Ugh you don't have glass block either?

I'm starting to believe that ALL of these short sales are caused by the same type of buyer.

"Hey! Look everyone! I got a house!

... 5 years later ...

Hey! Look everyone! I just refinanced my house, I have $60k in cash! Time for cars, vacations, and new furniture, in 6 months I will have nothing to show for it but a higher payment! I'm not going to put a dime in my house! No new windows, no new glass block windows, no new interior enhancements, no new garage door, why when I can have PHUN!!!!

... 6 years later ...

WTF!! I OWE $90,000 ON A HOUSE ONLY WORTH $15,500!!!! I'M MOVING!!!!!!

So they either short sell it or just let it go...

Yeppers sorta what happened here, they got the home for free, refinanced did a ton of stuff they just played with the rest and let all general maintenance go. The basement still has the original windows from 1925 :shock:

I will replace them with glass block that has the vents in them. All the other windows in the home were entirely replaced in 2007 or 8, I don't remember. Kitchen was some what updated, some electrical was updated, some plumbing was updated, bathroom was somewhat updated, newer carpet throughout, new front porch and rear deck and I think that's about it off the top of my head. It's a ton of smaller things I need to bring up to snuff and like I said a ton of changes I will make that make my list a bit long :twisted:

All in all I stole this house and as of right now I could easily flip this place for a $20-30,000 gain but won't, we LOVE it too much. We intend on making it our own and living here for at least 5-10 years or more.

It will be good to get away, flush the mind and introduce ya to the woman that is responsible for this waste of flesh :jester:

Oh and not to mention going to one of my favorite stores :pepper:

Gotta get ya back up there this summer when the flea market is in full swing :rockon:

This will be good :pepper:

On a side note, was out in the garage havin a smoke when I heard a bang and thump out in the front yard then lights in my driveway :shock:

Looked out and saw someone turning around and they smacked my fence nocking down 2 pieces of ties. Well they seen me in full stride coming down the driveway and started to peel away instead of talking to me ( which it wouldn't of been much conversation) when they about backed into the telephone pole in my neighbors yard, they HAD to of been drunk or really scared, I vote for drunk by their driving. So as they peeled their tires off in their get away, they now need a new rear window for their car, oooops :twisted:

My neighbor came out and said it appeared as if I have it under control and wanted to let me know he had my 6 just in case :ROTFL:

ok, front driveshaft question.... how hard to replace and best place to get one. While changing oil I notice the cover over front joint is missing, I can see all the innards and it has some play. I think I may have a good one Mitch gave me, but would have to check, they may be axle shafts.

Just get the head and replace it 65-70 bucks easy to do
www.driveshaftparts.com ME807 part number
takes longer to get the driveshaft out as it does to replace the head

remove driveshaft, pop the end cap off, then you'll see a snap ring on the end of the splined shaft , remove it and slide the new boot/head back on , replace snap ring fill ( oh yes fill with supplied grease) cap just pounds back on
Common issue with older KJs for sure well all Jeep line up with the same setup
At least its fairly cheap to fix :wink:

Hows everything else going by now ?

Hey all!

Been really busy this week traveling from Lorain to Mt. Vernon to Ashtabula to Erie, PA back to Hartville - did three round trips like that this week.

Came home each night this week and did as much as I could on the engine swap project. As cold as it was kinda tough to keep focused on the project even with a garage heater (heater is near ceiling, I was on my back on under the Jeep.) Was going to do the swap at a friend's barn but with all my tools here, my garage's heater and my friend's trailer that I used to move a hoist to my garage it just made sense to do everything here. Getting the Jeep in the garage so I can get the hoist under the front and still have room to work was a challenge - my wife thought I used some kind of lift to wiggle it in there sideways :BANANA:

Hoping I can have the Jeep running by Sunday - just have the bellhousing bolts to remove and motor mount bolts to loosen and the old engine comes out and I turn around and put the new one in.

I'll post some pictures of various stages when I'm done with my shakedown cruise :JEEPIN:
