[TheForge] Mud in the hole!OT

[Jerry Frost]

That's a great big AFFIRMATIVE Dave, the shop indeed does now have a floor 
with in floor heat tubing, subfloor exhaust and 46 gazintas.

I never drilled oilfield, we were geotech for bridges, foundations, etc.

We drilled the occasional cement plug though. It was a real pain picking the 
right bits, cement is so inbetween hard and soft formations, green or 
otherwise. Green's nothing but a bally gummy bit plugging bunch of crap to 
drill. Give me nice hard rock any day. <grin>
