We made a little more progress today. We are still wire tying the vacuum and pump lines (both are 1 1/2") We have a short run of a mainline to the releaser to complete. I am hoping tomorrow I can have both 1 1/2" lines down to the point were the 1" mainline is located. We have to wire the vacuum pump and finish the "exhaust port" to the outside. The cold has been a help giving us extra time to finish up, but it has been a bear to work in at time.
