Thats no island, thats a continent!

 

If it doesn't end up with a tap and kegerator I'll be upset.

 

Yeah, one thing big companies seem to fall apart on is meeting the customer where they are on service and repairability. Excellence there will get customers to pay a whole lot more for a product. But big companies really want to go for volume rather than service, it seems. Too much overhead i guess to have a proper support team.

 

Entertainment kitchen!

 

I must be behind the times. I saw a video about FCA discontinuing the Hemi V8 to return to an inline 6. Ok.. Brings back memories of the old slant 6 with those deep ass spark plug wells.

So as a young child, I learned to use an old piece of fuel hose to get plugs started in one of those deep spark plug well engines.

Today I see Kent Bergsma demonstrating the technique in this Mercedes Benz video. I still use a hose to start plugs to this day. Never a problem. Old habits die hard.

My Barracuda is a Slant. Have both style heads. The peanut style head doesn't have those long drool tubes.

 

Right?!

Just more space for more people who's asses I'll kick

It's longer I believe; crazy how big it is.

Drawers underneath too for lots of cabinet space as if the walk-in pantry wasn't enough.

The hallway tripped me out; not only is it long but also wide mainly due to the size of the garage -

So, a blessing in disguise really.

Talking to the superintendent during the walk-through, he said I would need to replace the wiring if I went up to a 240.

He did make an even better suggestion; use the slot dedicated for an electric vehicle and convert as needed.

There is a partition, and dedicated slot for a charging station. Seeing as how neither of us will get an electric vehicle, this makes the spot perfect for a dedicated welding line.

That leaves the other dedicated circuit to a bandsaw, drill, or other power-hungry device.

 

Funny thing is that's such an accepted method they make a spark plug installer that's nothing more than a piece of silicone tube haha
