Impressive work Kyle. As always.

Hope work has been steady out there for you @kswiss.

Thanks Kevin, definitely been staying busy lately especially with the winter quickly approaching. Lots of push coming from the contractors to get heating systems up and running.

If you aren’t stuck on going Bosch

Unfortunately I am stuck on Bosch not because of the grinder but because of the cutting shroud GA50DC.
