Rock Auto? I ordered a timing belt for my Neon. They sent me the rubber shield that goes on top of the radiator to the front frame.

Yep

Ehhh doesn’t seem like it. Schedule slipping pretty quickly. Framers want to wait till windows come in(back ordered now till mid November), which pushed the siding guy to back out of doing the siding as he doesn’t work past Nov 1 as he leaves for his second home in Florida. So having to hunt for a new siding guy.

Or hunt for new framers.
Their job is to make the rough opening. The window unit is going to get fitted in with shim stock as needed.

I have a welding job to do this morning so I need to get my butt in gear

 

[Mattax]

oh, no I have just the bolt in connectors for now. just bolted in, I just havent had the chance to make a set of floor hugging ones yet. Probably wont till I get the new shop built. Hard to get the car sat square on an uneven concrete floor its currently sitting on. Plus no lift access at the moment.

Weld in the bold in one when its squared up. Then make a diagonal to the floor that ties in with the triangular brace from the rocker. If you're lucky you'll still be able to slip in the fuel line and maybe the parking brake cable.

Nah, I already have a signed contract with them. There's a penalty clause for both of us if one backs out. Its not that much of a big deal to wait. One: the septic guys should be done by then too so that'll make it easier to frame as they can frame around the plumbing in the floor. 2: there's a lot more siding guys than framers around these parts. 3: its an Amish crew coming up from 90 miles away to do the build. Which is why they want to do everything all at once. They will actually camp out on site for 3-5 days. They dont wanna make the trip twice.

[dukeboy440]

Now heres my next question for you wiser folks, we're going with propane for heat. Trying to decide, a 1200 gallon tank for a once a year fill, or a 600 gallon tank for twice a year?

Which ever you have room for. That's probably not an issue.

I would get the big one. You can follow the market and fill when prices are low.

and now it looks like the weather is going to be quite nice

Larger tank here, heat home and shop. Our supplier has a pre-buy sale and they top off the tank throughout the year

Our asphalt plant up the road a bit used to do that with the fuel for the dryer. Propane in summer when the prices were low, diesel in winter when propane prices rose.
