Thing is, though, that aircraft "putt...putted," and stopped about 10 ft. off the ground and didn't crash. Remember, the gremlin saying. "Sorry folks.... we ran out of gas..." To wit, Bugs replied (looking at the decal on the windshield), "Yeah, you know how it is with those "A" Cars...." :ROFLMAO:
Yeah, and with the wings ripped off from the air speed. But it was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture. Not sure what that says about me... :ROFLMAO:
 
Trust me, if you have done enough remodeling it’s totally understandable. Didn’t expect there to be anything in there.

I’ve been doing a remodel my house that was built in the 70s. There are no drawings. Pretty much every time I open a wall I find stuff I didn’t expect to be there. Abandoned wiring…. Maybe? Never know till ya check. I’ve got a light switch for an exterior light with a dead short in it, but I still haven’t found where the nail/staple is going through the romex, it’s somewhere between the switch and the breaker is all I know.


Something as simple as replacing the washer valves. You would have never have convinced me the water lines came in from above and not below before I opened the wall. They came in above because the drain was run diagonal cutting across in the wall 2 feet below them.

All those issues are edited out on the "Home Remodel" show's on TV that make it look easy. A total remodel done in one hour. Always funny that the contractor's are wearing winter gear at the beginning and at the end they are back in their winter gear.

My wife has a mild addiction to those shows. I keep telling her they are scripted and heavily edited and she keeps telling me to hush.
 
I bet this guy loves saying "fuck you" to his HOA :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
That's a Griffon powered later mark Spitfire. If I had that sitting in my garage.... I'd tell the HOA to go pound sand!

I'd sit in it everyday having my beverage of choice and relaxing. It would be my happy place!
