Maybe I owe that neighbor thanks instead of a finger...LOL

 Woo-hoo! The Gremlin Garage has been getting a workout this week, I've 
got the "other side" cleaned up enough to fit another Gremlin inside beside 
the GT, been using my tools as well, and glad to have the space to use them 
finally. Also got my ( actually, a shared ) Engine Hoist assembled and ready 
to use. Now that my "projects" are undergoing repairs, registrations, etc. 
I"m starting to feel better and better about getting things done! Luckily the 
weather has cooperated, and tomorrow should be a good day to construct the 
framework for the two sheds I'm building to house two cars, later for storage 
use. I got the Pacer repaired today as well, "just" needed a Master Cylinder, 
so it's back on the road $16 later. Next, got the '74 Gremlin up on 'stands, 
and repaired the tranny line I'd busted loose when ground towing it with a 
towbar. Just needs the battery charged, and maybe a bottom radiator hose, 
then it should be ready to fire up again! I'm already planning to register 
the Gremlin GT as well this coming week, so I can move the Subaru indoors for 
now. I found a running car that just needs some cosmetics, and I can use mine 
for parts to fix this other Subaru wagon, and it's only $200, so I'm pretty 
sure I"ll be keeping the 'Ru now. I may get a decent under-20 year old car 
running for a change! Usually most of my stuff is over 20, I have been 
needing a more modern car for a long time. :) So, the only car left to deal 
with is the Nissan 280zx, and I will probably call up a favor owed by a 
friend, to use her garage to store it for awhile until it either sells, or I 
yank the motor out and junk it. Either way, I figure I'll only have to move 
one car off the property once I"m done. Whew! Thanks, neighbor! You actually 
got my procrastinatin' buttocks off the chair, and onto the driveway 
pavement! I'm not really happy it happened this way, but I must say I've 
gotten more stuff done this week(end) on my cars than I'd thought possible, 
or had done in the last 6 months. Too bad you remained anonymous, I"ll be 
sure to print up a sign to thank you and place in my car window parked on 
the street. :) 
So, the ranting is pretty much over, got my sheds planned, the material 
quantity totalled up, and now just need to go pick it up tomorrow, and start 
in with the hammer and nailing. I hope to have them both framed in tomorrow, 
just leaving the covering for last. Any suggestions for cheap weatherproof 
wall/roof material? I'm still undecided, most seem to need painting, I'm 
looking at the vinyl corrugated panels in white, but they're basically $20 
for 4x8, so while the frame will be really cheap on both, under $90 for the 
biggest 8 x 18 x 8, the covering will be the most expensive part. some nice 
4x8 sheets of plastic would be nice, in opaque white. :) But I've never seen 
any at the Home Depot or Lowes. Oh well. I'll figure something out, if no one 
has a good suggestion. At least I'll have 3 AMCs registered and running 
shortly, and driveable soon after. How SWEET it is! Oy, me achin' 
back...guess I'll go get a shower, not used to putting this body to this much 
use in so short a time. Everyone have a great weekend, so far I am doing 
great on my "legalizing" cars...
