Good for you and your one man crew. You just don't ever want to down size and cut your crew in half. Know of 3 guys that used to frame in town here that were one man operations and just depended on their equipment to get things erected. Amazingly efficient.

This week seems it is maintenance. My wife's 07 CTS Cadillac required a new alternator andpower steering pump. While I was in there it got new belts as well. While laying under the car to finish the alternator install I noticed that a nut was missing from the sway bar end link. Fortunately I'm a bit of nuts and bolts hoarder and I actually had the 10mm nut needed. Finally my darling wife asked if I could install an oil pan heater on her car as GM didn't see it wise enough to supply the car with a block heater.

Tonight was my daughter's Jetta's turn. Apparently it was making a grinding noise from the rear. The outer pads still had about 3/16" material left but the inner were gone. Tomorrow I get to install new rotors and pads.

Nice. Always bonus to have those wider floor joist to fasten into. A little room for error. Looking good.

Probably just a pain in the neck and shoulders for you.

 Caliper was fine but the slide pin on the mounting bracket was seized. New rotors, pads and bracket and rear brakes are awesome.

Ok, I was wondering. I've seen at our shop where they have the sliding pin seized, clean it all up and lube it good but it comes back a month or two later with the pin seized again. Figured I better mention it.

Glad you could save some money and not need a caliper.

For some reason I find doing brake jobs very rewarding.

We were doing a cleanup at work last week and I picked up some small pieces of aluminum checker plate that were to be scrapped. My garage has old kitchen cabinets so I thought I'd spruce them up by adding some plate to the doors. I'd say it turned out quite well. Here's before and after pictures.

Thanks. It was more work than I thought it would be. Almost every door was a different size.

Agreed that looks really good John. Organized like that makes it look like the guy doing the work in there knows what he is doing. I like it.

 Sounds like my house! whoever built it must have used whatever was on hand. Looking good, John. You should moonlight as an interior decorator.
