Some landscaping rocks. Doesn't look like much, but the older I get the less fun loading a few bags of this stuff is. Should've put it in 'kneel' mode first.

I wish they had a way to adjust the air suspension to make it do a Carolina squat. 😆

On this Earth Day, I got a free t-shirt from my local scrap yard for bringing in a load of scrap metal collected off our local streets and from around the offices where I work. This scrap expertly packed by a pair of top-tier garage cat helpers.😻🌎

I was irrationally excited to post this picture. A friend of mine is moving (and taking all their cats) but couldn't take all their cat furniture. Going to fix up the pieces and keep maybe a a couple for our cats, and donate the rest to animal shelters and rescues.

This time I put 60 bags of mulch in the trailer instead of the truck bed. I weighed one bag and it was about 35 lbs. That means the trailer was overloaded. As the truck bed would have been. It was fine.

A quick comment on my towing experience so far. I did a short test run on the towing to make sure there are no unexpected issues. Drove with the radio off and I could hear the electric motors. They kind of sound like little jet engines, kind of cool.

Serious DIY job.

That boom lift is amazing. I had no idea such a thing existed. I would be up there on a ladder, risking my life trying to get those windows inserted. And risking dropping a $1000 window.

Making a mental note for the future! Thanks for sharing!

When I was a teen and in college, I worked a summer job in construction, and I've done home woodworking projects most of my life so I was pretty comfortable with the window replacement, and the previous trim work style made it super easy to remove the trim and old windows. I got reconstruction windows which can be inserted from the inside (no nail fin like new construction windows), less effort and safer for an amateur. I've used boom and platform lifts for 30+ years in my industrial automation work - no way would I have done this on a ladder. The towable is amazing and it save $200 - $400 in delivery fees opposed to a self propelled lift.

Hauling 400# of scrap to the local scrap yard. Appliances and grill I found behind a dumpster in my office complex. Broken sewing machines a neighbor dropped off. One of my cats has a vet appointment today. Putting my Rivian to work. With the layoffs and cutbacks at my main job, anything I can make from scrap goes straight to vet bills.

I hope your cat is okay and the vet bill is small.
