Roy,

What are you driving this winter if you are taking the Volvo apart? No, new fuel pump for the truck?

What am I doing? Nothing to do with any vehicle...

But, I have an outside door to install in the kitchen in the coming weeks of the upstairs apartment of the duplex so I can start renovating the kitchen this winter.

I will be installing infloor heat (electric) with tile flooring, drywall and new kitchen cabinets.

Wil most of the tasks on the Volvo are day jobs...if they are more than that we have the Prius and I sometimes have a rental around during the winter so that the Volvo doesn't have to act as a snow plow.

If you keep the roof over your head Jerry you will be doing better than a lot...but with Denise back working, the chances are better than last week that you will be successful.

By the way is there a light weight welding unit that I can use for sculpture that will do light/thin iron and aluminum? Or do I have to have two different pieces of equipment?

you need a tig to weld aluminum or you can learn to braze alot cheaper too most migs have an attachment for tig welding not sure about the cheaper ones.
