Had my wife's Jeep in the shop to replace the front axles seals, brakes/rotors, windshield, and a few other items, $1,800 later there was still a list of things totaling about $2,700 they wanted to do. I don't disagree that they were needing done, so I ordered about $500 in parts to do most of them. I'll work on them when our Grandson is down at the farm for a week and have him turn some wrenches. My wife is wanting to give him the Jeep in a few years, so good time for him to start getting familiar with it.
Today is the last day of school for the grandkids. Our oldest granddaughter has a few weeks before starting a summer camp, so taking her back to the farm for a week to hang out with us. I'm also still waiting for the flooring to come in for the new house. I've got two more rooms to remove carpet in, I'm still washing down ceilings and walls, and need to start painting soon.
I'll probably do some picking up in my shop this weekend since my granddaughter wants to do some woodworking projects. I also need to get the garage picked up and organized a bit to get the tractor inside and work on the rockshaft controller arm shaft replacement that snapped off. Seems it is a pretty common issue on the model I have. There was a replacement part number different from the original, so hopefully they have improved the part.
For our anniversary present we bought ourselves a new sliding patio door and had it installed Wednesday. The old one was hard to open despite several roller and track replacements over the years. The new one is smooth as buttah!
