RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull parts arrived

Thanks! One thing that caught me by surprise was that all 17 pieces were on
one giant pallet and could not be taken apart until we got the whole thing
on the ground. The pallet itself (just the wood) is way too heavy to lift,
it probably weighs 250 lbs. Today's miracle will be if the garbage guys take
it away in one piece without me having to convert it to matchsticks and hide
it in plastic bags.

Congrats Alec!

The arrival day for our parts is still very fresh in my mind
so I know what you're going through!

It's very exciting isn't it?

Yes, you'll stare in amazement at it, and marvel at just how
heavy *everything* is.

You'll soon come to realize that not only is everything heavy,
but that it is usually hot, sharp, dirty, and especially noisy!

Also, it is of course, FUN!

Definitely feel free to drop me a line if you think I can offer
any kind of advice.

The best of luck!!!!
