    Yep.
    I was more than impressed with my cheap American Tonneau. Thought it would have caved in.

    Good morning CT!
    Hope to have my desk today. Then I can start the process of setting up my displays and cable management.
    That alone should take three days. Still looking on how to use my current monitor stand with my new desk without having the desk here.

    If anyone is looking for a cheap but very well made monitor stand for work or home, I suggest you check out where I bought mine: https://shop.easymountlcd.com/

    When I was in the market for one I did not like spending $350 for a triple stand. I was lucky to have stumbled across this site.

    Tip of the day.
    Save the caps on a new battery so you can use them later on if need be.

    Doing an alternator on a car that had a radiator put in a couple months ago. Looks like they used an air chisel to remove/install the nuts. :annoyed:

    Good morning CT.
    I had my desk delivered to work and was surprised when I saw a smaller box than I was anticipating.
    I thought it was the wrong desk or I was missing a box. I took it home and opened it up to inspect.
    The top frame isn't welded like their other desks I've seen and the top is three pieces. They must do this to save on shipping costs.
    71” x 31.5”

    I assembled the desk last night.

    The list is growing.
    Well I can tell you what was in the bathroom wall. That held the vanity. Sucker came with a few slits in the back wall for the Wilkerson shaving blades. The wall was two feet deep with them. That’s over 6?decades of shaving

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    Have you had one come in with the battery terminal jammed over the plastic cover yet? Took me a minute when it happened to me. I. Wish we had camera phones back then.

    Setting up the display mount for my desk. Had to order a 1" x 2" rectangle steel tube so the clamp has something sturdy to clamp to.
    Ordered on Amazon, should be here next week. I guess I can start planning where my cables are going to be run in the meantime.

    I would but I just bought a piece from Amazon. Had to get a 4 foot length even though I only need about 6".
    Also bought plastic caps to plug the holes in the end.

    For the future. They have a bargain barn that’s mostly smaller sized stuff. My son loves it and buys there often. They sell by the pound.
