Crazy indeed. Fully agreed.

Chad seems to know all about these.

Didn’t put any legs on, I think they may need to get longer. Uncertain on placement, squeeze to get around both lifts. Wonder if I should make another leg and have 2 bays? Idk.

Nice to stack a couple things. Moved less than expected with bretts strap and chain box.

It is what it is. It’s either a little out of the way or a little towny but not bad. I can’t do it in 30m, it’s 35.

I’ll be working from home in part for at least a few more months. Great timing on that.

Should get more cars up to snuff. Have a lot of PM and deferred maintenance on everything. I don’t remember the last oil change I did.

40 minute commute eats time is the only update on that yet.

hope to address a lot of deferred maintenance starting tomorrow. will be WFH the end of this week. Have some wrap-up of kitchen/dining room paint, check LF axle in the wagon, fix a grill and fan rattle on the allroad after hitting that dog, eventually everything needs oil changes, look at the plow truck transmission leak and exhaust, put the shelves together for real, maybe find a tub I can put under the engine stand for block cleaning. parts washer and diesel should do nice to flush it out, but I need to catch it. Still need to unload the actual hoe from the trailer. It's going to block parts of the shelves so I need to do things in the right order.

Need to fix my 3 phase too.

It should be a good long weekend.

Under the sink gets small with a unit like this. Tired of waiting minutes for hot water at the sink. The under-sink install is a damn crowd though with the disposal.

Made under the sink bigger.

Everything went smoothly adding outlet. 20a circuit so should be no worried sharing 1440w heater with 7.2a dishwasher and whatever the disposal is.

Dishwasher doesn’t draw through the mini tank. Just the sink.

Need to trim up the expanded floor area at some point, and finish running the blowoff through the floor into the basement.

Glass lined tank, should last. Hopefully good upgrade. Considering whether to put it on a timer to only heat during likely use times but thinking I won’t since I’m sure makeup time on a 120v heater is significant and I’d make the problem I’m solving worse.

Warehouse deal for the unit was just over $100. Less than $40 into install. One hose, GFCI outlet, and shit I had around anyway.
