I`d like to move the shower outlet from the tap to up the wall but that would mean redoing the tube surround that`s something I don`t want to tackle just yet.
Hello Steve, what are your plans today?

Do you start work earlier Steve?
I hope you`re right but I have a feeling that winter is coming whether we like it or not John.

Well I took the panel out for a spin, it would appear all my steering problems are gone. My temporary alignment is pretty good too, let go of the steering wheel and it doesn't wander. It should be really good after I get the alignment done..

You have shorter hrs in the winter Steve?
More good news John, too bad I can`t go for a spin with you.
I hauled two loads of water from the neighbour`s, 1,000 gals hardly made a dent with watering trees in my ''mini forest''.

Exciting day, hauled 2 trips of lowlife back alley trash to the dump today, scaled 2545 kilos, 3 other crews did just under 5000 kilos between them. Glad that tomorrow is the last day

If you've got a vintage panel in your neck of the woods John, you should look at that as a project.

Can't wait until my winter hours finally kick in.

That`s 5,600 lbs Perry. Do you have a hoist on your truck?
I supposed Christmas is a real wild time at the store Steve?
