livin' in the bubble!

havnt updated in awhile. been real busy. I put the clear cover on that i bought ($700) it was terriable. the tarp slap noise was terriable. It may have been a good cover if I had more time to put it on... maybe ill try it again someday. I kinda lost my shirt bad on this winter cover deal. ive got 3k wraped up into it now. between the metal frame, all the clamps, the clear cover and now the shrink wrap. I should have just had it wraped in the first place. anyways, I had zap shrink wrap it (www.zapawrap.com) those guys did a great job.

now that its all done I can install my wood door and bring the boiler in. yes I bought a oil fired boiler. 74,000 BTU. Tom frank is going to install it with me which should be fun, hoping to learn alot from him. So that should start soon.. the boiler ways 325LBS so it will be alot of fun brining her inside and down into the engine room.

so its lunch time and my food is here.. catch yall later

heres a picture of the wrap.
