Cpteddie,
Second time I have answered this today! First time I almost got done and lost power to everything including this post. So, once again;
Black it is. Initials? Color?

Radiant heat is where it's at! And I now have the furnace and 500' of lines completely insulated wrapped and buried in ADS. All buried at least 2' below ground! Yahoo. The furnace is on and kicking butt, the shop is a "cool" 78" and the outside is below 50'. Finding the heating tubes is not a problem. I have a very technical pyro gun which allows me to read every foot of the 2,000' of piping laid in the concrete. I got readings of 68'........then 72' then back to 68' etc. thus giving me the exact location of the tubes I need to avoid!

The bender puts out ten ton of pressure, I expect it will take almost every bit of that to bend this 2" thickwall ODM tubing. As you are well aware of, an old cliché' for every action there is an equal and opposing reaction....The only thing in this shop that may hold up to ten tons of p.s.i. are the steel girders holding the sidewalls and I doubt if they can hold that much! Lagging it is!

The car: We had all the parts to the starter-4 pieces mounted in the trunk and could not get it to work, that's when "FR" told us it all had to be within 3' of you - the driver! So, we moved everything again, mounted it up front and golly-gee it worked. Not to worry, I will hide it as well as possible but plan B could not be helped.

Finally back to work!
DV
