Today’s automobile:
Some thoughts for today:
I have fixed or
attempted to fix a lot of things. But
today I tackled one I have never attempted.
I have removed a window unit from the coach had has lost its leak proof
integrity. All three sections are fogged
up.
I couldn’t
sleep this morning (I usually sleep until at least 9AM), so at about 5 AM I
started the job in the basement. Sherry
and Sherece had helped me when I was trying to remove it. Well I was going to
do it myself, but realized it was too heavy for this OLD man. It is only about
60 pounds but the height was bad. I had it loose and was stuck. Just holding it
and thinking. I didn’t want to drop it.
The girls happened to drop by aand helped me. They held it in place until I
could re-secure it and do some thinking.
I finally
figured it out and it was in the basement awaiting me.
I am actually
enjoying myself and I think I have about two more days, that is, if I can get
it back together. The job is bigger than I thought. LOL Lots of jobs like that NOW!
A
replacement window runs about $1300 and if I get it completed I will have spent
about $250.
LOL Wish me luck…
The drivers side window is the one I m repairing. It has two fixed panes and one slider.

Are you sure your name's not really Clark Kent?
So glad you find pleasure in figuring out and completing these projects. Most men (and women) these days would simply ante up the big bucks.
PS - Remember when Rick called the weather "Satan in spandex"? That's the way it feels here in central Bama.
You are very clever and courageous to attempt such jobs. I've never been good at such things. A few years back I had a choice at evening class between self-defence lessons or woodworking. Only places available. I chose woodworking. On the way home one evening I got mugged. I offered to build a shelf for the mugger. He laughed so much that I ran away.
God bless.
Jack, I sure wish you luck on that window. Heck of a difference in the prices. My Teddy used to say, "there's no such thing as a five minute job." Meaning it always led to more work. Blessings, be safe, xoxo, Susie
Does seem like a big project with the window but I bet in a few days you'll be reporting that you have completed it!
betty
It's so nice you aren't afraid to take on that job. You are so handy, I'm sure you'll figure it all out. With prices today, it's nice to save money by doing it yourself. It's nice to to have those sweet helpers. With a little help we can all get by better! Take care and keep cool there. Working in the basement is a great idea!
Like Nick would say “If you want it done right, do it yourself”.
You could pay the big bucks to have it replaced and it could still fog up. I think you are doing a good job.
Keep doing what you can while you can.
