So today was an adventure.
Had a scrap guy lined up to come get the shell. I took the day off to finish my continuing Ed and get my state license renewed (super close to deadline) and take care of the carcass hogging up the boss lady’s parking spot in the garage.
I started my day removing the fuel neck and getting the thing set on a harbor freight furniture dolly.
Mistakes were made
Lessons were learned.
it went out to the driveway fairly well. Only a little sketchy anyway.
the scrap guy never showed so just before supper time I decided to try moving it back in the garage.( No way I’m leaving her car parked half a block away on an ice patch for her to climb over while pregnant. ) that’s when things got interesting.
the wood on the dolly gave and snapped in half
I jacked it up and screwed 2 2x4’s to it to brace it up and extend the pressure points under the car.
next the wheels decided to say NOPE. And it was stuck in her parking spot sideways in the driveway.
Called for reinforcements, Dad lives an hour away and was already on his way home. So I found an 8’ 2x2x1/4” angle and went Egyptian on it. 20 min of prying and I had it behind my truck so her Tahoe could park in it’s driveway spot since the garage was still blocked.
it only tipped off the jack once and that was enough for me.
I think tomorrow I’m bringing it back into the heat and cutting it up
I’ll set a concrete anchor in the garage floor and get out the 2.5 ton chain hoist to drag her in brute force style.
