There, that's better! All cleaned out and fresh anti-corrosive in the water table.

The cricket is almost done ... will finish it up tomorrow - then sheathing, more felt paper, flashing, etc. and hopefully get this thing shingled tomorrow too. A friend is coming by to help with that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
 ... also found the shifter problem with the Cayman. One of the cable end sockets popped off one of the linkage ball joints. I popped it back on and temporarily secured it with some zip-ties. Will replace the cables at a later date, when I have more 'spare' time.  |

"new" C-125 to go with the C-81 - factory attachments: Rototiller, mower deck & front blade.
I think the 8hp C-81 will go to a home with a smaller yard.  |

Fun with wiring, my new fuse block was installed and a few (3) wires remained flopping in the car.
I had to determine which fuse they go to and re-install. No wonder my directionals and high beam switching didn't work.....?  |

Two projects rolled out of the garage under their own power. First is the family wagon, a 1992 MB 300TE 4matic that pushed its head gasket out caused by the water pump seizing back in October 2011 while my daughter was driving. I stored it first in my shop and brought it home in 2015 when I sold the shop. The replacement engine was already in the car but not plumbed. So, I plumbed the engine, installed rebuilt front axles, new ball joints, brake rotors, changed the transfer case and rebuilt the drive shaft.
Second is the $260 motorcycle that I bought last October. It had sat for 4 years so I got it running on AV gas, changed the carb diaphragms, rebuilt the rear brake and clutch master cylinders, resealed the front forks and replaced the 19 year old tires. It’s not a show piece but I really don’t care.   |

Yesterday, my friend Henry, came by to help, since roofing isn't my forte. The cricket sheathing, sealing & felt paper took longer than planned, but we got it done ... we start on the shingles tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ...

House/garage work looks great
Finally got this off to a place I can finish cleaning and painting the engine bay, going to leave the exterior scruffy but there’s a fresh numbers matching engine in fuel injection system ready to go in once I do the five speed swap.  |

Have the original engine back from a rebuild and the K-pump back from rebuild and a 5 speed ready to go in, engine bay getting painted and then assembly time (will be cosmetically scruffy but want to drive her before exterior paint). Hope you are doing well! |

Took a break on Friday to take care of other biz, so Saturday a couple friends showed up and we knocked out the roof. I'll bet you folks are as happy as I am to have this done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
   Next project: replace some dry-rotted fascia and rework the improperly installed drip edge on my rental house (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)   Don't worry - won't bore y'all with more pix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Tracked down what each wire in the harness went to and labeled each connection. I then mounted the dual relay, resistor pack and a junction for power.
Prior to that I had discovered that I could not get the injectors and runners in the Notchback due to bodywork so I cut out sections, formed new panels and welded them in. I will repaint the areas next.  |
