Well, on the positive side you have garage to keep the biting bugs at bay, and the snow come winter. I am old and have turned into a pre season grumpy. All Good

Ya, it's not perfect, but it's out of the weather.

Oh dang...... forgot to mention the "best" part of the day!!!!
Go to pull the truck out of the garage, put it in reverse, back up about three feet feel a clunk and hear the most horrible screeching noise!!!
WTF!?!?!?!?!
Get out and look underneath, my IDIOT son put his two sidesteps from his truck UNDERNEATH a LOWERED truck!!!!!!
Like who the hell thinks that's a good idea???
Someone who's good for two things, that's who!
He's so lucky he didn't wake up to a fist to the chops!!!
I'm still pissed!

And when I confronted him just before I left for the week, he's like "I told Mom, I thought she'd tell you".......how that idiot ties his boots on for work in the morning, I'll never know! Lol

Woooooosaaaaa!!!!!
Serenity now!!!!!

Take lots of pictures, every time you disconnect or disassemble something, so that when you go to put it back together you can see where and which way it went. That and "bag and tag" everything.

Absolutely. I have a bunch of pictures already, just gotta start putting them in a "folder" so I don't have to doom scroll! Lol
And ya, lots of sharpie marked ziplocks in my future.

This is gonna be fun, nerve wracking, exciting, frustrating and a bunch of other emotions I probably don't know of yet all wrapped into one! Lol

But I have a couple smart fellas on board to help. And YouTube University is also a great resource.

This is still all a bit surreal to me, actually seeing, smelling and touching a project I've wanted to do for almost two decades or so. This was something only magazine articles did, not this dumbass in MY garage!! Lol

you need notecards or paper inside the bag with the label of what it is too. The sharpie will wear off if you just write on the bag. Greasy parts/bolts/hands will expedite that process.

That's a good tip!!!
Thanks for that.

To add to bluex, bag the tag/notecard or wrap packing tape over it to isolate it from grease contamination inside the parts bag. Nothing like putting the forethought into tagging them just to have a grease/oil soaked tag you can't read.
