Pretending is skill relearned as you age.
I am so awesome I scare myself

 

Morning. Holiday! And it’s gonna rain. Allllllll day. Looks like I’m gonna get the basement bike shop picked up.

 

Good Morning Stocktown

Dug my oil drain receptacle out of the snowdrift. Get truck oil changed today while it's relatively "warm" and not too windy. Even in heated garage, that concrete floor is cold when it's frigid out.

NOTE: see how much I regret the new skidplate ... guy at the truck shop already warned me to use a jack.

LoL

 

Afternoon.
So this little project turned into a fuckin cluster.
Started to measure and mock up bracing and not one stud was square or even.
I guess they never heard of 16” on center. 8” to 27” seemed to be in the ballpark.
So where I could mount bracing, there were outlets. So had to make 2 braces really
Unlike the others. So much for mass production.
Got the cheapest wood I could find cause it’s in the furnace room. Rough cut



And of course if I don’t give OCD @FlyingWolfe this picture, she will never sleep for a week.



LOL…

Do now we can arrange things as we throw this spring..

 

That bubble is a little more to the left than the right.

pretty dam good when your aligning on 3 axis with 2 leveling bubbles and a t square.. lol
And rough cut uneven wood

 

Rough cut not square wood? Never! It's only the highest grade perfectly straight sticks of timber you can buy!

 

Well you get your ass over here and see if you have enough screws in your truck to straighten it out.

 

Nothin a couple 1/2" lags with 1" washers won't fix.

 

By the time you’re done, there won’t be any room to put shit..

 

So, dropping and reinstalling the new skid plate added about an hour to the oil change process ... 30 mins of that was first time figuring it out ... probably only an extra 20-30 mins next time ... verdict: NO regrets. The protection is worth it.

 

And we didn’t get any extra time to do the oil change with a skid plate.
And people wonder why shit went bad..

 

Theres no trap door in that thing?
