So, lots of questions, and I realize that the answers might not be very helpful, but helpful ones would take a lot of time on my part, and that is not the intent of this page. Buy or borrow a copy of the "Apprentice." Likewise my video on rig inspection. Or just feed us the questions in smaller increments.
Fair leads,
