I spent 14 hours on it today. I don’t schedule many customer projects, when there’s a major undertaking like this to make Momma happy. I do have an Equinox that needs a fuel pump and a Subaru that needs a power steering pump and a few other things. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 67,190 #30 Posted yesterday at 05:36 PM Rain delay… which is fine for a mid day coffee break. My shop’s a mess and I’ll spend the afternoon working in there doing some tidy work. I need to fab up a diving board anchor too, once I get the shop in ship shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,190 #31 Posted yesterday at 05:44 PM I have been asking my concrete guy questions and guidance along the way. Friday was the plan for him to come set forms, but this rain delays him a bit. Friday is Grandma’s funeral service and I wouldn’t have been available to help or answer/ask questions. That’s been pushed to Monday, which is great! I was stressing over this not being adequate to make a great pour. He assured me that the efforts I’ve put into the job have far exceeded where he would normally start. He has all week next week set aside for this job only and he won’t allow the project to fail. Monday is setup day. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday if needed, we’ll pour. Thursday/Friday, we clean up and cut lines. Yay! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 67,190 #34 Posted 10 hours ago Cleaned up the shop yesterday and rocked out a fuel pump in an equinox. Two sending units? What? Silliness. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 14,213 #35 Posted 5 hours ago Haven’t seen a plate compactor in use yet in any of your vids. I am hoping the excavation contractor is compacting in layers on the backfills. Just running a bobcat back and forth isn’t generally considered adequate compaction of soil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
