Anybody have a thought as to the age of the arch they were using? Looked like it had seem some serious use. I'm assuming the bricks that were sitting on top of the other bricks at the back of the ramp were there to create air turbulence?
In regards to the drill, I believe that was a section of PVC designed to keep a person from overdrilling the hole. I thought it actually looked like a decent idea. I did cringe when Mike drilled the hole all crooked though. Should have had him help make firewood for an hour or two or had him come back and scrub out the pans at the end of the season. That would have given him plenty of activity.
