The cool thing is that it gives you something to take away from them too..

**Gregski** · 06-25-2015, 03:48 PM

the bed finally going back on, a bit of a bitter sweet as this is the last project in the old house, we really loved that house, it was on a court, it was quiet and all tucked in out of the way, neighbors were great, but don't cry for me Argentina we moved 1/2 a mile away, LOL

**Gregski** · 06-25-2015, 04:00 PM

I could not have put this back together without my 13 year old son's help, he had a great can do attitude as did my 10 year old daughter

so next we propped up the bed floor with some 2x4s and bolted up the back piece that goes by the cab

Chaplain · 06-25-2015, 04:39 PM

Family first. I really appreciate the fact that your kids are involved. I love it when my wife and daughter help me.

Btw, I picked up a gallon of POR15 today.

My wife and I moved four doors up when we got married. We lived side by side then got hitched and made the huge move. Man I got rid of a lot of stuff. Lol.

Get to a good Chiro, do your physical therapy exercises the way he tells you, and lay off lifting the heavy stuff and bending over for extended periods for a while.
If you don't your back will stay angry with you and later it'll get back at you. I'm paying for what I did 35 years ago. I didn't lay off cause it felt so much better after the chiro put it back in place...

Obey...

If you can get working tails and a back plate on it the police aren't likely to bother you on a short daytime trip.

yup gonna see if my bro and friends can limp it home it's only a half mile away, but the bed is still not even bolted down, so as long as they get one or two bolts down to anchor it, it will be fine, I can finish it later

got a shot at the doctor today, and am off of work till July 3rd

rich weyand · 06-26-2015, 09:40 PM

You need a chiropractor, man, not a doctor who gives shots.

Their next move will be to suggest surgery. Don't go there.

**hatzie** · 06-26-2015, 09:49 PM

^^^ Everyone I know that's had surgery has said don't do it. Find a good Chiropractor.

I hear you I called 6 Chiropractors today, some did not answer their phone, others could not see me today / until next month some time, others don't take insurance patients. I don't want to pay cash if I have good insurance, type a thing.
