For people wondering how freight companies lose shipments i can say it happens somewhat often. I use to work for one of the larger freight companies and besides losing shipments they would lose trailers and sometimes tractors. Every sonoften would get emails asking people to check the yards for such and such equipment lol. Often though will show up at some point. Another reason is shippers dont put good address lables and tracking numbers on packages. Once these come off it is pretty much a goner unless someone at a terminal can find it.

Our experience with shipping XR via freight for the last 15ish months is that shipments are ‘lost’ daily. They are almost always found (99.9% of the time), so we dont elevate concern until its been missing a few days based the expected final delivery date.

We moved my daughter from NC to CO a year ago. Used a 16ft POD filled with most everything she owned. They lost it. Then they “found it” 4 separate times (or lied about knowing where it was). Took them 3 weeks to really find it & deliver it to her. In the meantime we had to replace a lot of her stuff so she wasn’t sitting in the floor eating takeout for a month.

I now recommend that if you’re shipping anything via freight to drop an Apple Airtag into the container. Chances are someone will walk by it with an iphone and you’ll know where it is.

See, in this day and age that’s unacceptable. EVERY truck on the road that’s a 2001 or newer has GPS for the electronic logs. Period, end of story. How you lose an entire pod off a specific truck is beyond me.

Oh well

Did I lose track of time? Busy week of work
 Are we suppose to wait the 5 days for the concrete to cure fully first?

Using primary and secondary drain plugs in case something gets through

Flooding this thing was quite fun. Made me feel like I knew what I was doing.

@Bill_A I would but there’s no need. Assembly has been pretty easy so far. Will be easier with more builds and larger knowledge base. You will likely have the machine built faster than me.

Did you wind up getting more epoxy, or was it enough to get it up to the drains?

@Bill_A i had to use .25 gallons more. You will not have this issue because you will follow the instructions :wink:

Looking awesome
 Did you use the full two gallons? I ordered 1 additional kit after they said yours was a little low. Mine was the same as yours.I was worried I would get it to high somewhere and it wouldn’t drain right.
