Got the housing ordered, MAY be Monday (could still show up Friday) b4 it makes it, since it didn't get ordered until this morning...

Thats fine, I may end up not needing it actually, but still want it to satisfy my curiosity. And yes, the fire thing was back in January

I wasn't aware of the fire extinguisher incident...
everybody is poking fun at you for all the mishaps you've had, but I gotta give you props for not giving up.
