    Thanks for the comments on the truck. It's done- no more mods- it's my work vehicle. Went with chrome wheels instead of black like I see everywhere else. Mama's got plenty of bling just wish I could get her to turn loose of a couple of rocks- wanting to upgrade the exhaust on my 99" WS6 Trans AM- heard Corsa makes some killer titanium systems, just real pricy.

    I travel I-95 from Savannah to Miami at least twice a month and I-75 back to Atlanta- Pray for me. What you do not see on the truck is a set of locomotive air horns tucked neatly where the spare was and the 100 lb. air bottle in the bed-my nephews idea- Clears traffic like you won't believe! Gave a couple of kids gray hair Tuesday when they pulled out onto the interstate in front of me going 30mph- scared the bejeezus out of them- they won't do that again. Tacoma trucks are not good at quickly changing direction at 75 plus- I damn near had a heart attack.

    Hi All:wave:...been a busy week for me. I've been the on-site coordinator for a project at the Clubhouse in our community. The back wall has been leaking and previously "repaired" but still leaked. We are stripping it down and doing it right this time.:D Monday afternoon with stucco off...stone below to follow.

    [​IMG]

    Found some rotted:eek: (from water leakage) spots that will be repaired and instead of stucco and stone the wall is going to be vinyl sided.

    I am sorry. I always turned my head and coughed while typing. MMMMMM that didn't sound right. :(

    :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::rant:
    Took enough drugs to wipe out a buffalo last night.
    Sinus pressure was the worse I have ever had.
    I hope no one gets this.
    3 guys out yesterday. It's relentless.
    Bad news is its my long week so another round tomorrow too.

    Take care everyone.

    Out the door...

    I hope you sneak past it ... mine had me feeling poorly for about a week. The one really bad night (last week Tuesday) I called in to possibly take the night off, but learned we had an unusually busy work load that night; so I went in anyway and just left 3 hrs early after I organized and helped plan all the loads. That was a pretty miserable night, but you do what you have to do. ;)

    :wave: Good Morning Tom.

    x2 on the Project Ken ... looks like a pretty big job to me too.

    Morning Tom:wave:...It looks like a big project, but it is not as bad as we had anticipated. The foreman on the job is a good guy and he is checking everything out and showing me any and all of the problem areas. There was stucco up top and we found most of the damage was behind the faux stone below the stucco. After the damage is repaired it will all be vinyl sided.

    Sorry you're having to work through it too Mike; makes it difficult and I think it always seems to make it last even longer than if you could take the time and sleep throught some of it. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Hang in there brother. :(

    Hope the rest of you sicko's feel better soon... "sprays Lysol on all surfaces - door knobs, counters, handles...."
