I feel your pain...we have been doing that for the past year. We have replaced blinds, carpet, tile, countertops, paint, wallpaper b-gone, lights, trim and crown molding, etc. However, since the baby was born, I turned into a major slacker (lack of sleep). I still have a tub and my office to finish. Oh yeah...then there is the yard.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I have an acre out back that needs some TLC, and a shed that needs siding.

At least all my stuff isn't blowing away like canuckledick.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

it's blown down, not away, you $hit-disturber! and it still leaves lotsa work. Hoss, why did you buy this new pad if it needed so much reno??? I guess wife expected it to be as nice as the previous pad= lotsa work for you!! my theory on that is: if you're gonna change it and reno no matter what, you might aswell buy a dump and get some return on your reno investment. no sense in reno-ing something that is already clean and decent, just for the sake of a change in scenery.

I got a 40' refer trailer and a 20' shipping container put on our property this weekend. the 20' is very solid and secure, so that'll make great quad storage. The 40' is gonna be my wood-working shop. Yippee!! now I get to use my 1250sq' gargage for parking, auto repairs, etc...

went on a ride about 2 weeks ago. we're going to Florence, Oregon to the dunes in March (10-18th). so no riding between now and then.

okay, back to the topic for a rare occasion. I have a 7-pin plug at the rear of my PSD for trailer.I need this plug for electric brakes. I also have a camper, but there's no plug for it. I need a plug where you'd normally find one for a 5th wheel. Does Ford pre-wire a connection to the box, or do i have to splice into my exisiting wiring harness? seems to me a 5th wheel wiring should be fairly simple to add.

Most of the house remodel was a change of scenery. We thought about building, but it would have cost me about 450K to build the same house (that's without property). We have dumped about 10K into it so far...so not too much $.

So ned, are you going to add the refer trailer onto the house (you could call it the West Wing).[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I just spliced into my wiring harness for the 5th wheel, and added a plug to the inside of the bed.

Is the lime green Pinto on blocks going to stay in the front yard[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] or are you going to move it out back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


I wish I could put a couple of those trailers in my back yard and get all the cr@p outta the house & garage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

We have 4 or so old 40' refer trailers we use for job trailers. Which works out ok. But anything big REQUIRES a good sized forklift to get it in and out. Our old Lift-All has taken a major cr@p. Won't start. Think a relay went south somewhere. It was a POS when we got it...brakes...who needs those! At least it's a diesel and you can gear down to a crawl. Not my idea of fun: loading onto a trailer. We need a fancy @ss Gradall.

With the weather we are having[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] There should be a feew barns blown over tonight, winds must be gusting to about 50 mph. For us, that's a pretty good wind. Should get a few almond trees to cut up.
