Let's start over......
Well I think I'm finally done working outside the house. Last weekend I lengthened the driveway and had a tri axle drop off stone. I made it so if I build a garage in the future I can just continue straight back to where the garage would be without having to do too much.
Last night I put a window well on the basement window, built up around the foundation with top soil about 1' and sloped it to stop the water from coming in and leveled the worst part of the yard out and planted grass.
I'm just going to mow the grass and drink beer the rest of the summer

Well, I jinxed myself -- the drive back from Dallas yesterday was BRUTAL! Huge back-up because of construction on I-45 just south of Corsicana and I sat PARKED in bumper-to-bumper traffic for over an hour.....
I've made up my mind that for the next few years I'm am just not going to take I-45 back to Houston -- I'll take I-35 to Waco an then take Highway 6 into Houston. Even if it is a tad longer, it's just not worth the aggravation of having a 50-50 chance of being stuck in a traffic nightmare while that construction is being done!
I get to turn around and drive right back to Dallas on Monday.....

In the northern climates I wonder if the liners help or hurt corrosion? If they fit snugly, they may keep salt out of rust-prone areas. But if there are any openings or gaps, they could actually allow salt to get into areas where it then becomes trapped and promotes corrosion. They never had them when I lived back in Minnesota, so I'm not sure if they're a good thing or a bad thing.....
The house I grew up in back in Minnesota always got water in the basement during the spring when the snow melted -- don't miss that Shiite.......
Ended up getting the truck! Gave her a $200 deposit and picking it up Monday once I can get to the bank. It was her husbands, she swears it hasn't rolled over in miles and it shows 36k. Ac blows cold, transmission shifts easy, no weird noises what so ever. I'm excited to get it. Plus I feel like I stole it $$ wise.

uses clips on the bottom edge of the bed, and uses screws where the existing holes are for the bottom of the bed plastic protectors
