What, the new Jeeps can't go under 'any' water now???

I was under the definite impression that all Jeep diffs and t-cases have
high water vents.

They only wanted to change a lot of transmissions by leaving it off
those....

Really, not so much, but I'm tired.. just tired.
We have to tile one bathroom floor, it's a small room and only a half bath
off of the litchen. Then tile the even smaller pantry floor and then grout
the entire area. We are going to rebuild the cabinet in the bathroom,
replace the sink and faucet and tile the countertop (Travertine)

Then... we still need to get our baseboards up in the dining room and
kitchen. Patch and paint walls, there were some BAD moves on electrical
boxes so some fairly large patches that need repairing and the walls here
are smooth, so it's kind of tedious. We are thinking of putting wainscot in
that area but if we do then I'll have to paint the fireplace, and I am not
crazy about that idea either.

THEN we are going to redo the kitchen countertops. We have sombeautifu;
granite tile but I am having second thoughts. Then lastly, refinishing the
kitchen cabinets and maybe replacing the doors, which means we will have to
build them. I may just paint them and call it a day. They are really cheesy
though, I would like new doors.

Geeze.. it does look like more than I thought.

What are you doing on the house you're working on?

If it has the wrong fluid or the syncros are going out, it could be causing
the symptoms....

Kate,

I've got some Hardi-Plank siding to finish on one gable end, then we
need to stain and hang some cedar shake siding for the two tall gable ends.
We floated the 6x6 shower stall's floor today, and we'll tile it tomorrow or
the next day. We have a little more travertine to put on the shower stall
walls, and three granite countertops to make. We also have one more header
piece for some of the floor joists, the front and rear patios to pour and
set the posts in.

The master shower is AMAZING. It's basicaly 6x6 with four shower heads and
a handheld. Completely tile, mostly travertine.

We're also starting an attached shop to an existing home, 28x28 with a
breezeway..
