Measure once cut twice? err measure twice cut one? I follow one of those two mantras but I forget which.

Learning that a 16 grit flapper wheel on the end of a grinder makes a crap load of fine white powder when applied to fiberglass?

You should see how much dust three grinders with flapper wheel make at one time !

       Why would there be trouble?   Come home drunk covered in glitter from the strip club could pose an issue maybe?   Looks like some fine work.   Hope you can have it out this summer when the water returns to normal.

So apparently my dad's Intimidator runs on orange crush pop........

This is what came out of the water separating fuel filter. 
Needless to say I siphoned all the old gas out of the tank, replaced the filter in the carb and the waste separating filter.
