Eh, not a big deal on the wheels. I didn't want to lay them down on the pavement and risk scratching them. And . . . it's not like it slowed me down. For some reason I work really slow when doing work on my vehicles. It always seems to take forever, such as the 2 1/2 hr brake job. Partly I putz around looking at stuff while I'm working on it. Partly I'm not that well organized and set up seems like it takes 1/3 of the time.





Oh, and continuing the redneck theme. . . . parked the trailer on the front lawn to reduce time to haul debris out of the house. Started demoing the remaining the drywall in the master bedroom.
