I looked under the front end yesterday...couldn't see anything out of order but the steering rack leaking. Could the thump come from that?

Spent the rest of the day mowing, putting up our awning and playing outside with my son. Great day. The boy loves his jeep and is becoming a good driver!

Today I had to fix the pantry door that mama ripped off the hinges...extreme baking was the cause.

Extreme baking??? :shock:

How are the rack bushings? Could be it

Marlon,
Are we going to have to just show up and move you to the new place ? :wink:

If I had the enclosed trailer up here you'd be more than welcome to borrow it but its 5 hours away.

You can do that!

But I am making... slow... progress. See, look, there's pics to prove it.

Yesterday I sanded massive amounts of rust from my sliders and managed to prime and paint one of them. Stinking rain, a couple more hours and I would've gotten the other one done.
I decided to use Rustoleum hammered finish but it isn't completely black. Will it darken more or is there another shade of black? It's like a very dark charcoal shade. :dizzy:

The cap was black and it was the only black they had. Anybody use this stuff before?
I found out the hard way that Duplicolor acrylic lacquer isn't very good for northeast Ohio, the brine they used on the streets went right through the paint.

Yes it is the shade you described. Yep, same problem down here. Rust came through quick. I blamed poor preparation work.

It probably wasn't the prep. I sanded them to bare metal when they were new, primed with high dollar primer then applied several coats of duplicolor lacquer. They looked great but the brine went right through the paint, or so it seems.

Called Comcast to disconnect the cable service earlier this week. Internet is still working for some reason but cable box unplugged and ready to be returned. Guess I'll just use the web until it doesn't work anymore!

I did the same thing once, they charged me for the time I used the cable after I told them to shut it off. Because of the date, they charged me for another month.

I was going to move about 10 years back and then the deal fell through on the house I was buying. Had already notified the cable company to shut it off first of the month. So that time rolls around, cable still on, another month still on, 11 months later I found another place and moved and it was still on. Never did get a bill

That brine they use is some nasty stuff

Man, ya'll been BUSY!!

Can't say that I've gotten as much done as Tom and Hart but I did get the yard mowed yesterday, put in a new set of bearings on my utility trailer - I use it to haul the lawn tractor to my parents to help Dad out, plus I need it to haul away a tree I'm cutting down, plus get rid of some bushes, trim others, haul grass clippings away...

And even found time to organize my fishing tackle :BANANA:

Using today's rain to help me "rest" :ROTFL:

I need to take it easy on this trailer build.... BUT!!!!
I'm thinking this might have to happen sooner than later.... Just for "Insurance" in case someone hits me...

Thoughts....

You know my thoughts :wink:

I really like it but really it's more for protection when ya take it off road. When smaller utility trailer's get rear ended they usually don't come out of it so well UNLESS they are built out of heavy duty steel tubing. Your egg just may crack up :jester:

All ribbing aside, I like your trailer. :pepper:

Ohhhhhhh, so THAT'S what the big deal is...

No the wall is NOT orange, it's a nasty off-beige... the lamp and camera are making it look orange...

How often should furnace filters be replaced?

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:14 am

Furnance filters?
At least two-three times during the winter, if you have air then every 2-3 months year long
Its like the air filter in your car, cheap to replace and worth it

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:33 am

Now that was weird..............
have never in over 184,000 miles seen my Jeep leave my driveway go up the road
Always wondered what it sounded and looked like :lol:
