Elevator push tubes
I want to work on some of the small items remaining. So tonight I pulled out the tubes for the elevator. I cut them to length and drilled the rod ends to the smaller tube. I need some primer to slosh in them before I close them out.

TIP: I've read that it can be difficult to insert the shorter push tube in the tunnel when both rod ends are installed. Some builders are having to enlarge the holes in the tunnel to get it to fit. I tested this last night and confirmed that it's true. :-) The solution is to leave off one of the rod ends, insert the tube in the tunnel, then rivet on the rod end. (Of course it won't come out after that!)

Wasn't exactly in the building groove, so I called it a night and watched the Chiefs beat the Ravens. (Barely!)
