I'm with Andy on this.
We are OK to overbuild ( always photo and document!) till someone 
complains. We get the taxes but no services out here on the edge of the 
county. Building inspectors are polite because backup takes over an hour 
and there's no cell phone service.

Well, i pulled the chain and bought a used Miller XMT 304 CC/cv and wire 
feeder on ebay in the wee hours of this morning,after a dozen email 
exchanges with the seller. I emulate Reis again.
All fingers and toes are crossed.
If that works out, i gotta sell my Miller 200 MIG, which works fine, and 
my  funky lincoln 250/250 stick and TIG welder. Along with a giant 
pedestal grinder. punch press..etc.
Gee,, gotta bunch stuff to sell now...hate that part.
Any suggestions, here at the bottom of the economy?..pf
