I'm re-using the brick from the barbecue pit. I have enough black iron pipe to run a tuyer and a clinker breaker. I have enough plywood, 1x4, and 2x4 for my great bellows, but I haven't cut anything out yet. Found a section of railroad steel for a temp anvil. I also have a small pile of scrap steel to start working as well.

The car is that 1978 Camaro I was talking about a few years ago. It's sitting out on my driveway up on jackstands. I have that new tranny for it, but I never did get around to getting the rebuild kit for it. Needs fluids, battery, interior, new front tires, and lots of paint. I have the tires for the front, I just need to get the old wheels off the front and take 'em into the local tire shop for mounting and balancing.

Lanscaping is getting started on Zon's new flower beds and converting the old pool area into a small pond and rock garden. We've some of the trellis to get started on part of it, need to run new ground wire for the fountain pump and the lighting.

Great!

Be sure to take “Before” and “After” photos for us. I just love projects, but I also like B&A photos of the projects.

I knew the car was a ‘78, but I couldn’t remember if you were in Ford Country or not!! *snort*

I’d be interested in all the projects, for sure!! Are you restoring the car? Or setting it up for racing?

The landscaping sounds great! I bet Zon will love it when you’re done with it.
