Thanks, guys! Almost done with moving, and the house is functional.
It's nice not being overloaded with stuff anymore.

Good morning fellas
Quite strange Tom. What I remember about the human anatomy and blood circulation is that the blue veins are moving oxygen starved blood back to the heart and lungs. Red is oxygen rich and on its way to the extremities...
I hope the specialists can help!

Here is the parts truck I picked up this weekend for fixing my old 7.3 up. Runs and drives for 1500 bucks.

Heck its a great deal! The engine and trans are worth more then that. So I will make the 1500 bucks back and have all the parts I need to fix mine. So parts for mine will be free.

It even came with an extra set of aftermarket rims that are in the box. The rims need a good cleaning and polishing but should clean up nice and I can put them on my 6.0 eventually when I need tires next which will probably be next year sometime.

Since you didn't mention how well it ran and drove, I didn't presume that it was perfect. If it's not on its last legs and barely able to be driven, then I agree it was a great deal! Congrats!!!!

We have a kid in town here that has about beat his 7.3 into the ground and I expect it will be on CL before long.
It blows a lot of blue smoke, knocks like an SOG and the tranny slips pretty bad. But if you can look past that, you'd be getting a killer 8" tailpipe - it might be a real steal!

I guess when I said runs and drives that would mean the engine runs and the tranny works. Those two things are worth the 1500 right there. I will be selling those separate so how it drives down the road doesn't matter in this case. Plus I will have the transfer case and axles left over along misc other things when I am done to sell. I only need parts from the cab forward minus the engine.

Oh yeah you will always have those guys around. Sad actually.

Good evening guys. Concrete is in.

One of the crew planning for rain just in case.
One half of the garage.
The basement.
Elevation on the side of the garage is still a couple feet low.
