Sold the wrecked Echo this week. Nice to see it go as it was difficult to look at every day. Got enough to purchase a few sheets of "Smartside panels" to fix my outbuilding.
I wasn't home when it left. Connie sent me this photo. Apparently the guy had a hard time towing the trailer with the car on it using his own car. I would suspect his Nissan was only rated to tow $1500 lbs.
I'd say if his tow capacity was 1500 lbs, his trailer was liked rated for that by the look of it. No problem here but the Yaris weighs about 2200 lbs................ I'm impressed he got it loaded.

Well seeing it's been pretty nice here I thought I'd tackle some interior work on my '17 Ram. Installed 3 rocker switches- lights in the grille and my light bar for the lower bumper yet to be installed- as well a dual USB port for my dash/rear camera. While was taking the interior apart I thought I would add some accent color to the dash/console. If you look at the hood vents you'll see green lights in there. In the middle I installed a row of Amber for signals-YES they do work.

Tried to pull over a 200 year old cedar! Didn't work...but I got a dent out!! Fixing my booboo from a year back! Smuck from the back door to the rear window....ya work with what you got. Trees are good dent pullers!
Did some one man framing this week. Quite happy with the progress. 12 hours to lay out 4) 26' walls, drill 25 holes for anchor bolts, 2 trips to building supply for the material, cut all the studs and then frame and sheet the 10' walls. I'll be 64 in a couple months. Then had my 66 year old buddy come over and in less than an hour we had all 3 walls standing and nailed together using my wall jacks. Owner is pretending he is a plumber and is putting the nuts on the anchor bolts for me.

I like seeing the footing walls rather then a floating pad. What are the rules there for this? Think at one time we could go 24x24 max with floating pad here

Yes, same rules here unless you get a geotec to sign off for you.
I like that idea too. I'm hoping to have a 30x40 garage in the next couple of years. May end up doing it myself to save some $$. The hard part is finding somone competent here to do the concrete. The concrete in my existing garage is a disaster. Huge cracks and heaves.
Worked on the Bonni truck 8am-9pm the whole long weekend.Getting close. Thinking of driving the 57 down there when we go......and it has a bigger trunk!!

With they way you packed the Acadian, I think some air shocks are in order for the 57 or will you be going with the reverse rake lowrider look?
Well, it wasn't in the garage/shop or driveway but I walked this stunning young woman down the aisle this afternoon and released her to a fine young man I can now call my son.
Congrats Carl, its a great day and a beautiful bride. It would be a good day to have an old 4 door Pontiac with AC, I think it was hot your way?
I have 2 daughters, one son in law and one sin in law. The sin in law is a wonderful guy, they've been together for 15 years and have 2 grandchildren, but I still enjoyed the wedding with my other daughter. Getting married, the event, isn't as "important" as it used to be, but I still think its important and its great your daughter did too.

looks like mother nature was at her best too, hope your new son in law has extra space in his garage
They don't, yet.................. Because she kept her end of the deal I made with her, she got her "living clean" money for an old car from me when she turned 21. She hasn't bought one yet though because they only have a single garage.
Those of you who have walked your daughter down the aisle and turned her over to a man you are proud to call son will know what a feeling it is, and what a great day we had.
