Madwi's picture dump and crap

This project has been on hold for a while now, so it might be time to put a little effort into it. Raspberry Pi and 5" touch screen for the cubby area.

Well, my favorite tree has to come down. We had a storm come through last week and it took a big limb off. One of the main runners cracked so bad I can see light through it. Sucks, gave me really good shade when working on the driveway. Not to mention the awesome yellow and red leaves in the fall.
Tree guys came out yesterday and took down a lot of the upper branches. They are coming back today to finish up. I think I am going to bandsaw up a few of the logs and cure them for a couple of years and turn them into shelves or something

Tree is down and my must do list this weekend just grew, a lot. Will have to split it all and stack it.

Yeah I have to get the wood splitter out of the garage which requires moving your car, which requires me to move a bunch of those logs.

Seems like the easiest thing would be to just set it all on fire where it lays

I was hoping the 7" screen would fit without a lot of modification but that is a no go. Going to have to use the 5" screen and make a bezel for it.

4 day weekend and it was spent working every single day.
I did catch the mayweather fight last night though so that was cool. Today I decided I might as well work in the garage for a bit. Put the bumper on and lined it up as well as I can. Now off to the body shop and they can make it fit as best as possible.

madwi

Added a bunch of pictures that shows the fit and finish from the factory. I fully expect the body shop to be able to make everything line up.
I just love this bumper. Link to album below

I am thinking I might paint the middle section and the small area around the mesh the same as the wheels. Opinions?

Attached garage is getting insulated and drywalled. If anyone heats their garage with either natural gas or electric let me know what you use!

My garage is 20' wide X 22 " deep, insulated, with an insulated 16 foot wide door .I came across a new, in the box, Hot Dawg 45000 btu gas heater by Modine on another forum. Fortunately my gas meter is just behind my garage , so it was just a matter of drilling a hole in the wall & running a line to it , plus the exhaust pipe which was the bulk of the job. The btu rating is overkill for a garage this size , but it was a good deal at the time.In the winter, which is normally damp & mild, I can be in shorts & a T shirt in 7-8 minutes from start up.If I'm washing the car , I'll set it around 60-65 F. Gas use is negligible & doesn't seem to affect my bill. It's about the size of a Canadian 24 of beer. Their website has a good variety of heaters.The garage has been totally cleaned up after this pic was taken.

[QUOTE=Airwilf;3691765]Great information! I was looking at the Hot Dawg units. Thank you for the information!
