Not an automotive project, but just gone done redoing our guest bathroom. Still have a few small trim pieces to work out and put the final coat of paint on but other than that, it's pretty much done.

 

Don't look at the ugly cream toliet. We still have to replace that, just have to find one we like and that fits.

No pics, but I've been working on a lawn tractor for the last few months. It runs and cuts ok but needs A LOT of TLC to get it "right".

I really like seeing those cars and motorcycles being worked on. I used to do a lot of that until I broke my back in 1997. I even had to quit my continuing certifications as an ASE mechanic and was told I could not work on cars anymore and to get a desk job.

Since then I had tried to continue working on my own vehicles and have found that it makes my back sore so I am limited to what I could do. I use to service motorcycles for friends of mine in our motorcycle chapter and I finally had to tell my friends "I can't work on them anymore."

It was a sad day for me since that is what I really love doing.

 

Now I am lucky if I change the oil in one of my bikes, which I mostly now take them to the dealer.

 

I do plan on putting Chrome tow hooks on my truck soon.

 

I know.................it is a very small project, but for me, when I put on my running boards, that was a big project.

 

Let's see more pics.

 

Thanks for sharing.
