02 Base for my son

You can take the haze out of the headlights with some 3M plastic compound/polish. I usually sand 1st, go down in grits, polish them out, then use a 2 step UV liquid protectant that dries.

I use the Meguiars 3-step kit for headlamps. Have had a lot of success. Comes with 1000 grit sandpaper, 3000 grit, Velcro sanding block, a drill-mount buffing wheel, polishing compound and the UV sealant in a kit. One kit will cover multiple cars.

I recently swapped to those same Sealight LED bulbs. Driver side high beam failed in a month. On the mirror image picture below you can see the passenger side high beam bulb is only half illuminated. I emailed them and they sent me a new replacement right away, is in transit. Good service response.

Few updates
August 9th- Wife bought me a Rott. Always wanted one and Lola would have been a Rottweiler but Jess really wanted a bulldog/boxer.
I was totally surprised by it. Mixed emotions. Part of me wasn’t ready and didn’t think I would be for a long time but then I thought about how much Lola meant to me, same with Peanut before Lola and I came to the conclusion that having another dog helps fill that empty hole left in your heart from losing your best friend.

Julianna gets me to take her on the bike every chance she gets. Gonna have my hands full with this one.

After my foot healed, kinda, still dealing with issues from surgery because I think they nicked a nerve, I got up north and fixed the driveway. I had to fix the backfill and slope the ground away from garage. Decided to just make a trailer parking area there and open driveway up all the way to street. Pics tell the story.

I had gravel dropped up there while I wasn’t there. Figured they know how to drop gravel on a driveway so I wouldn’t have to drag the bobcat back up north but this is what they did. Jeez!


So back up I went dragging the bobcat.

The first time my brother offered to drive with his truck so at least I only had to drag it up and back once.

It rained for a few days before I got back up there so the gravel was really wet and was a mess to work with.

The next day it was starting to dry out and was easier to work with without bobcat tearing it up as fast as I could smooth it out.





I think it came out pretty good and I’m happy with it. Was even better the next time we went up because it had time to settle and stiffen up.

Also finished the “mud room” off the main garage going into house to have our gear stored there instead of everyone dragging snow and gear into the kitchen. Only thing I have left to do is mud and tape drywall. Just waiting for weather to break.
This happened early January while we were waiting on snow to arrive.

This was all done in one weekend too. Nick, my brother and myself. Got there Thursday night and left Sunday morning. So 2 days really.

Dang man y’all put in some serious work! Looks awesome though!

Above posts is how we left it that weekend. I was sore and tired for sure but made good progress.
The next couple trips up I had other stuff going on but I did manage to get lighting, switches and baseboard heater in. Insulated under the landing and got more insulation up in garage walls as well.




Gonna put an exterior door on, mud/tape and paint and do something on the floor and steps. It came together but I still need a bench. I did find some helmet holders.
