Care to tell us how you intend to fit the 150+ft long by 27+ ft

ET in the vacuum facility at Plumbrook?


The Plum Brook facility is 100' in diameter and 122' tall. I'll just
jackhammer out the 8' of concrete and use a plasma torch on the
aluminum skin of the roof.

Now, add a 40-foot aluminum dormer, weld in a new skin over the removed
roof, pour some fresh concrete, let dry for 96 hours and pop that
sucker right in.

Job could be done in just a few weeks and come in at under $100K. Not
much harder than putting in a new bathroom without the horrors of
choosing the right wallpaper.

Sometimes even rocket science isn't rocket science.

You forgot the probable need for increased pumping capacity needed to handle
the larger internal volume. Rocket science isn't always rocket science, but
it often is actual science. Before you respond, please show you've done the
math.
