Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Havent touched my truck or mustang in 3 weeks! Ugh ive been so busy and this work week is going to be crazy. Things have to be done and my crawl space has been flooding and water has been getting to the hot water heater..So i started to build retaining walls and doing some cement work. Also replaced the front crawl space door, new 2x4's, a spacer board drilled into the blocks, and door stops to keep the water out
