[TheForge] PVC for compressed air

[Larry Ruebush]

I will agree with you that it is a very expensive way to go. There is 
another company that has more or less the same stuff set up for shops and it 
is about the same price.
I farm and have a small trucking operation and in the past two years, it 
seems like every thing has doubled in price. Everything except for my 
income.
