Larger furnace build

Did the Amarillo trip and did not get sand or gutters.  Just too much to do in a day.

Wore us both out.  2 days to recover.

The fan went on out the Linde AC stick welder.  Using a room fan with the case off for now.

Visited Harbor Freight and a portable band saw followed me home.  Also picked up a set of parallels and another angle grinder.
