I see your fairly new to the site. Welcome. Brotherhood does abound here and training is free for the taking. I read far more than I contribute, there is so much knowledge in this site it has a humbling affect. Stay safe, glad you enjoy my post.

Thanks for the kind comments on the Vent video. It was very humbling to see it on the FE Community site but I'm glad it has been useful to a few Brothers. We hope to do a few more videos in the future. Hopefully they will serve a purpose as well.

Its a bit slow at -50 below, but we're okay. I had a back muscle sieze up and so I was at home, but my boys caught a structure at -48 degrees last night. Talk about character building!
