I got my new LED loading lights in yesterday for the motorhome. One got mangled when the tire blew last year. I have had a new kitchen faucet I need to install but so far have never gotten around too. The tire tools should arrive on Wednesday. The boss said I can drive the motorhome into work on Friday and we can put the new tires on then if I want too. Thinking of ordering some tire covers to help reduce the sun damage, sure don't want to be buying another set of those tires for several years.
I got some rubbing compound yesterday so I can buff the hub caps on the motorhome, they are looking a little dingy.
Yep those truck tire are pricey. Tire covers are good for long term. We are going up to see mom today or tommorow and talk about this place. She alreday said she want to put in in mine and her names nned to see if she will do just my name. Lot of work to do before we will have it ready to sell. We have a lot of milling todo before we can sell the mill. Need to bring the side by side home and wash and wax it before we put it up for sale. Need to bring everything home before we sell the land. as far as the dumptruck if I do nothing to it will sell for 2500. If I fix the brakes and put the floor in the bed at least 3500.
Washed the roof, the drivers side and the front and back of the motorhome today. I got the passenger side to do sometime this week to finish it up, it was pretty dirty so it taking me a while. I also did a quick clean of the inside the motorhome this morning while the wife was sleeping, it wasn't too bad so it took me almost no time. Going to wait to sanitize the water tank and lines till after we install the new tires. While I have it at the shop I am going to grease the suspension too.
My arms hurt so bad this morning, it's mainly my elbows from all that scrubbing yesterday.
Ordered new wiper blades for the motorhome, the old ones are really worn out.
Still waiting on the tire tools to arrive so not sure if we can do the tires tomorrow. I am also waiting for the new spring for the canopy too. Might delay doing both till next weekend since I'm supposed to work anyway.
Decided to purge the water line antifreeze out of the motorhome yesterday evening. At first I wasn't getting any pressure inside the motorhome, had me worried for a few minutes. Now need some bleach to sanitize the tank.
Tire tools came in yesterday but doing the tires next Saturday. Wiper blades should be in today and the new canopy spring on Wednesday.
I noticed the coolant was slowly going down in the overflow tank on the motorhome. I crawled under the engine this morning and found a small leak on a heater hose. Bad part is I had to take the alternator out to get to tighten the clamp. Going to go thru and check all the clamps just as a precaution.

Repaired the fuel filler hose that got ripped of when the tire blew apart. It was a real pain but glad it's finally fixed. I also installed the new wiper blades. The new spring for the awning should arrive today.
The new awning spring came in the other day, I also got a new fuel strainer bowl in for the Ford tractor. We tried new seals on the old one and still could not get it to stop leaking fuel. My daily driver started getting a small miss, check engine finally came on. Misfire on cylinder 4, I ordered a new set of plugs, not sure if any the mon in-law had a tune up done.
TGIF !!
I got a load of asphalt millings laid down in my driveway yesterday, I need more but I had to start doing something because it was getting pretty rough.
The tech that was going to help me do the tires on the motorhome fractured his finger today at work. I spent 6 hours with him at the emergency room. No tire install tomorrow but it's not urgent so not a big deal, I'm just glad he didn't lose half his finger.
Fixed 2 tractors today at work and put some tires on a skid steer.
Came home and fixed the Ford tractor and got it running again. Also mowed some grass before it started to rain.
Wow, you have been busy. Sorry have not responded but have been busy down here. We got back home on the 10th. It has been whirlwind every since. Got the final milling done for here. We are going to have to buy some lumber to finish ran out of cut logs. We got all our stuff off the land . Took 3 trips the front yard has stuff everywhere My neighbor out there took over payments on the side by side. The small trailer is made sold, my pastor wants to buy it for the church, but it takes deacon approval. Had a man come by last night and look at everything. He wants the dump truck . The only thing he does not want is the big trailer is too small for him. Waiting to hear his counter offer. We have found a floorplan we both like. We have found 6 acres, we only want 1 or 2 but they were all over 50 k for 1. This track we like it, like the price 42000 it about an hour and a half to the kids and 25 minutes to Possum Kingdom lake. The drawback is water. We will have to use a cistern/tank system (rainwater / buy water). There is no water out there. I have to call Monday and get a cost on a system.
I have 2 10 lug unimount 22.5 wheels if you want them you have to come get them.
Sounds like you have been busy too. It also looks like you are kicking into high gear trying to get out of Georgia. You know I never seem to catch a break or get to slow down. There is always something I need to do.
I am going to try and install the other 3 LED docking lights on the motorhome this morning while everyone is sleeping. I might try to install the new spring for the awning today. The wife is talking about trying to take her sister and kids floating down the creek early before the afternoon showers arrive. If we do that then I won't get much done around here.
Love the cabin! I thought about doing the same look on the outside of our house. Too much wood on the inside for me though.
I appreciate the offer for the rims but I am thinking of changing the front rims to polished aluminum ones, they are not as pricey as I thought they would be.
