New World Datsuns...

Yes ! 100% agreed ! None of this BS cooling fan modules or alternator clutch pulleys designed to extend the life of a $12-$15 belt.

Yet another scam/Garbage

Nobody gives a fling post update. New aisin water pump/thermostat into wifes daily. Probably wont be touching these recent replaced parts again.

Not much of anything , just a repair. Typical home stuff.

Noticed some bubbling of water/air between an expansion joint. Looked at the valves/pipes next go the home. Those weren’t it.

Got a tool or two delivered






Result ? Apparently this joint was the culprit. Got lucky.









The tool worked pretty decently especially considering doing aggregate. The 3.5 gallon (small) water pressure bottle for the wet cut D blade saved the day.

The existing compression coupler ? Yeah...literally tightened up the nuts , and it stopped leaking. Ordered more parts (locally didn't have anything).

Definitely could have been worse.

110% luck of placement , and type of leak. Feeling fortunate

So lucky!! Good job getting it fixed

Thanks Tater ! (sorry for very very late reply)

So.... little things.

We've been making this place our own.
Filled probably 40-green recycle bins of debris from trimmed trees etc...so far over the last few months.
Took down some more trees/bushes.
Painted 75% of the place (I've just been super busy with work/family balance)
and more.... will have to take pics later.

I have a large (to me) tree I will have to rent a lift for to trim back properly.

more to come

Would it be cheaper to have a tree guy come and trim the large tree than to rent a lift?
