Use a small rope to run it the way you want then measure that if you're not sure. We use a long rope with a weight on it we drop down chimneys till it hits bottom or whoever it needs to be then put a knot in the top as high as we need it to make sure the flex aluminum pipe is long enough to work. Stretch the pipe out and lay it down with the rope next to it. If it's as long or longer we're good to go. Do similar routing with your small rope and measure it and maybe a bit extra and that should do it as to how much really need.
Great idea! Thanks Terry!

Got it. Well, if you don't mind, I'm assuming it is a riddle, because that's more fun.

My guess for the not-riddle (knot riddle?), is that you received even more of the already-too-much rope, and "more fail", is an anagram of, "for a mile".

Riddles are your domain so spring us a new one! Your last one was amazing!

This was my last one and it flopped, so clearly these things shouldn't be forced. Feels bad.

Oh strange! i don’t know how I missed the latest posts @flyzipper !
Sorry about that!

Here is something to puzzle over- always draw a picture is the lesson I learned after three days trying to figure it out in my head.

And 14” is my estimate for 21” so I had to reorder. LScoot Quaker freaks out seeing a tape measure so I guesstimated incorrectly lol 464C3B72-9FFF-4BE5-B186-47C719950C1A.jpeg

I'll need to revisit that on my computer monitor, with my glasses, a magnifying glass, and a half-full half-absorbed cup of caffeine coffee.
it’s nothing don’t bother but you can make up some alternative facts if you so wish :roflmao:
