dasbulliwagen Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I enjoy your enthusiasm. I couldnt see myself tackling a project like that at my age now, but I have been there, many years ago, working on a freezing cold garage floor with minimal tools and numb fingers. Ive been in the gravel driveway with no help too. I hope you don't lose interest in it because I like seeing it getting done. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
