The wife is jacked up...I have never owned a jeep and was stoked to be ford only when the dudge left..
This jeep is a project as the engine needs some love. No biggie as the price was right and it will have good value when done. Lucky is it is absolutely rust free,beautiful steel blue color and black leather baby!!
You should of bought a liberty.

Yeah I made the cut. Only 55 made it out of 138. So I'm now with the company that bought us out. Still doing the same job. But I get paid more. Hopefully it lasts for awhile.

Glad to see everyone's doing well! Awesome job Gabe at being one of the best!
I sure hope this Bich Kayla deosn't ruin my week! I've been enjoying the 20s-40s watching all the snow melt.
I've been all motivated thanks to the warmish weather. Been demo-ing concrete.
This house was one big DIY/half-assed deal. lol!




That slab is the original outdoor patio that was enclosed and is now part of the garage... IDK why you would pour the foundation up to it.. but not under it.. Or hack off the old crap and put in new.

That looks like one heck of a job Alex. How much work do you have to do?

They didn't put a footer under the patio or garage opening because it's not needed. There is technically no load being carried at those points. Kudos for the hilti demo hammer. Dems ain't cheap.

hey Byron, just to let you know, no bail money is needed.
i finally got the BS straightened out last night, and at 10 am the funds were transferred to my real account.

i walked into the branch managers office and told him i was not leaving until i had a definite answer as to where my G.D. money was, or in handcuffs.
and if i left in handcuffs i would own the bank and make sure he never worked in banking again.

Nice on the Diesel price!

And Nick - It's not 'necessary' for this work to be done. But by opening up that wall and relocating my pressure tank it will give me a LOT more storage space. As well as easy access to all the mechanical stuff for that half of the house.

Todd - I texted you a picture. There is 2 distinct cracks in my plaster in the large living room that tells me it has sunk a good portion.
