The ribs are looking GOOD! I did get those crossovers installed in the truck stereo today. They really did break up the sound between the front door speakers, and the tweeters in the pillars, I almost think the door speakers sound like they have more bass to them now. But those crossovers keep the low to the door speakers, and the highs to the tweeters

Are you tearing down the chimney at your place
Maybe some chapter members could show up and give a hand if needed

James, how did the demo on the chimney go?
Larry, saw the pics, looks like a pretty big clean up going on.
I myself, worked on installing trim in the basement around the flooring I put in over the break at Christmas. It's not a pro job, but It's not too bad I don't think. Suppose it could be better. Anyway, break from doing that tomorrow, getting out to the shop to install some side steps on Mary's jeep, so she doesn't have to keep jumping in\falling out of it. We're debating on installing pedal extenders
but one thing at a time.
Time to start planning the vegetable garden and looking to see where I left of on the 350 soon.

Well, started early this morning.
Looked like this:
This was my view most of the morning:
This is where I got:
I'll post up more tomorrow when I wrap up. About to have folks over for burgers on the grill. I'm pooped.
Sounds like you've been busy as well. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Here is where my chainsaw cutting/cleanup got too.
The pile of debris is about 12' tall, and probably 10'×10' easy. Then the log pieces were just some of the larger pieces that were easy enough to cut into manageable pieces for the fire pit.

Mostly swinging a 3lb hand maul all day with assorted chisels. Wasn't able to swing the 8lb maul until I got closer to the bottom. Here are a few more assorted photos. I got everything weather tight until I can get back and start repairs on the roof and siding. Will probably box out around the existing brick insert and wrap with siding. The only chimney treasure I found was an old can of peaches someone had tossed down a cmu and poured cement on top. I need to hire someone to move all that block to the bulkhead for shoring.
Typical upper construction:
Nice view:
Down to the flue:
This chunk here gave me a fit. It was a solid, angled cap that was filled solid underneath. Took me forever to loosen this turd. This one piece easily weighed 150lbs:

The fishing around there is fantastic right from the bank. I'm sure you would enjoy spending some time down there. Maybe we'll get a group together and go fish and enjoy the woods.
