Yup- I've installed a total of 5 of their conversions, I wouldn't use anyone else's. By all means, get the delay option- you'll never look back...

Maybe it's just because it's all new, but the "feel" of the old 'Barn is definitely MIA- I guess we're not in Kansas anymore,Toto. Seems we're left to pick up the pieces and try to make the best of the new HAMBARN...
