So with how much I have been driving the truck this year. My music situation was getting annoying (plug headphone jack into phone, turn on amp, select music and adjust). So I went out and got a sweet deck, no CD. It is half the depth of a regular deck. The amp now powers a 10" sub behind the seat and I mounted the deck in the back of the glove box. Works and sounds great. :metal:

Today I finally got to installing the door to floor wind lance. That will stop the one draft I have in the truck. I had them for about a year but I misplaced the steel keepers.

I've been debating on a stereo setup. Looks like a decent solution.

Ya well I have tried over and over, I still cant work with wood. Having someone build it will get it built so much faster. COE sure I would love to take it home and work on it!! Wait are you giving it to me? ;)

Today was a lot of back and forth with the skid steer, with the occasional tamping. 8 of these bins of top soil out and there will be 10-12 tri-axle of A-gravel in to get grade. They have to go a long way through my garage. They should be done filling and packing by the end of today.

You're gonna feel like you died and gone to heaven. Shop looks fun.
Starting to frame my "Shed" last week, looking forward to see how you install the radiant heating system. Mines hydronic with 1/2 inch red pex, on 12" centers.

Keep on keepin on
