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.

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.
