Jim I just level the dirt and do the concrete. Putting the things up is a whole different ballgame.

I checked out blackstone while I was at work, and you have to send them the stuff for analysis. That'll take a while. I'll have to stop by HO Penn sometime. On a side note, the distributor gets here today! I followed shipping progress and it could have been here yesterday! It was in Hartford, and then sent to shrewsberry Mass.? WTF?!

I've used Blackstone. It's faster than you think Josiah.

Yeah, UPS is f'd up that way.
I am STILL waiting for parts coming from Cali. Almost two weeks???
They could have sent it by wagon train.

First they're here....then they're not.
I once had an "exception", which meant the truck burned to the ground in Kansas someplace.

I expect to see more pics in your build thread!

Ray, or anyone?
Interested in a backpack tool cabinet from a 2007 Mitsubishi cabover truck?
My neighbor (Anderson Electric) is removing it from their new (used) truck to make way for a knuckle boom.
I'm cutting the headache rack off the dump bed right now.
I can MMS phone pic's if anyone wants to see it.

By Hartford they mean it was at the Bradley and that's not a distribution center as crazy as that sounds. All the air cargo and bulk ground cargo goes directly to a distribution site then to a home delivery site ie UPS Hartford or so I've been told

Sure post it up Jim

Afternoon all! measuring to put a fence up now... can't decide if I want to just do those metal T posts or wood posts... I have some cedar posts I can use but not enough to do the whole yard. Gotta get something up with at least one gate, for the lawn mower to fit through.

Hey anybody got a good used battery? I need one for the '83 so it'll stay running, I can give it back after a month or so while Josiah and I swap parts, that way I can move it around if need be. I can buy one at the junk yard for $25 but I don't want to spend anymore money on it.
