Enjoy!!

Damn, That's a lot of reading. I'm looking forward to that build but like I've said, it'll have to wait a bit. I've waited this long, a little more won't hurt.
As an example, last week I cleaned out some garage space and got the truck parked in there so I can start working on pulling out the old engine. Haven't touched it since other than to set the new fuel pump on the bed rail.
Instead, Saturday morning I got the holes drilled in my yard to set footing blocks in for my new porch. Not Porche, porch. The weather was good, I had the materials on hand and the wife didn't want open holes around the house waiting to gobble up her critters like baby Jessica in the well, so I spent the entire weekend playing carpenter.
54' across the front, 8' deep there and 19" deep on the left side. I ordered trusses last night. It's going to be awesome!
