Well, I decided to pack everything up and sell my car and the KL swap. I just don't have the time with my busy schedule and kids on the way (twins). I'll put up a FS thread soon...

Juuust kidding, I'm moving this weekend. Looking forward to the new garage!

You are too old to have babies anyways

You and your excuses, you'll go out of your way to buy a house AND have kids just because you're afraid of a little electrical work. Get it running already!


Srsly though, triple-congrats Evan!

Always read the last sentence of a post like that first.

Got the P5 all nestled into the new garage. It should be upper 50's Tuesday and Wednesday so I'll unpack everything, get the garage set up and the P5 back on jackstands.

Since I've replaced just about every part on the car, before my friends came over to tow her to the new house, it didn't occur to me that my caster would be out of whack. I put the suspension back together and lowered her onto the wheels and my friends started to push only to see I was running about +800' of caster. Haha! Thankfully just a couple twists with the 13mm and it was straight-ish. The new garage has a level floor so I'll be able to adjust it better before heading to the alignment shop.

But a good push onto the trailer. Over to the new house, a good shove off the trailer. Jack her up for the wheel dollies, spin her around and there she sits. I plan on just having the garage for the P5 (the Milly can sit outside, meh). I'm excited to get to work.

Your car, it's.....it's sideways....

Jokes aside, this exactly the boost you needed to get back into it. Happy for you!

 

[Sport23]

I see good things coming soon!

 

[rally2003]

Get on it. I see there is room to bring my car over and work on it as well

 

[THE Phen]

You better finish this damn thing soon! I know it's killing you to not work on it due to the weather.

 

[Lewis7789]

Still settling into the new house/garage. But really digging it.

Seats will be ordered next weekend. Hoping for warmer weather for more wiring.

 

[Circuit]

That's an awesome garage.

 

[XCLR8TN]

w00t! If you want any help just holler

Looks awesome!

You need one of these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_93043-88644...=1&currentURL=?Ntt=kerosene+heater&facetInfo=

I just picked one up over the weekend and had my non-insulated garage 50-55 on Saturday when it was 25 out and 60-65 yesterday when it was 40ish.

That's where my extension cord reel went!

 

[Lewis7789]

Negro, I've had that reel back when I lived in Dayton for my old band.
edit- maybe it IS yours, I'm just a bad friend/ex-roommate...

Will, I would like a heater in there but the fumes make me loopy. After reading reviews the kerosene ones shouldn't be too bad. I might pick one up with my Lowes moving coupon though, thanks for the link!

You might take a look at propane space heaters too. Less fumes!

 

[Lewis7789]

Phen had a propane space heater (really cheap and worked well) but the fumes were a bit much for me. If propane is supposed to be better than kerosene maybe I'll hold off and heaters and just wait for warmer weather. Too many years working with silicone made me really sensitive to fumes.
