Good morning Connecticut.

Looks like I'm going to get rained out today.
I'll get what I can done before it hits.

New wrap around porch on a 1903 house in CosCob.

Balloon framing and bowed walls don't mesh with code compliance.

Lol

Good morning everyone. Took the truck to work today because of the rain, hopefully replacing some clutch springs in the bike this evening. My mother in law just bought an '06 Grand Caravan with 200,000 miles, so I now have some stuff to work on!

Good Afternoon,
Installed the new transmission lines yesterday afternoon. Also had the water pump lower outlet blasted and powder coated. Just waiting on the heater hose fitting to come in tomorrow, then its new belt and hoses. New water pump and radiator are in. Hopefully the truck will be back on the road on Thursday. Is the GTG still on for Sunday? Looking forward to meeting you guys. Anyone have an address?

Take Care,
Jim

Sorry about that Jim, we should have another one before too long. It had been uncharacteristically long since our last one.

Evening guys.
One more day of work this week for me and then it is off to the woods with my son for 4 days at cub scout camp.
Looks like we will have some great weather.
