Getting caught up finally,  yardwork, wiring problem in a house circuit,  New lighting (part of short prob, blowing fuse), New dishwasher (part of my short problem), Have installed new plugs/switches in the entire circuit. New fridge, Can not believe I have a TV in the fridge. Hooks to wi fy and gets channels I don't on cable.  I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit in front of the fridge, but might be handy if I'm drinkin beer while watching.  You can use the camera's on your phone to see whats in the fridge. WHY???  Who cares???  I only have talk N text anyway.  Need to get going on the Sunbird again, Justa remembered, I filled the cooling system with plain water in case of leaks or if I had to drain.  Can't let it freeze, need to make it run. Now need to drop tank and replace fuel pump and rebuild the Holley. Finally get the rest of the car back together and reclaim some garage space. Cheated this year N took the daily drivers in for oil changes.  Scrape metal run to clean up the yard, get rid of my ol motor/parts and clean the leaves from the gutters, then I can get back to a LIL bow hunting before the season is over.  We do have the 2 week gun hunt for deer this month. Last chance to fill my tag.  Whew....you try all that in one breath.

Especially while evidently drink a beer in front of the fridge & watching tv!😳

JustA, does this mean your fridge is in the lounge ??? or have you moved your favourite chair out to the kitchen 

Doesn't get my car shows or new ones.  Completely useless.  I suppose when it quits....(and it will mess up) the fridge/freezer won't work as well.  IndyJoe whatcha think?

hes right frosty! 

 

hay frosty, did you sort your drainage issue at the front door of your mahal ? 

Kiwi - no I haven't. I have an idea for myself, but the real solution lies with the property owner. It will be a combination of who does the snow removal and how it's done. Essentially snow cannot be left in front of the doors and allow ice piles to form and build up and thaw in front of them.

Last Indian suggested some sort of barrier that I can install on the threshold. I may do that but that won't hold back everything if I get another 3/4 inch raise in the cement (due to freeze/thaw cycle) again combined with all the snow/ice build up in front of the doors.

hmmm, i would be pushing the owner for some proper drainage channel along the front of your building, if its getting under the doors it will be getting under the walls too, which isnt good for his building long term. 

I totally agree

Buy a warranty from India, only to find out, they don't make house calls.

If we only knew a GE tech..LOL

Wishful thinking.  I would have voted him in as Govenor.  

After trying to start the engine last fall only to have the float stick in the carb and fill the engine with gas.  I'm messin with the timing and everything else with the fuel pump running. even had gas running out the exhaust.  Let er dry out over the winter, fired it this spring on gas from a bottle.  Reworked the fuel system replacing all rubber with the new ethanol resistant fuel line, cleaned and blew out all hardlines, rebuilt the carb, removed the old undercoating from the tank, repainted tank N straps,  probs with the fuel pump led me to drop the tank again and pull out the pump and swap for an external. (yes I scratched it up) installed tank again and Made the brackets for the new pump tonight.  Install new pump tomorrow AM and finally fire the Sunbird with her new heart!!!!

  No need now,  new pump installed, ready to hit the defibrillator and the wife (head Nurse) say's I better get ready to go.  Her class reunion is today and starts in an hour.  To make things worse, we went to rival High schools, so this really sucks for me. BTW I'm a Pontiac Chief...... Nuff said!  Huskies pull sleds in Alaska.

Obviously JUSTA hasn’t watched every episode of Roadkill AND Roadkill Garage.  If he did, then he’d know how to do the “wrong thing the right way”. Lord knows these guys know their way around zip,ties and duck tape solutions.

Since when did we start caring about doing the right things the right way?
