thats what im really worried about. the person that lives across the court from me thinks he is the boss of everyone in the court. he also tagged my truck for being "dissasembled" when i was painting it. Id be pretty darn mad if he complained! that would really suck if i had to cut it all up and trash it.
its also going to block sunlight from the windows on that side of our house. my dad says its ok, he is just happy that he can park in the drive way again.

Man I hate people like that :x Man ill tell you now Im a hot head lol and I woad just tell him to puck off!!! :evil:.

Im on the fire dept hear and the other day we was testing the pump out of a pond well im the boss of the truck sense im the driver + I can go inside the burning houses if I want to. ANd most of the time only 3 people show up to women and the guy thats painting my truck so me and ed are the ones inside the house. Any ways when we was testing the pumps ever one came that will never come to the fires. Well a lady from CA trys to run ever thing her way well she told me Im not useing that truck right. Well all my trainging is from the forestdept so I said you think you can do it better you try and she started to yell and treat me like a dog so I just got pissd and I pushed her into the ice cold pond :evil: . Now she wont bull dog me any more like she will ever one else. And the dept is a volunteer fire dept.
Its so sad even the fire chef don't come to any thing. No one hear cares. Only the 4 of us do any thing.

Any ways you doing a great job :clap:

Looks good :thup: One thing I didn't add in the other threat (project updates) is that we are thinking of putting some OSB down as a floor so when doing heavy stuff ie pulling a motor the cherry picker can still roll and wont want to sink as much

Nice to see my son is giving me some credit for my involvement. He was nice enough to not mention the frequent temper tantrums I had when things didn't go right. Maybe he learned a few new words. Anyway, I am pleased with the results, he did all the research and planning, i just helped piece it together and drove him to the hardware store (in his truck) a few times.
