Big Lew,

I'm heading your way for the Independence Day weekend. Got to get out of this heat and looking forward to the NE this time of year. Your advice on the anti sieze is well taken and something I've given consideration to. One of the wise owls on this site has pointed me to a synthetic material that I think I can laminate into my deck that should give me the strength I'm looking for. When I get to that point I'll post the procedure in advance so I can get called out on any potential problems. Thanks for the laugh with your descriptive terms, good to know someone else has twisted humour.
