The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIX

old guy · 08-23-2018, 09:35 PM

So today, I took the Z to the quarter car wash got home put it in the barn did a quick spray wax & tire shine, looking great!
Took a shower got ready for work, leaving on time, went to open the barn door & only opened 2ft.

tried again

looked up & sure enough, a broken spring

I undid the lift mechanism, lifted the door by hand from the center, walked with the door lifted over my head, hand over hand to the side, shoved a screw driver in the track, backed out the Z went to lower it & ( drum roll ) it won't go down all the way

the cable on the roller jumped & tangled

untangled it, lowered it
Got in the Z drenched with sweat, beat it to work and was only 10 min.late

Replacing both springs tomorrow

On the positive side, at least the door didn't fall on the Z.

When it rains, it snows with hail mixed in.

You get wet, then you get cold, then you get beat up.
