Amanda youre killing it right now. You're on fire with your tank journey, and I love it. You're always so nice and encouraging when others post pictures and now it's your turn. We're all very proud for you. You deserve this, and Im really enjoying this stage in your journey, dear.
Awe thank you so very much for the kind words! You are an awesome person (no matter what @kevgib67 says) and truly have a way with words my friend.
 
Good morning everyone, it's been a busy few days.
Hope you are well Luis! And I hope things slow down for you soon we miss you here.
 
Man I came here to share this Paul! We just got home not too long ago. I dont know if Alice Cooper or my 9 year old was the biggest hit lol. He was the only kid I saw there lol. He made a ton of friends.

I definitely didnt appreciate how excellent of a guitar player Nita Strauss was.
What great memories John! That is awesome!
 
Good morning everyone, it's been a busy few days.
helping family and friends is what its all about. I wonder how much money you saved doing all this yourselves? And you know no one cut corners. I had some molding rot on my house after a relative short time and replaced it myself and found they didn't zip tape those areas. I also replaced a few exterior lights and found they never applied the weather seals. also replaced an exterior door because water got inside the door and would freeze in the winter and had to body slam it to get out. during the replacement found the previous installer installed the J strips upside down so it would pull the water in between the door and the frame instead of channeling it out. ☹️
