Dave, looks great. Sure you're not Amish?

Rubber came in. Guess I'll be sporting some shiny stock wheels for a few years .. hopefully they last that long.

Good looking rims. I can never get the offset right, plus = Neg???

Ordered spacers for the Burb to run the H1 wheels. Have two 2.5" already so that gives me a 4.5 BS.

Neg sticks out. Positive is to the inside. Based on centerline.

I gotta say, this is the hardest tile job I've had a hand in. Heavy pieces, and the little ones are 5/16" thinner. I'm really starting to dislike my brother.

Especially useful when installing marble on a crappy concrete floor. The sharp edges are pretty noticable when they're not perfectly even.

Working on the garage shelves again today. It's suppose to be in the 30's so balmy. Would like to get the container emptied and stuff in the shelves. Toss or sell off the other stuff like kids bikes we haven't rode in 5 years.





Used my new little toy to keep everything nice and level. Stabila LAX400. Really like that it is self leveling. I do need a commercial tripod though. I bought an adapter and used a camera tripod which worked but wouldn't outside in rough terrain.



Oh and also took my little kerosene heater apart. Cleaned and put new wick in it. Burn nice a clean now. Was only burning 1/4 of the wick before.



Now just need to get the wife and kid to help unload the container. Hmmm

Changed my mind...on the way.

Put the stock wheels back on today, then spent an hour trying to get the new tpms sensors to synch up.
I gotta say, my first impressions of these Grabbers is pretty good. Very quiet, not mushy like most new deep tread tires, and I hit some deep puddles at 55 and didn't jerk the wheel out of my hands like all the previous tires. Now to see if they last.

Shucks!! I forgot all about that.

It made putting up the shelve easier because I could find the studs. I will finish the shop side but not this side. Ta da. Took too long and I'm tuckered out. Ready to fill with crap. Er valuable garage stuff we haven't touched in 8 years.

Wheels look good, just a little small for my taste.

Garage door opener on the fitz. Had a power outage, then a surge and it works when it wants to now. LM 8500. Have a new control panel on order. They are sending out new ones like warranty/over 5 years old!

I believe it can increase decrease voltage as necessary based on draw to save fuel. Or maybe that’s just the newer ones.

Kick some loads on and see what it does.

My LB7 will sit around 14
