There should be enough room between the sheet metal and the fuel pump lines for air nibblers to clear, right? I’d rather not make sparks with a cut off wheel. And it’s an excuse to buy air nibblers. 😉
Projects always mean new equipment.
Deck = Dewalt 10" miter saw, water level, square drive screwdriver bits
Pool = nitrous? :dunno: 😃

I had the drawings and masked the area to cut last night. Then I started rethinking the sparks…
