Nope, you would be out of job by then….

 

Yes, I know need to update

 

You're good. I just wanted to follow...

 

Well was out here to the cabin about a month ago to just get sick and not much of anything was done except needing to unload the trailer. Made it back out yesterday and the rains out here sure have played hell on the roads, just getting to the cabin was a trail ride lol.

 

Raining now, guess it will be an inside day of things to get done.

 

I always love it when it rains in the desert

 

Yep, was just standing outside listening to it all.

 

Ive been lucky to be in big bend ranch state park when the desert was blooming and it was something special

 

I saw a pic of it out there just the other day, looked amazing since they had all this rain.

 

Nice to see water in the canyon area

 

Well no real order on what got done but can show pics of what was done while we were out there but the first pic the wife was able to get this side painted this time around. We installed this siding last fall, hard to believe things have gone by this quickly. I was also able to replace the soffit area as it was in bad shape.

New soffit installed

 

Next was the kids room and the back side of the cabin, was able to remove all the siding, get the vapor barrier up along with windows and a couple pieces back on in one day....long day.



As you can tell the wife was chasing me with the paint brush, she was determined this time around to get it done as soon as the siding went on.

 

Here is the outside view as it sits now, lots of trim left to install but need to get the soffit on this side done along with the other side. It is in much better shape but something that I want to get done so it is less of an issue.

 

Was able to install some sheetrock that we had out there as well, need to make the wife happy. She also took some decorations out with her....

 

Boarder patrol also has a new toy since we were last out there....

 

With all the rains out there is sure has played hell on the roads, it was always bumpy but its above and beyond that now. The lower canyon road was even worse when we drove out yesterday since we made a trip to town on Friday.

 

About a month ago I finally got around to doing the lift on the PU, not much difference in all from how the Tacoma was set up except the front where it locks into the hub. I did find another video that showed just dropping the LCA which allowed me to work around that issue.

Went with the Eibach setup for the PU this time around, added add a leaf to the rear and also SPC UCA's.

 

Got to use the spring compressor for this install, and also was able to install a serviceable rear end on this as well.
