The fence in the back ground the posts are 6x6 in 12 inch holes 54 inches deep back fill with traffic bond gravel and cement wet and compacted every 6 inches as we filled the post holes to the surface, I don’t think they’re gonna move or frost heave , ever!
I tend to build things to last , my Dad taught me, If it’s worth doing, do it right , make it strong , do it once.

I haven't posted in a while but I am the original owner of a 2006 HHR. I have been spending my stay at home time rebuilding the front suspension of my HHR. New sway bar bushings, inner and outer tie rods and sway bar links. Going to clean throttle body today. 180,000 miles on the odometer and still driving daily.
Good to see you still around.

My deck was beyond pressure washing, after 21 years it was time for some lumber! The Camo hidden deck screws and tool worked great, to bad it’ll sit on a shelve .
The Camo tool spaces the deck boards out by 3/16, then guides the screws in the edge of the board, so no exposed screws
I put up a new railing, new 6x6 posts , go big or go home , right , the posts are to match our fence with 6x6 posts and 1 x 6 fence boards, I’ll finish the railing and privacy fence tomorrow
Here’s a shot of our fence same brown wood pressure treated.

Bonez , nice polishing job! Those lights look like new!
DW, it sucks to get furloughed, hopefully things will get back to normal soon!
Sleeper , seems our Dad’s has the same ideals, about teaching us!
My Father would have been 96 today, and he’s been gone 50 years on the 28th , so today , I’ll pick up a coffee and go to the cemetery for a visit and clean up the headstone. He would have loved an HHR, he was enthusiastic about fuel mileage and would be amazed at the twin overhead camshafts.

96 huh. my Dad would have been about 97 (passed Nov 1st 1979). He was 56, His headstone is about 700 miles away. So no visits for a while now.But agree my Dad would have really liked the DOHC engines we have too. He loved his Ford trucks, but his cars were always Chevies. (go figure)..
John- Very Cool, I remember you & your HHR well. Awesome you still have your Year 1 HHR.
