Just bought a house and the garage isn't perfect but I have all my bike tools and car tools, and everything else stuffed inside. Nice to have a place to call your own. But jaysus, doesn't everything need some fixing

Welcome to home ownership. Houses take more money and require a lot more work then a Jeep does.
ssshhhhh!
They re-did the roof, stucco, sewer & copper, electrical panels, water main, and sewer main in the past 5 years so I'm hoping to avoid a lot of the expensive repairs for a while. But yeah, ha ha. I've got stuff to fix all over the place, there is a rear coach house rental that is more neglected. I need to start pulling wires and fixing some masonry work.

I feel your pain. The guy I bought my house from was an electrical class teacher at a college. Sad to say but a student would have been better off teaching. Everything he touched, especially wiring, is just wrong. Im honestly surprised the house hasnt gone up in flames yet

Lol. The joys outweigh the complaints though these days. Welp, back on topic.
I found the fan pulley I knew would turn up (after going to the junkyard couple weeks ago to get a replacement). Should've got that '99 intake I saw while I was there. They rotated out that particular XJ from their inventory... '97+ don't show up too often.

I've got a degree in things electrical. House wiring was not part of the curriculum at all. Not even mentioned.
If the guy didn't have sense enough to know what he didn't know, well....



You are at least fortunate enough to have a shade tree I hope ? lol
