Nothing besides the exhaust housing is discolored. Even the "ceramic coating" I sprayed on the cross over where the downpipe is normally hasn't changed color. Don't know what that grey coating is they use on the factory exhaust housing is but it might just be paint and I'd imagine that doesn't hold up well to 1000+deg temps..

Sitting here designing a platform to span our stairway upstairs (whilst arguing with the Mrs) so we can continue to remove old ceiling plaster and install new drywall. The framework has to be rigid, but the platform has to tilt up out of the way so the stairs are still usable.
I love my wife, and she has great ideas, but she just doesnt understand the requirements of construction design.

My wife is the same Tom. She is always let's do this. I'm like before we do that we have to this and that first. Then she is like why do you always have to make it complicated. I say, do you want it done right or not? I only do construction for a living
Not bad for a nobody, but I am so over remodeling this 163-y/o house.

Ladder isnt safe to put up in that space. To be tall enough to reach ceiling, it cannot open completely. Cannot reach the areas above the steps coming up from the landing from a ladder.
Was going to use scaffold, but even HF wants $250 for a small one. This cost us $30 and our time.

Didn't UPS just reach an agreement with the union to pay their drivers like 2x what I make as an electrical engineer?

I'd like to believe someone out there, somewhere, is making good money. Cause it ain't me!

Well turbo for the valley finally showed up after sitting 100miles away for 3 days. Didn’t really need more air but didn’t want to put stock stuff back in if it was coming apart again.
I thought I was being smart by not removing exhaust housing but am struggling to get the oil drain gasket to stay in place while I slide center section in.
I’ve tried greasing the gasket, making a thicker gasket that’s easier to move with smaller holes for the bolts and threading them into the gasket slightly but once the center section is in place you can’t move the gasket.
Anyone have any suggestions or should I just pull the exhaust housing? Really don’t want to take the uppipes off again.

As much as possible, the boy keeps me on my game. Had him out flounder fishing this afternoon. How you been?
Trying to live life to its fullest. Lol
Was down in Myrtle for vaca back in the summer. Thought about you and HD Dave.
Still have my ole lmm for now.
Wife and I moved further into the country and rehabbed a house over the last year and half or so. Built a new barn and what not

Good old Myrtle Beach, that place has grown all the way to the NC border. This area has exploded over the last 5 years. Dave still lives about a mile from me, he has built one hell of a business here in Wilmington. We still fish together a good bit, but not like the good ole days. Lol.
