Sigh. I’m tired. The packing has offiicially began. Today I completed the garage. This was a big job. 2 years worth of crap to be sorted and packed or pitched. 95% of it was pitched. 8 garbage bags, and a whole lotta sweeping later, the garage is ready. Looks like a tire store. But its done.
26 days remain till the house. Shannon and I went and picked out our colours for the garage door, front door and the shutters. We have now made every decision we need to make. At least that we’ve been asked for. Now we just wait for them to put our choices into action. All the painting, the carpeting and tiles need to be done; (very little of ) the front siding needs to be put on; and the landscaping needs to be completed.
I was gonna have my suspension installed this weekend, but alas, with the rain and my need to get moving on the packing, I decided to wait till next weekend. Hopefully I can order and will receive my skid plate before then. More money then I want to put out, but its added insurance and a big protection to the underside of the car. They SHOULD come on the cars stock seeing as the oil pans are so close to the ground. Oh well. Will be sweet when its on. Then the Golf will be done for the year. At least for the big stuff. Might have some small cheap things to do later in the summer, but nothing planned. Next up is to get into the house and to finish the bloody beetle. I’m dying to get her on the road. Sounds like Alex is gonna donate his 1600DP engine to me so with any luck, I will have that in, and the wiring tested before we move. And once we are in, send it to the paint shop and the headliner shop to be finished, and then back home for final assembly and safety tests. I can not wait to hear the thing running again. It’s gonna be fantastic.
Enough from me for today. Zleeepy time. Bugs OUT
