Brian had some transportation/sibling problems so we got to his house at 3:36. I had to leave by 4:20 so that didn't leave us a lot of time if we had a snack. We got qoing pretty quickly but had some trouble figuring out what to do. I finally blew up but that released the tension and we went and drilled some more holes for the lifting system itself. Brian's dad showed up showed us a few cool thing befors going back to work. First, he said that you can't silver solder aluminum. I had already though this but Brian had convinced me otherwise. Then he showed us alternative tool that he had built that uses rubber to force out the sides of a pipe. If used properly, it would allow us no mount our guide rods better. I should write more but I don't feel like it.
