I kind of took today off, so did the customers.

I am surprised that this hose lasted so long, it was like this when I purchased it.  The screw-in piece on the end of the boom cracked so it just hangs off the side.  The third picture is how the hose goes through the boom.  I did not have a hose that was 80″ so the hose it very long until I purchase a smaller hose.

Man this fab work is top notch.  The bolts with the arrows (second picture) needed to be grinded down.  Also the lip on the bar.

Now the lock actually fits!  The only problem is the top of the lock.  I should do something to make it look better?

Drilling into steel is a pain.  Maybe that is why my crappy Skil drill gave up today?  It overheated or something.

I purchased a crappy socket set.  Why does a replacement wrench cost $20 and a 75 piece set cost $35?  I finished installing the spacers and the lock actually fits, it just needs to be supported.

I messed up my cutting blade and did not have a spare.  When I was removing the blade, the nut that holds it on to the grinder fell off and rolled directly into the pit, about 5 feet.  What bad luck.

I installed one side of the support for the lock.  It was getting late and I had plans so I quit.

The plan is to add spacers and 2 1/2″ screws so the lock will fit correctly.

When I was trying to install the spacer I broke my wrench.  Of course this was the only socket that fit and I have an incomplete socket set.  What bad luck.  I learned some more important lessons today:  1) Drills can catch when drilling steel.  I have a busted finger to prove it.  2) A vise would be nice to have because pliers can slip off the steel and get caught in your shirt and bruise and cut your boobs.

If installed correctly, each SuperSleeve should hold 2800 pounds.  I installed two correctly?

First, I drilled the holes for mounting to the SuperSleeves.  Then I bent the steel to install.  It was bent at an angle so you can close the door easier.

Drilled, grinded then dremeled, in that order, end result last picture.

This is where the problem arised.  The lesson is measure three times and drill once?  But, I messured twice and drilled twice, both crappy.  I think I am just going to start over tomorrow.

Wire harness for the Coleman CT-2000 bay timer. The next picture is the wiring diagram.  The next picture is the diagram for the D&S timers that Greg is going to sell to me.  The last two pictures are the last known photos of the Coleman bay timer before it was stolen.

I purchased some steel for my reinforcement plan.  Second picture, I guess the lock needs to be supported by another piece so it can not be twisted off?

My meter boxes are 14″x 9″ and about 6 1/2″ deep for the single, the double meter door is around 11″.  The plan is to mount an American hockey puck lock 2000 series which is about 2 3/4″ wide to the front of the door via steel bar.  Not sure if I am going to mount one or two locks on each door.  The last picture is my cheezy diagram of my plan.

I noticed when I was tring to measure the double meter boxes that someone tried to drill one and hit the other with a hammer or something.
