Slow going cause I've got both projects and the city is involved 🙁

$100 for a Dremel but the old one was toast. Put in a hole for the washing machine relocation and got that set.

Still need to put some caulking around it but going to wait until the patio is poured.

Also, accidentally damaged the PVC that was used to run power to the shed. Need to hit the box store for a repair kit. Probably buy some slightly larger pipe and slip it over, or get a rubber coupling, split it, and use some pipe clamps while I pour over it.

Yeah, hammer drill just arrived in the mail and I have to keep explaining to my wife that we're still way below what the contractor wanted to charge us. (That's $150 added to the budget, also, disappointed that Dewalt did not include a carrying bag/case).

No big updates, slow going on the backfill. Trying to figure out how to get 20' sticks of rebar home ontop of my VW. I'll post pictures of whatever I come up with.

Fixed the PVC pipe by using a 1" piece cut into a pacman shape so that it snapped over the damaged spot.

Got a lil glue happy cause it snapped into the wrong spot and I didn't want to start fresh.

I would have it delivered, too many things can go wrong.

Same but so far, I've gotten 2 no-quotes. Maybe I can get the box store to deliver... for a price.

Dude, just strap it to the top and roll with it.

From my experience...

and

this is hard to tell, but 20ft pieces are on top.

From this thread...

PorkChops, I really want a minivan. As a child I remember hating my parents minivan until it became my first car (until I killed it), at which point I realized how much stupid shit you could do with them and nobody would ever look twice, because it's a minivan.

I took your advice:
