poured a 12'x30' concrete patio yesterday :tup:

next step is to cover the top in flag stone and do my built in natural gas BBQ :yum:

priced out stone today, came out a little cheaper then I was expecting which is always nice :tup:

I think some of you guys need to come do some stuff around the house for me lol.

it can all be done………at a price $$$$ :rofl2:


kind sucks I am spending all my vacation money on my backyard :ugh2:


if only the wife wasn't on maternity leave, this backyard would have more then covered the cost of a BP kit that I want :ugh2:

Not sure if any of you have had concrete work done but whole sh!t they rape you if you have a contractor do it! My pad would have been 4x the cost then what it cost for me and my brother to do it. Sure it might have taken longer as I work throughout the day/week and can only do so much work each night but in <2weeks I had it prepped (tampered the soil, formed up and rebar in place) and ready to go :tup: yesterday was a busy day though with the pour.

now this week I can finally try to piece my Z back together and work on my power windows issue :facepalm:

First oil change on the wife's car today. Two broken (metal) oil filter wrenches, two trips to the auto parts store, and 2 hours later I'm finally done. Stupid Toyota over-torquing the oil filter housing. I'm shocked/relieved that the housing did not break given the amount of torque required to break it loose. I swapped the element and tightened to spec so, fingers crossed, next oil change will be a breeze.

To the average person, they would've just taken it to a shop, but I just love wrenching! :)

Kate and I just cleaned out more than 400 pounds of books from our home library.

1/2 to Goodwill and 1/2 to eBay...

me just running around in circles all day. :ugh:

:icon14:

actually no. :icon17:

motored my G this am, QD'ed just the front end today since i will be pulling her out again tomorrow. :tup: had to do a lot of stuff around the house until early afternoon, ran errands mostly all afternoon... got a lot done today. :D

now relaxing with ice cold water in hand. :p

Yeah, Kate and I ran errands most of the morning. We motored the Juke.

:tup:

typing from my droid to my pc via wifi while looking at the screen in the other room. :icon17:

this is actually pretty cool.

why i just dont type from my droid browser beats the hell out if me... :ugh:

useless things we do... :ugh:

:hello: Back in from the garage. I was able to get some parts back on the car without taking more off. :tup:

:icon17: :shakes head: :tup:

I've got some pics for you ;) Stay tuned...

Always a good thing in your garage :rofl2: :ugh:

:iagree: :facepalm: :icon17:

:excited: Upload them already! :excited:

I'm a dumba$$ and just deleted a nice teaser post... :facepalm:

Sorry.

Upload a pic of you bent over the fender of your car and all will be forgotten.

We turned a 9 hour visit with my buddy and his fiance into a little over 5 hours of wrenching and about 60-70% through the installation of Z1 CSC Elimination Kit. I wouldn't wish this install upon anyone except my worst enemies and someone with better tools (most pointedly, a lift) who just loves doing the work.

We enjoyed a wonderful home cooked lasagna dinner made by my wife. We took plenty of breaks, and the girls did more than their share of day drinking considering they lasted until 10:30 pm.

I"m going to do some clean up around the house, which should leave me with just enough energy to post up some more details and pics of the work before I pass out. We are planning to finish up the work tomorrow morning.

Teaser:

A selfie of that might be kinda hard :icon14:

I'll see what I can do tomorrow for you :tiphat:

reps have been had

night all , busy day at work tomorrow

:hello:

Wow! Haven't seen a single picture of a Work Gnosis CV202 on a 370z, then I did a video search and found ONE video of the wheel, AND it was on a Monterey Blue 370z! :eek:

In this video, I think the fitment is too agressive and I don't care for the step lip, but I like the wheel itself! Watch the second pass when you can see the brushed silver colored set.

Here's a screen shot
