Nick's "lvndpst" Restoration (and Slight Modification) Thread

Needs a transmission before it needs more power.

And functioning A/C
And paint
And the list goes on

Well guys, I’m not dead.

We decided to take a leap of faith and buy a 1900 farm house on 2 acres outside of town to completely update like we’re Chip and Joanna Gaines... Our house is pending sale, and the close dates are July 17th on our new place, and July 30th on the current house (giving us two weeks to move). So I’ve been busy fixing and cleaning our current house, doing showings, etc. Having three kids and two pets, it’s been a challenge. Now that the both homes are pending, I have turned my attention to other things.

Today I taught my 6 year old to ride his bike without training wheels. This is a screen shot of a video. Dad of the year here forgot his helmet until we were 30-45 mins in. Whoops.



Once my boy was ready for a break, I got my bumper repair in its first coat of filler primer.



If I’m lucky, maybe I will get the lower plastics all shot the same color gray this week and be able to check that chore off the list. We’ll see. The wife is sweating the move pretty hard.

I’m looking forward the outdoor space. I can teach my boys to shoot, start my car at night or early in the morning without guilt of waking my retired neighbors, and no longer listen to any yappy lap dogs being let out at 2 am by the brain dead guy behind me.

The house will be a challenge as we are going to be living in it during the renovations, but we have the camper to escape to as well. Maybe I will start a thread about the reno for those that are interested.
