Well, at least ya won't be wearing out your lower back having to move that beast. It still amazes me that your back has held up after more than 30 years of dragging antique stoves around.

Come on Panch confess, you will be found our sooner or later. I'm busting with curiosity as all know that it's a 90% probability that it's a board member. No it's not me, I got no money, spare chimney or room. What happened, a year ago they were around but now everything has dried up. It's all Williams fault.

Why would someone wait until the last minute to place a bid on ebay? Most people use automatic bidding anyway, right? I usually just enter a max bid and walk away. Ebay bids on my behalf until my max is met.

I don't want to be part of bidding an item up in price.
To me that is counter productive.
Now if I'm selling I want all the bids I can get, bids force the price higher.

Ah TC, that is the sensible and rational thing to do. Are you sure you are a coal burner.

Sincere congrats Panch, you is the man. Now when it is restored and running let's have a video of the whole setup, I presume at the other end of the house.
