Oh why not.....really, I was sure I would be done by Labor Day, but the water heater was ruptured and the toilet was cracked, the Plumbing leaked many places and the mere fact that I have been without work since January made progress slow. I am waiting on the replacement toilet....and If I can find enough work ......found a nice 4 gallon mini tank Bosch Water Heater for 169 brand new......maybe next week?

I called it the "Poop King, LX-2009" ....just for fun.

IT WORKS!

Will post pics of my Poop King!

While the folks put new tires on I disassembled the bearings and was pleasantly surprised...old grease wasn't even caked. Cleaned em and re assembled, headed to the nearest town, transferred title and got some electrical parts...all the lights worked in short order so I drove the 600 miles back the same day. All together 23:30 from Johnson City TN to near State...
