Yeah! Like NOT! She makes hNeed to lay down a sweet burnout in there and post it!!!
yes I am old (I'm slow too) but I do really nice work!Good job. Took you long enough old man.
So I had a chance to terrorize the motoring masses this morning, took the valdez to the dentist, for work on my teeth not on the valdez, when I returned home walking away from the car the cooling fan came on for a few seconds then off. never done that before, did I leave the ignition on? Of course not. I'm sure it's wired to ignition on and not hot all the time, but then it was a few years ago and I couldn't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday, CRS. Oh yah, I didn't have lunch. Today I did, bratwurst, so while in the kitchen looking out the window that overlooks my backyard domain I noticed the parking lights where on in the valdez! WDF! It's daylight, like noon daylight! Ok no big deal, the headlight switch was in park mode. Then I heard the cooling fan come on again! Damn, what is going on? Turn the switch off, fan turns off, turn park lights on fan cycles on and off with the thermostat, only common between lights and fan is the ground that is in the same place on the radiator support, I think, CRS. I should really take notes when I do things to this car, guess the exxon valdez is say'n he needs some love.
I made him an appointment with the head shade tree mechanic, ME!
Immediate check list:
Whats up with the cooling fan and the park lights
cel comes on after driving a few miles
Annoying thump in the rear on right side when suspension drops, originally thought to be the hatch because the plastic bushing on the striker was gone but replaced that a while back and thump is still there, hoping it is like spare tire/ jack or handle has come loose but I doubt it's that easy, I turned the hooker loose long time ago so I know it's not her, probably the bushing in those lcas that are likely cheap junk because I can't remember where I got them from but I do have a receipt, now where did I put that?
Oh, and that oil leak. Right.
they give you a little card with a date and time to show up, I put it on the fridge, I never forget where the fridge is.Better write down when that appointment is so you don’t forget.
Did you epoxy the floor? Or is it paintedthat's right, now I can get to the storage area in the attic,
I didn't like the way the last bit on the floor is so I need to redo that but the rest is pretty spiffy, Here are some pics.
pay little attention to the off brand pickup in the corner.
Now I can get to work on car/truck stuff
my goal is to drive the exxon valdes to some cruise on the coast so I can follow mike around with a box on my head.
we will see.
What did you use to do so? We just bought a house and closed last week so now I’m eager before we move in to repaint the entire garage which I have never actually painted before but can’t be that hard and epoxy the floor. Was looking at the rustoleum rocksolid kit, cover 2.5 car garage which claims to 20x stronger than epoxy. Reviews are back and forth good and bad. Also looking at this epoxy-coat, surely more expensive but reviews seem to all be good. Not trying to go all out price wise. Rock solid kit is 214 plus I believe I might need to buy a clear coat. Or the epoxy-coat kit which comes out to be 600 delivered. Seen picture of both, a friend of mine did the epoxy coat and honestly they both look good.Epoxy, only the best!

I will have to take pics bc I’m not sure on any of this. It’s our first home, so idk if it’s blocked or wood framed or what that means. The house was built in 1995, I’m not sure if the concrete was treated but I don’t think it was. I’ll send over some pics once I get back over to the house.Used rustoleum epoxy shield from lowes, I think the pic of the box is on page 9 maybe about post #147? Go to thisoldhouse.com (I think that is where it's at) for better instructions on prep/application, the condition of the floor is very important, new concrete is best but you should wait at least 60 days after pour, if it has a trowel finish you need to etch it or it will not stick. I did not use the non slip additive, it will make it hard to clean but it will be slick when wet. And if you get gas or diesel on it don't wipe it up, let it dry naturally then use dish soap and water to clean it.
Block or wood frame?
I thought if you put water down and it bubbled up like it did then it had some sort of sealer or coating on it?Just looks like concrete to me. Lots of cleaning to do!
learned early to proof read my posts but sometimes I still muck it up!Hell, I thought I was reading one of my own posts...No spelling errors, no grammatical errors, nothing for me to bitch about...
I got nothing to say..except...( The thread title)
If the car is talking to you...what did it say, and when was it doing it?
