Well it is a timber frame structure and in the bano the peak goes up like another 6 ft or so from the 9ft wall height which makes it 15ft I guess. I probably actually knew how high it was at some time in the process but I forget. Maybe tomorrow I’ll measure it. The open peak above the kitchen

Buicks from the 90s, like the Regal, are pretty much indestructible. My brother in law travels for business and he had one he put over 350k on before he retired it. He said it was a great cruiser and really comfortable, too, which would be important if you’re spending a lot of time behind the

Kaleb, Maybe you just need a piece of tape in the switch. Wish I was kidding, but that's what it took to fix my 2008 Ford Escape ignition. Between the ignition and the 3.0 engine which you almost disassemble in order to do a tuneup, it must be the dumbest Ford creation since the Edsel.

If you watch some Paintless Dent Repair videos, they use a heat gun to warm up a panel (thin body sheet metal, not radiator supports), and it gets noticeably softer just warming it up to where it's uncomfortable to touch it. But I think the main reason they do it is to make the paint less
