I can't do video on my phone. Something's wonky with it. I'll take more pics though!
Not hours, but I did keep track of the days. A typical day was about 6 hours.
You have more money than I do, my friend. I have zero talent but I figured hey, I can't mess it up any more than it already is. May as well give it a shot. So now I'm up by about $5500 ($3500 if you just count the powerhead) and I only spent two weeks working on it in my spare time, plus machinist time. And my total expense was about $350 plus gasket stuff. Heck, I took enough pics you could do it too and save a ton of money!
