Fixing brake warning sensors on 79 928. PO bypassed brake pad warning sensors and it turned out to be a bad connection.
@JeffBowlsby Jeff do you have a main harness to brake warning sensor plug? Attached image(s) |

The cricket is almost done ... Mark - couple of quick questions. Speaking from the otherside of the pond where 'cricket' is either a sport or an insect, I'm intrigued by the fact that this elegant bit of woodwork has the same name. Any idea why ? Or is is it 'just one of those things' ? And what's it's purpose - would the rainwater not drain off just as well without it ? Is it purely aesthetic ? Thanks, Andrew. |

Lockdown is over in PA. I finally got to hang with my 2 year old grandson and we both got haircuts.

Been using the time to do all those little jobs you put off, like cleaning up under the hood of the Renault R4... Unrestored and zero rust.

Lockdown is over in PA. I finally got to hang with my 2 year old grandson and we both got haircuts. I heard that. Finally got my "ears lowered" and my "face mowed" last Thursday. I felt almost human again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Google provides no info on how it was named. The new gable roof tied into the adjacent existing gable roof creating what's known as a dead valley at the the apex where water would pool. I've always heard them called crickets, but apparently they're called saddles in some areas. I call it 'Jiminy Cricket' ... it's like having an umbrella (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Things locally are starting to open back up (Phase 2), but still working from home and even being furloughed a few days a month. Still, more time to keep working on the hangar/home.
Got this done this week, 15ft ceilings at the tallest. Could not have done this without scaffolds. Stuff on the left is the Type X fire rated which is thicker and heavy! Attached thumbnail(s) |

I don't have nearly the amount of drywalling to do on my project, but still dreading doing the ceiling. Years ago, a helper lost grip and dropped a full sheet of type-X 5/8" on my head, crunching my neck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

We rented a drywall hoist/jack from HomeDepot for the day. |

No shit, Eddy ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Well, installed a second window in the breezeway and continued with some tedious trim work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) ... Also, changed the oil and repainted the fenders on the little mini-50 pit bike ... taking it camping next week ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biker.gif) |

Max and I extended the go-kart track today, took out the dangerous curve where we had flipped the kart twice, the last time on my leg! New track works great, and Max managed to get on top of the hay bales!

That's cool.
How much more space do you have to extend the track even further? ... and put some right hand turns in it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I've taken it as far down the hill as I can, and I can't go much higher because the hill gets very steep. I plan to do more inner cross-overs once my son gets better, he just soloed about a month ago so we're still getting the hang of it. I ordered a 2nd kart which should be here in a couple of weeks, then the real fun begins!!! |
