I don't know what can be done Mike -- so I'll get into it when I get over there and I can talk directly to the people. Going thru my builder -- who is a builder but not a shop guy -- and not going direct - just creates problems. So it's a "I'll do it myself (as far as discussions go)".

When I did my floor I washed it with acid and it was a new floor.
I'd wash and power scrub the floor and acid wash it. Then apply a clear concrete sealer, just to keep the dust down, not to make it look better.

I didn't hear anything about a shooting in Yakima so I imagine you made it out alright. :bigun2:

Looking forward to some better then contractor pictures on how it turned out.

Funny thing about BAD people -- they don't really hang around guys with a pair of 1911's hanging on their hips. Not quite sure what's up with that... They don't come close enough for me to ask.




Tell CHARLEY he's just flat wrong --- with the shop doors closed I have PLENTY OF ROOM to walk around the rig!

Yup. Plenty of room........looks like the shop is a keeper :lol:

Just in case you haven't noticed, you're missing the right front and middle axle center caps on the wheels.:underchair: But really nice shop... How hard to gfet the rig backed in there? looks pretty narrow on the street from the inside view.

Floors look good too!

:cheers:

I leave the middle one off intentionally because I'm tired of buying the "chromed plastic" POS.. and was down to 5 total -- so took the center off each side for symmetry.

Not only did I notice -- I'm the actual guy that took them off. On big trailers like this the HUB is an oil bath - not a packed bearing. The center of the hub is clear plastic "cap" / "window" - with a rubber plug in the center so a guy can add hub/bearing oil to it from time to time.

The big ass stupid chromed plastic "hub caps" have to be knocked off with a hammer in order to SEE the oil level.

On my 5500 mile journey to Texas and back -- I noticed some oil fanning out from the center of the wheel on the front passenger side - so after checking all of them and filling as necessary - I decided not to reinstall that one so I could do a quick visual check at each stop. Now that I know it's good to go - I will put the cheap ass chromed plastic (did I mention POS?) back on.

If I had Charley's money -- I'd gladly piss away another 20 grand having the shop floor painted (already painting the other areas)... but I look at these floors and think it's just a giant waste of money.

Besides -- after Gaetano rips me a new one at Sonoma -- I've got to save my money in order to buy that NASCAR motor off Dave. He'll never use it anyway.

Almost forgot -- HEY! It's a long day driving okay.. and I'm old...



After Gwen watched me back the rig in -- she said -- "I don't know why you don't just buy that piece of property in back and do a drive thru? Besides - you could fence in part of it and grow some grass and have a place for Stella..."


Consider it done. LOL
