No problem, I can see that my original post came across with an unintended tone. I have similar family members - all mouth and no ears.

FWIW, IMHO it's a crime they were required to be operating at that depth. But to a "lay person" such as myself, this repair looked pretty straight forward (remove cover, insert large pipe, bolt down and add to the stack as necessary). I guess that after watching all the gut wrenching failed attempts this one looked "easy".

And to think I cut off all my hair to donate to the "hairboom" cause! - Just kidding.

Ok, let me try to nip this in the bud. I understand all of the above, and I'm with y'all on all that. What I was trying to ask is why this particular method wasn't attempted sooner in the game?

P.s. I was playing pin the tail on the donkey in the exact method you described last week.

I'm sorry but I have to ask. Why wasn't this done in a more timely manner?
