    February 17th, 2011 at 6:18 pm Thank you…I always find it interesting how different measurement schemes come up with wildly different answers. Keeps the bureaucrats employed, I guess. It’d really be something if Sarah-Sarah had a significantly different measurement :)

    April 3rd, 2012 at 1:37 pm Why are you not building the range in steel? Is it just weight? At what size will steel come into play? Igor

    Steel is higher in maintenance because of the paint/rust equation, much heavier, and when all things are considered, more costly.
