Hope you can get the wagon and title somewhere. Seeing that combo gives me mixed feelings. A young fellow at the hardware store made a key for an older gentleman that walked around with a cane. Very docile. He comes back in the store; I thought his eyes were gonna pop out and veins in his neck explode. "I can't get the key out of the ignition that you just made for me"...the kid goes out and after 5 minutes I go out to see what happened. Well, the kid is red with embarassment and the old fellow is just shooting darts out of his eyes. I say let me try. I notice it's a floor shift, which I think is cool for this old guy to be driving. Get in the car and sure enough, it won't come out. It also doesn't go to lock. So, I put the clutch in, shifter in reverse, push the lock button down, turn the key to lock and out it comes. "How did you do that"? Car owner was a little red at that point and he never did come back in the store. So, mixed feelings about seeing that car...but it would be neat!
 
Sounds and looks good Jim! now to drive in a different direction: those windows look like ours. Are they Andersons and if so do you have "warpage" at the top opposite the hinge side?
Thanks, Bob!

The windows are actually local: Scherer Brothers Lumber out of Arden Hills (NE of Mpls, and NW of St Paul, more or less). When we bought the place that exact sash was miscolored and damaged due to having been shot with a BB, and one pane was broken. The sash was rotted as well, and I was afraid we were going to have to replace the entire window.

But when I called Scherer Brothers they said they could make a new one that would match perfectly. And they did!

We’ll need new windows in other parts of the house in the next two-three years, and I’ve been looking at Andersen, but they’re high pressure sales tactics (they contact us all the time) are a turn-off for us. May just go back to Scherer Brothers.

What i really want to know, did you actually save this picture? Why? I have seen it in this thread several times. Something you aren’t telling us? :lol:
Well Honestly it looks like Mitch's house and driveway in MD. Just sayin. He's been mad at me lately so I didn't want to say.
