What's everybody doing?

My neighbor has been doing really good.  He took away another over 1,600lbs of engine parts and blocks this morning.  Today he started organizing parts to go out to the steam cleaner this week if the weather allows.  Who knows what the weather will do around here any more.     Parts are everywhere and they all need to be dealt with before starting on the next 5 pallets of engines.  One pallet with 9 BB Wheel Horse Kohlers on it is already in the shop but as you can see in the pics there's no more room for parts.  After everything is steam cleaned, a lot of it can be put up as is, and a lot of it will be blasted and put up later.

I've been piddling with Carson's 121 and doing other misc things that need to be done while mainly waiting for a good painting day to finish up most of the paint on Carson's.  Someone is coming up from TN next week to rebuild a deck that I have scheduled but that will take less than a day.  

 

2 More round hood rollers were parted down last week that were in the 4 car garage.  It's nice to not have to move them around to get to things any more.  When all is said and done most of the round hood parts will be on the 4 post rack near the blaster.  That will be another crazy undertaking...   

Neighbor is still going on engines and helping with rearranging.  A lot of rearranging got done early this morning while it was cool out.  The last 4 pallets of engines in the 4 car garage were taken off of the pallet racks toward the back wall and put toward the front so they're easy to get to.  Most of the tires and rims from the shop are in the 4 car garage on the back wall now where the engines were, and there's extra room out there.   He started on another pallet of engines today from the 4 car garage today.  1 pallet is full of rebuilt engines out there so that one will just be brought in the shop and put on a pallet rack.  All of the engines and engine parts will be in the shop when this is all over with, I need to get to them a lot more than tires and rims.  

There's a lot of empty space on the shop racks now that will be where all of the engine parts will go.  Things are looking a little better every day thanks to finally having some help.  

I spent a lot of the afternoon getting some other little things blasted for Carson's and gathering up new parts needed to do the next things on it.  I'm hoping to have it running tomorrow and having all of the sheet metal on it minus the hood and rear fender.
