Things always Take longer than I think they will.  The 24" cleaning job was no exception.  I did get it finished after 6 hours.  Advantage to having a saw sit long periods with muck in the bottom is that it compresses into an almost rock like material.  Disadvantage to having it sit too long is that it adheres to the bottom and is difficult to get under. In the end, I had to cut it like a cake and then try to get under it.  There is a disadvantage to being height challenged when cleaning the larger saws.  I almost have to crawl into the darn thing to reach the bottom.  I have said before, if I am ever homeless, I will wheel around my saw to sleep in.

Still to do with the thing is to figure out the large rattle.  I believe the plate that collects your rock after cutting is the culprit.  That would be an easy fix.  Lets cross our fingers.  

No sphere making yesterday.  Not much will happen today either.  Appointments.  YUK.

Tomorrow will start out baking pumpkin bread.   Then I will be back into my normal (really?) routine.
