Anyway, all of this house stuff is off-topic! Bill, when are you going to start working on the car again?!

It's going to take a couple of months to get everything moved in and organized. |

Second bay in the garage is finally open. Firebrid is ready to move. I just need to arrange for the roll-back to transport it.

That's going to depend if I get to retire in mid-2021 like I want to do. |

At which point you have all the time in the world but not the money? (Better budget for it!)

Meanwhile, can someone help me out replacing my heater core? Where does the dash go again?
I don't know about you, but I usually get far more done when I work. Otherwise I am likely to spend 75 minutes posting about fifth-generation Civics, for example.

Then you're going to have plenty of time to go from giving people updates and actually being free to work on it 
Now with such a comfortable house, I guess you'll have some extra motivation to work on the car even during winter.
