<p>Hey Y’all! Any body interested in the trade of the decade? I’m willing to trade a Colossus for a XXl Lunar or maybeanother large exotic rocket lamp. LMK! Cheers, Jethro</p>

<p><em>I cannot wait to move.</em></p>
<p><em>It seems that every weekend there is a new issue to address and wasting my weekend from the shotty workmanship and mismanaged construction of this hellhole</em></p>
<p>Anyway,...</p>
<p>I had to bring out the shop-vac, empty it, and convert it to wet-vac in order.to clean up the 1" of standing water in the laundry room.</p>
<p>Hmm...</p>
<p>Bright idea~!</p>
<p>'While the vac was still out from the night before, I decided to try it on draining the colossus</p>
<p>What used to take me over an hour to do, took less than 20 seconds to empty.</p>
<p>I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this earlier.</p>

<p>Taking a small survey here</p>
<p>On your Colossus, What is distance from the bottom of the globe (using the horizontal interior rim that the globe sits on as measuring point) to the top of the lamp, does your Colossus have?</p>
<p>I used a small ruler and bridged the rim from one side to the other and measured down to top of lamp.</p>

<p>Any input would help.</p>

<p>Been toying with the idea of building Colossus for sale in the UK (Europe?). Just comes down to cost and sourcing the parts. Whats more, you can have a variety of globe shapes that are not yet available.</p>
<p>Here is a video of a company I know making the monster glass vessel on a turning lathe. …</p>

<p>I have contacted them with drawings and wish to negotiate a price. </p>

<p>Anybody interested in seeing this thing through? </p>
