I had moved good bit of stuff before I took the picture, you couldn't really walk between the workbench and the mustang before.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Changing oil & filter in our Generac for the first time. Total of nine hours run time since it was installed about 14 months ago. Time to replace the break-in oil with fresh synthetic 5W-30.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We had one when I was a teenager in VA. The hurricanes and winter storms would come thru and wreak havoc on the mountains from time to time, 2 weeks without power wasn’t that unheard of. Ours definitely got used, very nice to have when you need it.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So far, so good, Dale! We've only had a few short outages and one late night planned maintenance outage of about 4 hours or so. Peace of mind has been well worth the outlay in cash & labor. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Daughter asked me to build her a stand to hang her coffee mugs on at her house. Installed two new LED security lights on the back of the house.
Wife and I sprayed the lawn. Getting ready for grass growing as crazy as it sounds.

Heat in the Winter, and A/C in the Summer. I've just been organizing my shop lately. Went through a bunch of boxed up stuff since moving in 2018 and made some more floor space. Got my reloading desk setup for the 1st time since moving into the new house/shop in 2018, and man do I have a bunch of primers...LOL Got my Dell Server rack moved and installed my Dell R710 Server in the rack and getting ready to install another 64 GB of RAM memory in it, and install a fresh image of 2019 Server Standard on it and make it a Web Server. I figured I might as well start hosting some websites and make some side money. I've finally got all my parts needed to totally rebuild my 70 Chevelle 402 that's going into my 72 Monte Carlo. The engine in it right now is a complete rebuilt 396 SBC Stroker motor with only break in time and a 1/2 mile of driving from my buddy's shop to my shop, so it's going into the 72 Chevy Cheyenne 4x4 pickup.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm hiring my young neighbor and he/we are chopping up a huge non functional hot tub to get it out of the room through a sliding patio door. Turns out they stuffed all sorts of foam scrap around it and then apparently sprayed in a bunch of liquid foam to hold it all in place. What a mess!
Also, the floor joists were all rotted out around the back of the hot tub, so it's a good thing I decided to finally tackle this project after 18 years. We already tried to get it fixed but they don't make parts for it anymore and nobody would touch it - "oh, you can buy a new one cheaper than fixing it" but how the hell would you get it out and another one in ????? ![]() We're just going to build a new floor in the room and use it for - I don't know yet - maybe a guest bedroom or move my reloading stuff in there from the garage ...?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I use a 68k BTU propane heater, but below 40 I'm not usually out there.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Took out a propane furnace out, just cost too much for propane. Just put this used oil furnace in a month ago, love it.

And in the process of cleaning up we discovered that nearly all of the floor supports were all rotted out so instead of just filling a hole with 2x6 decking, the porch room is going to be getting an entirely new floor: all new joists and 4x8 subfloor. Also need to figure out how to mitigate the moisture problem ...
