Nothing like a car with a big trunk . . . .
I wouldn't use it for a Barber Chair.

What kind of suspension: Leaf Springs?
And you can measure the piston wear by the rings...

My truck was kind of dirty - thought I'd Spruce up the cab a bit . . .
I like the wood grain dash, Mossy Oak floor mats, and Fir seat covers.

Automatic transmission, or 3-on-the-tree?
I dunno, but the canopy is nice.

Wow! Talk about an Ash tray . . . !
Yeah, it's a green Beetle thing.

Must be a sugar maple - runs better in the spring . . .
I know. I heard it tapping! I feel sorry for the sap that ended up with it.

Thanks, Philbert. LMAO.

My brother has his house on the market because of employment out of town .
I had to go check his furnace because it has a zero clearance chimney which comes out the basement wall about a foot off the ground .

Fuzzy said "**** that , I aint shovelin all that , I quit !"
Hard to tell but the snow is 3' or better ,
I broke trail , they followed LOL

It got uglier as I got closer .

When we finally got in , the furnace had quit , it uses a zero clearance furnace that comes out through the basement wall a foot above ground .
We found that the quickest route to the vent was from above because of the large drifts surrounding the house .

Found a small piece of plywood to stand on and Fuzzy went out first , I went after on the ironing board and we did some 2 stage shovelling LOL

My buddy Donnie was with us but he couldn't fit through the window so he gave us some moral support and was ready to call 911 if we got stuck .

We finally found it and got it cleaned out and the furnace flashed up .

Donnie did come in handy , he got us a step ladder so we could get back in and not have to fight our way around .

Feet of snow on the ground and you are wearing a straw hat. Awesome. :)
 
No freeze , I figure the furnace went out Sunday , one of his friends went over on Monday and cleared off a bit of snow from that event but yesterdays snow was unprecedented for the condition of drifting around the house , I couldn't see his oil tank , couldn't even open the back door .
His was not the only driveway not done , plenty of people were out shovelling ,plow contractors at some , skid steers at some , snow blowers at some even saw mini excavators at several doing snow removal .
30" and you guys saw the drift pics in that area , an hour from my house .

tell yah what, somehow,,i get that snow at least three feet from the house.. otherwise, when in melts, he will have large pond around the house. which will soak the ground,,and could build enough pressure, to blow the basement walls............on the lowest part, clean a exit for the water...................soaked soil, has bunch of hydraulic pressure...............
