1989commanche Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Had to sand tape prime and paint. But it makes the wife happy. Next project lighting and drywall in the laundry room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989commanche Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 A little more Sanding and paint it will look great. Then gotta build in some shelves for storage. Funnest part was fishing wires down wall and into light box fighting insulation trying not to mess up drywall. Gave my multi-joint needle nose pliers a workout.

Pete M Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 fun times. though I'm not sure I count it as a "project" since it's just straight-up repair of the horrible rubber bushings and a wheel bearing. less than 100k miles on it and I've replaced every motor mount and half the suspension mounts. thanks chrysler.

Pete M Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 some stuff arrived today! also both fedex guys managed to back into the one lower branch on the west pear tree. the first almost punctured his truck but it popped up and slid over, the second caught it different and ended up snapping off 10 ft of wood. lol. one less thing I gotta trim I guess. still missing a couple more pieces.

derf Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Ive been discovering more sins made by the dip "stick" previous owner. The basement had a bunch of outlets. Turns out there were a total of 13 outlets on one circuit. There also was a cubby for a small fridge and microwave, each with a dedicated 20A circuit. So I took advantage of the drywall work to reuse those two circuits and split up the basement wiring. I also moved one of the light switches to a better location.

Pete M Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 the Cruiser is reassembled! ended up doing that suspension bushing on the other side too since it was hanging on by a thread. ran out of daylight so tomorrow I'll go for a test drive and check my work.

mjeff87 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 ^^^so much that. I absolutely can't stand stepping on a bit of anything on the kitchen floor when barefoot or in socks. I sweep constantly, like every day and my wife always comments about me sweeping too much. I just tell her to standby and see the pile of crap I end up with when I'm done (that usually shuts her up when she sees how "clean" the floor actually wasn't).

I guess house shoes or slippers aren't a thing up north? Not that I do it, unless you count flip flops as slippers. I kick my boots off as soon as I'm home from work and either go barefoot or flippity-floppity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
