Reply:About the inside..Notice the Tie-off..It is at the start tack..And if you do it right the pieces still stay square with the bottom plate!After those..Just a new threaded insert into a flange for a wastewater treatment plant..And YES! It smelled like wastewater.. I get all the fun jobs.. ...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
