I looked pretty hard at it (the liner),and tried to
flex it out of the way,but it had mud all over it,and
I wanted it outta there so I wouldn't have crap
falling on me while I worked. And you're right,looking
back on the job,it wasn't that bad. Couple hours. But
my post was typed in the heat of passion just after
finishing it,you must understand! :)
Now I have to go find some plastic rivets that'll fit
my liner.
