:: J'SFR i finally found a way to cut near perfectly straight through pvc on a poor man's budget, i intend to include photos and how-to's on a DIY section i'll be putting up soon. that being the case!... from the prop houses all the way up to right before the lights and camera is built on the outside of the sub! except for the vertical prop housing, i'm trying to figure a classier way of putting one on rather than just a tee in the back. the only things left to do to the outside are get either the slip unions or the female-male-adapters (not sure which i'll use) for the front and get  some skids on and it will be a full scale replica! heh...
i'm ordering the relays and going to run to radio shack this weekend to get the cable and see if they have an old joystick or something.

an announcement looks like thus...

this is where brief up-to-dating will occur, right around these parts, so be sure to check back often. i'll try to keep it maintained at the very broadest biweekly.

:: J'SFR picked up the following parts from homedepo: 2" tee (1), 3" - 1.5" reducer (1), 2" - 1.5" reducer (2), 3" - 2" flush brush (1), stock 2" & 1.5" piping
and from bass pro shop: bilge pump (1). i plan to get a nice little clamp rig on the folding table out back and will start photo cataloging as i cut the stock pipe and prime and set parts.
:: UDOSi stripped and cleaned the emptied OLD SPICE body and kept a small blue piece that held the actual deodorant and am considering a different type of cap for the camera area.
