Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Weekend over.

My weekend carries on though.

Progress is slow, painful but it is constant.

The main part of the garage is cleared, except for all the parts of the C10. Load bed, tailgate interior parts etc. stuff in tubs all marked meticulously 9 years ago. Not meaning a thing now.

The next part is the right half of the garage.
The L-Shape part you never see.

Today is a jackpot day for every
Pathetic nosey zoomer who loves to read the original description on the side of boxes and forensically examine my **** in order to criticise or judge. Yes this sounds really harsh but every one who does not resemble that remark is safe. The rest, zoom away.
It will be like putting out a 5000 piece puzzle on the dining room table on boxing day, with the objective of completing it by New Year.
I admittedly have a ton of trash. All mine. All my responsibility. All my problem.

So this week…..

I have to go through the shelves one at a time to try separate active C10 build parts from random fanciful stuff and then also outright junk which I may have some of.

Not much to sell here this time, but I will carry on with cleaning and clearing out unnecessary bulk.

After all, who needs six packs of brand new valve caps.

As always, any distracting visits are appreciated and encouraged so I can drink my umpteenth mug of coffee and contemplate what shelf next.
There is also a loft with stuff…… yup.

So for the ZOOOOMERS !!

YOUR PARTY STARTS HERE.


Regular visitors will know just how much has changed in this photo already.



Which leaves us here on Sunday afternoon.

The area to the left was already sorted, tidied, swept and moved around.

This lot has not.







And the rear of the garage, foot of the inverted L has more junk and truck parts. Zoooom away stalkers.

Then there is upstairs as well.







Some yard work yesterday included cleaning and repairing the shed roofs.
These sheds contain more more big tools like engine hoists, stands etc. small she is filled with firewood. Not used this year as not cold enough.



By 3.30 yesterday I had decided that I wanted to close shop, shower and head out to go play ball with Bonnie. Much nicer than rummaging and having pointless conversations with potential buyers about items that are £200-£500 new and listed for £20 collected, who then want to argue about £2 difference between post office and courier. Expecting me to do the packing, courier registration, payment and drive 3 miles to the village to drop off and then return home. Idiots abound.

I sat in the shop on my John Deere stool for about 20 minutes, just enjoying the silence and space around me.

Feeling the truck looking over my shoulder at the incoming weather.

A moment of peace.

Caused by: Touch it. Feel it. See it. Move it. All being progress.



Incoming weather passed me by in the end.



Last look at the truck before I set the alarm etc and closed shop to walk away.




Life is good.

Sometimes we just need to zoom out a bit and see the bigger picture.
