See whatcha get for leavin'?

When I went out and looked at my other blazer and saw how much frame you actually see, I made the decision right on the spot to go gray.
Even gray will be bright under there, almost chickened out and went back to black.

Consolidating all the swb parts and making sure it's 100% is this weeks focus but next week after the heat gets installed, it's all blazer time.

It's scheduled for this morning. (11th)

Did a quickie insulate & rock job where the furnace will be installed, just picked up two 4x8 sheets of rock & some battens and got em put up in the corner so I won't need to do it later.

Between work, the build & the holidays I'll most likely just burn extra 'pane to keep the heat going, no extra time to finish the insulation/drywall any time soon.

...and you? Did you find the missing barb?

No, but I know it's here somewhere, so thats a start. I'd like to find one in SS or alum. 5/8 barb X 1/2"NPT is a wierd size
