From what I have read online thus far is that it is important to kill the mold first. So applying some sort of mold killing agent is the first step. Let it stand 20-30 minutes and then vacuum up the dead mold residue. Once that is done, you can continue cleaning with a steam cleaner or something else.

What do you mean "me" Kemosabe? I think this is a perfect job for the kid to do.

Hey Frosty, I can say from experience that a mix of white vinegar and water will kill mold buddy. With that said I have never used it on cloth interior. 

Thanks bud. I’ve read that diluted white vinegar is the cheap ticket for killing and cleaning up mold.

In a continuing attempt to keep water and mice out of my garage mahal, I bought a garage door threshold kit from Home Dept. I cut the threshold to the correct length. Fit it to the door. I used a pencil to outline the front and back of the threshold. I then used the included adhesive and, per the instructions, I laid two lines and then a zig zag triangular shape to retain the threshold.

I slowly rolled the threshold onto the adhesive. I flattened with my foot first. Then I put the door down and did a little last minute adjusting. I am going to let this cure for the next day.

I think they fucked up when setting the floors heights frosty  

your floor should been a good 100mm -150 mm above the outside level 

And you wouldn’t have this issue 

I totally agree Kiwi! What is even more frustrating is the layout of the place. There are three buildings of units, arranged in sort of a”U” shape. My unit is located in the building that makes up the bottom of the U. The other two buildings are clearly elevated which easily aids water run off. My buildings is not elevated at all. Also, the asphalt that meets the cement pad has a lip, a few millimeters higher than the cement pad the building sits on. Stupid! 

Well the kid finally did it. He decided to to drag the 2006 Hummer H3 out of long term storage and drive it this winter and he placed his beloved 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD High Country pickup in its place. I had to rearrange cars to do it since the pickup can only fit in one place.

I had to place the pickup on the left hand side (as you look inside from the door). That’s where I had Black Beauty. Now the Roadmonster and Black Beauty are on the right hand side. Lucy and Violet are in the middle.

I put Stabil in his gas tank, connected it to a battery tender, and threw Dap-Rid and descant bags into the truck. What a nice dad I am. Did I get a thank you? Are you kidding me? Ha ha ha!

Awwww...you have names for all your cars. I only have one: She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Hay !

I have only one She Who Must Be Obeyed (aka My Boss). I name my cars in mostly female names because I want to have a superiority complex - at some level of my ego After all, we men are the weaker gender. Our wives scare the hell out of us.

Here is a shot beforehand. With the Hummer still in place. I had already pulled Violet and BB out of the garage by now. I forgot to get an after shot. I’ll get one soon.

The Hummer is back on the road!

As promised, here is what is spending the winter in the garage mahal. As you can see, the kid’s Chevy Silverado 2500 HD High Country pickup takes up a huge portion of the garage.

From the mezzanine, left to right.

Lower left - the Roadmonster

Upper left - Black Beauty

Middle lower - Lucy

Middle upper - Violet

Right - the Silverado

All of them have battery tenders hooked up and Sta-Bil in the gas tanks! If the kid wants a car cover for the truck, he’s going to have to buy his own! The damn thing is almost 25’ long! None of mine would fit anyway.

Frosty ! You need a bigger  garage !! 

Just enough room for some motor bikes 🤣

I am hearing ya 

If you got rid of all those silly gas guzzlers, you'd have LOTS of room for a nice little Corolla, a beer fridge and a pool table.

Let's do the maths. One man trying to drive 4 cars equals one limb per car. Or, you'd squeeze snugly into a reliable Corolla that gets about 70mpg.

Pfft...silly idea. Waiting for the torrent of bile...

F the Corolla mate!  Somehow how, in 20-30 years, I think the likelihood of my gas guzzlers will still be more sought after than someone doing a concourse restoration on a Corolla.
 

I already have the beer fridge and an air hockey table already. Does that count?

Merry Christmas gents and everyone else at FP!

A safe N Merry Christmas to all our FP family.

I decided to play in the garage mahal yesterday. I put up some wall art.

I started sweeping out the dirt and mouse turds. I got it half sweeped upped, i move all the cars except Lucy out. I swapped the Hummer where the Roadmonster was.

Then the wheels came off.

I jumped in Black Beauty. Click, click. F@$k! I spent the next hour trying to push it back into the garage single handedly! Ugh! It was very hot AND muggy! I had to stop several times to cool down and hydrate.

I then went to reconnect the battery tender on the Buick and the hood wouldn’t pop open even though i pulled the interior cable release. Well sh@t!. Screw it - it can wait.

I grabbed Violet, took her home and hand washed her. I used a synthetic clay bar while washing her. After washing i applied 303’s Spray and Rinse Ceramic Coating.

After that, i was D-O-N-E! I stopped to order dinner. Once I dropped off Violet and picked up the Colorado, i got dinner, went home, and crawled into the shower! Thats when i noticed all the cuts/bruises on my right shoulder and forearm from pushing the TA between the A piller and the T-Top.

Today we took my son out to dinner for his 26th birthday. So nothing is going to happen today. Its too late in the day and too hot and muggy still.

I will pull the battery out of the TA and bench test it to see if its bad. I will check YouTube for ways to pop open the hood on the Buick.

Edited July 27, 2025Jul 27 by Frosty

Two more hot and muggy days forecasted, with heat index over 100, At most, I am going to remove the battery and have it bench/load tested. Too hot for much else. Mid-week weather shows a comfortable cool down. Hopefully I can get some wrench time in at that point. I really want the Trans Am running for the West Michigan POCI groups annual cruise-in next Friday - August 8.
