I don't need the beer line to get started but I'd need it soon as I'm going out of town on the 11th.

Jim/Tim,
Can I pick up the tap box and beer line tonight or tomorrow night? If tonight doesn't work, I was thinking of heading to 3BB tomorrow night to try the new wit and we could meet there. Let me know what works best.
I do not have the line yet. I will have to go buy it.

The tap tower is 7-3/8" by 30" (actually, a smidge over 30).

Cool. If you'd like, you could meet me at 3BB and give me the 1x4's.

My family will probably be there for supper (Tues night is kids night). I'll try to remember to bring it with me.

Jims:

Are you going to stick around for a beer? I might stop over for one after I drop my daughter off at track practice. Let me know.

Thanks

My wife is working again tonight so I'll stop by around 6pm to eat and have some beer.

Fairly square corners or should I do a small radius? I'll get it made with the edges folded under. We can drill the screw holes once we get the 2 together. How many and what sized screws if you can tell. I'll grab some stainless screws ahead of time.

Original didn't have any screws. Justheld on by gravity/friction.
The corners are square.

So it's just a cap that fits down over the top?

By the wear and scratches, it looks like the original top came down the sides 1/2"

Yes.

We need to replace the taps. The shanks and tail pieces are OK, but the taps themselves are badly corroded and rusty. There might be 1 or 2 that can be saved but they are all in poor shape. I've got two taps that I'll donate but we need several more.

If you have any that you are willing to donate, let me know.

Thanks,

Sounds like we need to purchase 8 taps. I would be willing to donate money for two of them. Does anyone have an opinion of what type to purchase? Rapids has these available:
