I'm in Colorado but I spend the summers where the gold is! this summer I spent my time in Oregon.
Well I have put the project away and getting ready to head to Arizona for a few weeks before I go home for the winter. I will be back in Feb and back working on the project sometime in March.

Nice work bud! I don't really care for that air pump though. My bud has one of the new tripple sluice 4" , and he went threw 2 in one summer. Luckly Keene sent him new ones for free!! Just because he went to the shop and bought it new from them. Is that a soda tank your using for air?? It works???? Might have to use the ones I have!!!!

Keene has totally redesigned the the KAC compressor as of last November because of all the problem with the first released KACs, I haven't heard of anyone that has used/tested the latest design that would let us know if Keene really has fixed the issues.
