my dad has a pressure washer & we have a hot water hook up on the outside , might just take the colum & boiler & hot water pressure wash them really good & then soak in some vinegar

also do a run with the still of just plain water before i make a run

thank so much yall !!

my wife picked up the SS scrubbies last night from wally world ! she got 3 boxes , with 2 in each box ,,

the plate seems like a good idea THANKS !!! , it would be easier to have a plate of sorts rather than extending the colum below the bowl i think !
