Re: Passing the trade on....
Thanks Maddog!!! Always appreciate the kind words and patience! Great learning from one of the best. Picking up things quickly but there’s always something to learn.

Re: Make it work....
Or a 3 section boiler....Considering what website this is.You can also store, brooms, mops, New York Magazine & National Geographic behind that toilet! Mad Dog 🐕You could store 10 years worth of McMaster Carr catalogs behind that toilet.....
Or a spare TH400 / 4L80E.
