I think the high today is 57 and tomorrow in the 70s. I have some backyard projects to do today. Our vegetable garden is boxed in with timbers and is 33 (ish) ft front and back and 3 and 1/2 ft deep. The wife decided that she wants a proper fence to keep the rabbits out instead of the chicken wire that has been hastily installed. When she told me that she wanted a fence I advised her that it would take me 8 hours and about $250 to do it the right way. She scoffed. She never believes anything I tell her as far as construction or costs or materials. Of course, she's wrong. She ended up finding some metal decorative fence pieces at Aldi of all places. They are three ft sections so I went and bought 26 of them at $8 a piece. That unfortunately leaves the corners open. I did a little brainstorming and I'm going to use some brake line and bend it up, weld it, and spray it black to match. I think it will look good once done. When I told her that she asked me why I was making so much work for myself! Ugh. Can't win. After that I'm taking her car to my buddy's shop. I'm doing a little job on his LS firebird and then we're putting the Rogue up on the rack for control arms, struts, and tie rod ends. The never ending saga. Marcus, the rims look great. I like those better than the original. But that carbon lip would last about 3 days on Chicago roads. Hope everyone has a great day! |
