I got the cat out of my R12S in a few hours using a star drill and hammer to remove it from the open end of the pipe. It's not ceramic, but not that hard to remove using the meatball method.

Now that I think about it, I first drilled three holes with a long 1/2" HS drill bit, then employed the star drill approach.

Now I am confused, table or deck?
With Bill following me around to correct my mistakes, I think I will go out and work in the garage. RB |

Do not take too seriously

I don't know how he has time left to work.
