It wasn't "rocket science".

And it wasn't much work either. But it's still harder than posting,
and that's the maximum level of exertion that Gunner is familiar with.
Plus he needs to go through a corrugated roof, which would be easiest
and best if only he were capable of some modest welding instead of
boasting about tons of machines and filler rod.


No, I have faith that Gunner can figure out how to put a chimney hole
in a galvanized iron roof.

For Gunner:
Knew a guy up in Maine who poured his cellar walls without making
allowance for the water pipe. When it came time to do the plumbing he
was faced with the job of busting a hole through a 12 inch concrete
wall. And he'd just bought himself one of those S&W model 29's ....

(Probably not quite the way you want to put the pipe hole in your roof
:-)


Might need to put on muffs and plugs G


The guy was a member of the Air force pistol team as I was and had
brought out his brand new pistol to show the boys. We all got to shoot
it (mostly a single shot was sufficient experience) and were talking
about how powerful the damned thing was when he recounted the story
about the hole in the concrete wall. He said that he'd built a little
shelter out of scrap wood and was shooting through a hole in the side
of the shelter. Said that shrapnel was flying about some :-)

This is the ceiling Im having to deal with. Its not quite...galvanized
iron roofing. If it were..Id simply cut a hole..run up the pipe and
then put a plate and then foam under it. This has 4" deep/ square
corregations.

Hell..I'll go out in a bit and snap some photos of what it looks like
now

Another thought, in passing. How often does it rain in your locale? I
lived at Edwards for a couple of years and it rained once, for about
20 minutes.


We get about 4"-6" of rain a year here. Though we are in the middle
of the usual 7 yr dought cycle at the moment.

So we might get 3" this year, by the time summer comes along.

"Rainy Season" is in January usually..so we might get a couple inches
then.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
