Rich,

What you have shared is very valuable for many of us. I'm within 1 week of having Rhapsody in the water, and to quote one of the comments you have with the pictures "... it's not wise to go looking for trouble". I will stick my head in the sand until the end of this season, then do some more investigating. I don't have the skills to do a major repair like this without professional help (that may mean the shrink too!).

Good luck on the balance of your repairs. I'd love to see your finished work.

Bill
