IS there any way for you to cheat.. mount a float switch to a pole, slide it in to the clean out.. and wire it from there??

I agree Joe. Actually, collector things aside, I cant stand seeing anything not used for its purpose. Which brings to mind my grandpa.
Vehicle/toy
Nissan 300Z twin turbo- Doesnt drive, garaged.
72' Mustang Mach 1 351C- Doesnt drive, garaged
0'something ski boat, why does an 87 yr old have a ski boat? lol he doesnt ski, also garaged and not used...
95 Aircat airboat with 350 corvette engine, bought custom and new, garaged....
76' Bronco -garaged....
It goes on and on but it drives me and everyone else bonkers.....Nobody is allowed to drive/borrow or use any of it.....Just for looks.

I'd have to drop comments like "that Z really needs an alignment..." then again, even if I had the money for a REAL Shelby Cobra 427... I'd drive it. That's why they were built. Maybe at track day stuck mostly, but I'd have to go out on the street with it. Rare or not, they were meant to be driven.

Depends on which garage... There is a 3 bay shop, double deep, then another 2 bay shop, double deep, and then another one for the boats.....And he still has toys outside. Crazy huh? He was a welder/pipefitter and made some really great investments on property and fixing up homes, long before the home improvement craze....

Sheldon, I hope the dig goes okay man! Catch you guys later.
