I did, it's now 5 3/4 " under the license plate, up from 3 1/2" . I have 5 " at the front of the running board and where it was before. It's not where I wanted it but lived with it before...

I was hoping around 7 inches under the license plate area just so my floor jack would slide under there . I have to drive it up on blocks so the jack will fit..I might look to see if I can get a lower profile jack that's capable of lifting the front end without blowing a seal..preferably a 3 ton like I have

I`m glad to hear you got your pressure system working Grant. I leave it to a friend of mine too, he always gets gets my plumbing repairs done right the first time.
I`m not sure if I`d want to tackle too many more 12 hr days now Ian.
Yup, this dog park walking trail should be finished by noon tomorrow Steve. Likely we`ll have a small repair to do on another trail to finish up the day.
Sounds like work on your panel is coming along fine John.

Most likely another few wks and my year will be done except for maybe an odd job here and there. Once I quit doing snow removal I have winters off.

I would think snow removal would be a major part of your winter..

Unfortunately most of the winters here are too darn cold and there isn`t always a lot of snow Steve. Some nights when I was doing snow removal it dropped into -40`s, now my old bones just won`t tolerate that any more.

Lately it`s been in the mid 60`s which is prefect for me.

I wound up doing a winter of snow clearing and in Calgary it seems that it only snows in storms and it got to be to hard on my health getting in and out of the storm.
This should be an interesting weekend, don't know what will come of it but there will be something..
