Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
well, here's my weekend recap:
-spent ALL DAY saturday replacing the passenger side CV in my sister's sentra. i made my sister and tarah go get food and a 32mm socket... that took over an hour. bad idea lol. also did pads and rotors, and the pads had like 1/8" too much metal on them on the bottom, so i ended up grinding it off to match the old pads. the lower ball joint started spinning the second i put a wrench on it to pull off the knuckle.. that took a while to get off, and of course now i had to get a new ball joint. old axle came out and went in easy. had to nigrig two different ball joint presses to get the old on out and new one in bc of how the control arm is designed. super dumb. finished at 530, took it for a test drive and the driver's side caliper seized. called it a day at 6 since we were already running late for concert #1.
-today, woke up and outside by 9 and tested the caliper to make sure that was the problem and it was. pulled it off, got a new one. installed, test drive done, mint. leave at 1115 to go drop the car off and then drive to a graduation party for my cousin at a chinese buffet that gave me indigestion just by walking in the door. who the **** wants chinese buffet at 12 on a sunday? home at 330, take a dump, clean up all my tools i left out in the garage. replace the master cylinder o-ring things on my truck bc they were leaking. bleed brakes, done. it is now 545, time to shower, return the core caliper, and head to concert #2.
TL;DR: working on cars sucks. cant wait for nacfest.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
so my pool was really rusty.
pool people wanted to replace the whole wall of the pool, would have cost close to 2k.
heres how you do it for under 50$.
remove the liner from affected area
remove bolts from seam, Install 4x10 sheet metal
drill holes to line up with original seam
used some self tapping screws along the bottom(heads get covered with sand)
then drill some new holes through the new sheet metal and old pool wall.
Make sure all the screw heads get covered with at least 2 layers of duct tape. and also we duct taped the top of the pool wall just for added insurance.
then cut out the skimmer and return jet thing, and reinstall the liner
done.
I wish I had taken more pics or a video maybe. I could have been a famous youtube pool guy.

You were right there with us.
I had an awesome day. Did not realize how sunburned I am till I took a shower.
When you buying tickets for next year?

That place was straight up rancid when we left, I bet the maids just quit instead of cleaning it.
Why don't you reserve yourself some seats on the bus to GO****YOURSELFVILLE?!

We had 6 of us in the hotel when we went to Paragon. There was some beadlock repair one night and then someone did mud angels on the wall before we checked out.
