Was supposed to rain today so did not much but mess with the vehicles. Fluid- safety checks, air in tires, changed a couple blown fuses, fixed a rubbed wire that caused one blown fuse. Tossed a phone charger in the other vehicle that caused the other fuse to blow. Changed that fuse again.
Replaced a chunk of vaccume line. 1turn signal bulb. Had to be in the rear of the Escape, so pain on the butt.
Pressure washed both of them, vacuumed the floors. Rain ex on all windows. Changed oil in the F250. Sprayed used oil in the Escapes rear wheel wells, and select areas under the F250.
Took both to top the gas off in all tanks so it is $4.75 now. Plus I had a 6 cent off per gallon credit on 20 Gallon of it. Still did 35 Gallon between both vehicles
Yesterday, went and got a new paneling- plywood, blade for the circular saw. A couple spare screw bits, and 2 gallons of Glidden indoor outdoor semi gloss. Could have just got 5 gallon of flat red barn paint for half the cost of 2 Gallon of the Glidden stuff .... But had to get it in the wife's favorite shade of blue in her preferred semi gloss. To match the future paint job on the Trailer. Ye hmmm.
Did manage to cut all my , right and left, siding boards for the barn yesterday to height, Then paint them on the edges, and around the back edge, about a foot wide stripe. Stacked those in side the "tent shed" to keep them dry.
Going to be sunny all week and supposed to rain off and on, all next weekend.So figure take an hour a day and put one or two up every day before work. Paint as I go.
Then next weekend I can work under the lean too a bit, cut the front lower siding to fit, paint the edges of those and maybe work on building the door. least that is a plan.
