Well we had a severe cold snap here last week. I was out of town for a meeting. I told my 16yr old to park his Jeep in the heated shop so it would start in the morning for school. BAD IDEA! I should have provided detailed instructions. So he drives this snow and salt covered beast into the shop. It drips salt laddened slush all over the floor. The crap runs under everything. Then the boy pulls out of the garage, squeeges SOME of the salt water out the door and splashes the stuff all over everything including one of the seats from the 914. Then to make things even worse, he springs the 16' door somehow and bends the vertical track. The door was stuck open until I could get home the next day and fix it. No easy task! Hey the boy is 16. I can't say I would have been able to figure out how to release the torsion springs and lower the doorwhen I was his age. So whatever! I spend the whole day yesterday fixing the door and cleaning the shop So I could get back on the project. Well the heat ran full tilt for hours bringing the slab back up to temp. And to make matters worse I went out to finally play with the car this morning and discovered I ran out of propane! The shop is now cold and dark. Winter sux!
