    Ask them if factory recommended maintenance includes lifting the vehicle into the ceiling. Fuckers

    I dont. I was going to try and find a place nearby that could do it, if/when I get the skids. Manchester isnt too far from me, so Rich’s spot would be viable, for me at least.

    I have only heard good things from people I know and they apparently are on the cheaper side of things.

    Pop's also has a location in Wethersfield, if that's any closer for you guys. They've been in business a long time. They did some exhaust work on my son's car, very reasonable.

    I don't think I have ever heard a negative comment about this place, everyone always seems satisfied.
    It's always nice when you come across a place like this.

    Chimney rebuild is complete. Just a single flue for our furnace, but what a difference real brick makes.

    Next, the rest of the deck comes down, and I will be rebuilding it. Also have to do some plumbing because our only outside faucet had to be removed with the side deck coming down/being rebuilt. Havent soldered copper in a while, will be good to use those skills again.

    Also, pretty sold on flex seal. We had a leak in our basement from all the rain. That flex seal/flex paste works wonders!

    A have a dehumidifier that a while ago I accidentally dropped the bucked and cracked the crap out of. Bought some of that flex seal stuff, sprayed the bottom of it, and BAM! Good as new.

    That shit is legit.

    Took today off to take the oldest to his annual check up, and do a couple errands.

    Also posted my resume on Monster and Indeed. The wheels have begun to turn. Now we search, and wait.

    I'm in full agreement with this recommendation. They've been around forever and willing to do custom work or repairs other places don't want to be bothered with. I'm six miles from them and have always heard good things from the local modified car crowd.
