I installed my new interior door handle, new chrome piece around one of the vents and a new auxiliary outlet!

Nice work! Keep an eye on the power adapter, sometimes they can drain the battery.

Today is a day off, enjoy the 24 F degree morning and 50 F afternoon, first day after the Equinox, spring has arrived! I might was the BlackSwan, but then again, I might not.

The shower kit arrived yesterday afternoon, so I’ll be getting ready to install that, we are headed out today to purchase the flooring, wall mirror, paint . I might have time for a walk and a coffee with Sweetie!

I washed mine and then it rained, I did replace a burned out backup lamp bulb. It's got to be one of the easiest bulbs to replace. I ordered a Bowtie/flag front lic plate to go on the front.

Just ordered 4 new All Season Tires, Got the Master craft brand made by Cooper tires, Purchased form Simple Tire again! Should be here in 3 days ! Good reviews $366.00 w.tax not too bad,
My buddy has Master Craft on his truck with good results so will see, :) My Cheapo RADAR Brand tires lasted and I could still get another season out of them , but I want more in a tire then just OK , So will sell them and make 40 or 50$,If not off to the recycle bin
I use Cooper Evolution Winter Tires w/o studs and they do well Maine winters

Just got back from the big box store, spent another $530.00 in flooring, paint light fixtures. Still lotsa room in the budget, pretty much have all the products required to finish the job.

Rich, I had a set of Master craft all season tires in the BlackSwan when I bought it , they weren’t in the best condition, so I put on a set of Ironman Winter snow tires , they have been great for the rain , ice and snow this past winter.



Installed metal studs for bulk head for HVAC

I figured out how to stud the wall for the shower so I don’t have to break the concrete floor up. I ran the PEX lines.

The toilet supply line is installed ready for drywall

The drain is adjusted for height and the sink supply lines are ready for drywall, I still have to wire the lights and GFI receptacle

Steve, your project is looking great :) My big one this year is replacing 10 windows . My 25 y/o windows leak air bad, !
I did not know how bad till I put plastic over them and see the plastic expand like a balloon lol

As for Master Craft tires , My buddy has them on his truck with very good results, These in the Cooper Name on the same 60k warranty tire and ratings are about 15$ a tire more . So worth a shot, My cheapo RADAR Brand lasted a good amount of time !
My Winter Tires are Coopers and man I really like them !
I am getting the HHR KROWN sprayed I maybe next week
. I wonder if it is worth doing a car that 10 Y/o and never done before ?

We did windows last year, well worth it!

the Krown is worth it , especially to keep your HHR rust free!

Today, a ride out for a doctor appointment.
