Waxed the Hummer and the Caddy, cleaned the inside of the Suburban. Replaced the cheap Amazon ballast for the headlight on the Caddy. The cheap one burnt up in less than a week, got one with a lifetime warranty now. Got the broken piece out of the pool pump. I am tired.

Glad that it's raining again, I was afraid my mud would dry up!

I ordered the oil pan gasket for the caddy today, everyone on the Caddy forum seems to think that is my issue and not the rear main.

Hump day is here!
I finally got caught up at work yesterday. Since it was not raining I got the mower shipping flats inventoried and input into the system so the shipping company can pick them up. Even with the rain we have picked up in business.The oil pan gasket should arrive today for the Caddy and I hope to install it tomorrow at work. I hope it turns out to be the pan gasket and not the rear main, I really don't want to drop the transmission. Going to order the 2 solenoids for the dodge transmission and get it shifting right again.

You are really kicking it on home reno.
Going to replace the last plug and wire on the Caddy today. The back passenger side plug is the worst, little to no room and I am sure the plug wire is welded onto the plug like the rest were. I put a can of seafoam in the fuel this morning and going to clean the throttle body too. After the pan gasket I am going to replace the water pump and belts. Sometime this summer I will get new tires and front shocks. I do not want any problems on the highway when we drive down for our cruise.

Found a webcam that shows Port Canaveral where we will be sailing from: https://www.portcanaveralwebcam.com/ . They have a bunch of webcams you can watch. On Monday I watched the boat we will we sailing on leave port. It is now at the dock in Nassau. I am really looking forward to this cruise.

Finished the master bath floor.



May get the subfloor down in the other bath, but have to be in Dublin at 3 to get my CPAP.
Ordered lug nuts for the dump truck. only 20 will be in today. plan on going up tomorrow and hopefully get it started and at least the front tires swapped over I may wait and leave after the mail runs although that would make after lunch before I got up there.

thank you. Did not pull the toilet or vanity in that one. Pulling both in other bath room. There is rot to the particle board subfloor. Debra got most of the strips off the walls so we can calk the seams before we work on them. She agreed with me that one we get the this phase done as far as we can go we are stopping for a while and get back to work on the shop and getting the yard back in shape. This is her first live in remodel. She did not realize what all is involved. We are going much deep than putting paint on the wall. At least we agree on the look we want Rustic / farmhouse. She is getting more comfortable being more country than city.

I fixed the pool pump yesterday and no water leaking anywhere!
I put the oil pan gasket on the Caddy today, it was not real fun. I am almost positive that was the oil leakage and not the rear main. I am worn out now.
