There's an house just down the street from me that is over a 100 years old. Lady that was living there, once gave me a tour. It was built on a rock or rock pillar foundation. There is noting inside, that is level! Some doors are off as much as 1.5"! The walls, ceilings, & floors all match the contours. It has a steep stairway, to the second floor. It's probably only 30"s wide!Lived in one just like that. Me and my OCD are still in therapy! I lost my mind when I remodeled it. I actually had to warp the new back door so it would close.
SsshhhhhhhhI just realized you guys are like the officially endorsed LEGO rebels, gluing pieces together and such.
For your viewing pleasure
I'm right there with you. I started to replace the wheel bearing in my wife's car today. I made some rookie moves and ended up breaking a piece of the cast off of the knuckle. Guess who hit eBay up and ordered a new knuckle? Le shit.Well that escalated quickly. View attachment 409266
Mine has been “sipping” a bit of coolant but not getting hot or making a milkshake so I’ve known it needed a head gasket. Also been slinging oil that I haven’t been able to pin down. I knew it was coming fomeom the front of the motor and that pissed me off cause I did the from case and timing set not long ago and it had been fine and dry. Found out today why it was slinging oil.

Simple really, I like to build things the right way so they stay together. None of that janky-ass plate perpendicular to a plate peasant who doesn't have the right LEGO BRICKS shit.how the fuck can you be an injuneer and not know that

What is your wife going to put the winch on?Wife was out of town Monday to Friday so I just stacked the packages on the dryer. Then the washer. To be fair, one was mine.

Found a picture of itBuddy of mine was ripping out some concrete with his machine a few years back and we all heard a super loud POP! He stopped and we all looked trying to figure out what it was. He decided maybe it was a piece of rebar letting go in the slab he was yanking on. He went to move the boom and when he curled the arm in, the broken half of a shaft, just like pictured above, popped out. His broke while inside the body of the cylinder. It was wild. To this day, no one has a definitive explanation how it happened. His guess is that he must have dinged the shaft on something and it created a weak spot. He's rough on equipment so that idea checked out for me.
I remember finding one at a garage sale and my grandpa bought it for me I thought I was the Lord of all creation with that thing and then went down in expensive rabbit hole of slot car drag races lol.

OK "Hippie""Lady"
Don't you think that's a little dangerous to say these days?
I’m trying to figure out what engine it had. No VW Bug had a motor that hauled ass…..I saw this nice lady hauling ass down the road with her xmas tree. I had to haul ass to catch her and get this pic...
