Like a kid 3 days before Christmas, I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my CV1800 ordered last week) and the sticker shock is starting to wear off. I have been getting the duct work together and finalizing the layout along with new hood designs.

Yesterday I started to think about blast gates. I have opted not to build my own - its a time thing. I was all ready to order 7 CV blast gates, but when I added the items to the cart, $42 in shipping costs showed up - $6 for each blast gate! I will give them a call to see if they can add them to my current cyclone order and maybe save a little.

If not, I will probably order the self cleaning ones from LV - $12 shipping for all 7 blast gates. I would rather not because I like that the CV ones fit over the PVC. Or I may just make my own.
