all my cars are sleeping. the garage is in winter mode, which is 4 cars in a three car garage. but harbor freight had the skates on sale this summer so i picked them up, makes turning the firebird sideways a ton easier.
mostly have been working inside since its been cold and rainy, i got an antique fireplace from my parents, that belonged to my grandfather, they used it till a couple years ago and moved into the small house. i gathered some chimney stuff when i saw it on craigslist, but when i went to the town the inspector wouldnt let me use any stove that has no downloadable specs that she can verify. so i bought a newer stove and put that up, she is supposed to be looking at it tomorrow.

You check with the town inspector before doing residential repairs and upgrades.... very honorable.
they are pretty serious these days with the insurance and i am going to send the permit and inspection to the ins co, dont want to be in trouble if something happens to the house. they take every possible out these days.

Funny you mention that; we recently sold a house and one of the legal documents we had to sign is that we pulled a permit for any work done that required a permit.

We took delivery on 2 new propane powered trucks at work this week. They are a GM 6.0 with a propane fuel rail and injectors where the normal gas injectors would go. Wondering what will wear out first.
Propane= Reliability? & You may think you are saving now now...but..You Will pay later in repairs.
I suppose you still have to build the engines with hardened seats right?

Hey guys. Long time no talk haha. Been away from the forums for a while, had a few issues to straighten up and get things back on track. First off is a "new" laptop, as mine crashed completely a couple weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to look around the place since I've been gone, saw this thread pop up and figured I'd check in

Yeah I know propane is hard on the top end since the valve guides don't get the proper lubercation you get with gas. But hey it'* job security right?
