What’s your quarantine project?

Victorian houses are a great design. I wanted one but ended up with a gambrel roof farm house.

 

Vinyl wrapped the wifeys Iroc, did some maintenance on my 91 Turbo Z28 and winch bar for the Taco.

 

Still an IROC fan to this day

 

Yep, good eye.

 

Tacoma projects planned since Spring 2019 (apparently it took CV19 to bring some of them into action)

Sweet rides! Love how clean they are.

 

I had a lot during my 7 week furlough...

Built a shed


Re-built my garage workshop


Built a toy box for my grandson


Sodded the front yard


Put in a cobble stone walkway


Maxtrac spindle lift on my truck


Plus a few more projects, like I stalling a security camera system, refinishing the deck, and planting some trees.

I'm glad to be back to work so I can get some rest lol

 

You are one busy guy

 

Thanks, i've been restoring the Iroc for the past year trying to get it back to its former glory. Almost done!

 

That's awesome. I've got a 97 cobra I'd love to get all straight and clean with a simple SC set up for a nice little ride that can keep up with the new muscle. I'm too poor to buy a real old iron muscle car so I work with what I got. How much power does your turbo'd z28 put down. Always loved that body style ever since that's what Patrick Swayse drove in the movie "Next of Kin"

 

Didn't read the whole thread....

Where'd you get the Utility Panel? Did you post pics?

 

I've got an old Victorian.. The thought is good to keep as a thought. We feel like caretakers and obligated to right all the wrongs that were done to it since 1890 or so when it was built. Lotsa time, money and effort put into it knowing we'll never make it back. But then again after all this COVID crap, we might just ride it out here until we're no longer kicking..

 

I had my eye on one that was about 120 years old in Sidney Nova Scotia. It was going for 9000 USD. It was a mess and the basement was now an indoor swimming pool. I estimated about 130k in rehab. The only reason I didn’t get it was someone else grabbed it.

 

At a "conservative" 12lbs of boost its putting down around 600rwhp. It'll probably make 1000rwhp if I turn it up to 20psi and e85 but it's fun enough where it's at now. Not trying to peel my face off

 

Brewed and drank beer, lots and lots of beer

 

Update

 

Yah, you never own them, they own you! I got lucky, put way to much in it, but luckily the price of houses went through the roof, so we made a prophet. If the quarantine hadn't hit, would have probably made $20,000 or more above what we got. Oh well, on word and up word!

 

Funny, I have a peace of land in the oldest part of town, and I am looking to see if I can build a Gambrel roof Barndominium! So I can live above my tools and toys.

 

New through the wall ac installed. I hate these damn things. Small issues and such but I got it done at the end of the afternoon. Got to go to a friend's cookout and come back to a cool house. 65 f for the first time in the living room is pretty awesome.
Hell yeah!!!

 

So it’s hotter indoors than outdoors?
