Re: Putter's Bus
OMG, I only had to take out 7 screws in the battery compartment out , but thought I would have a fit. Used a hand impact and liked to have had a heart attack....
Beat the damn things for an hour

Re: Putter's Bus
havent made up my mind yet. Its the top of a tool box that a friend of mine had, he lost the box in a wreck, I have had the top for about 5 years. I knew I kept it for a reason.......Bus is gonna be blue and white top, so I dont know how it will look

Re: Putter's Bus
Ouch. Let us know what happens. Hoping nothing serious.
On a similar note, I was wearing my safety goggles while doing the ceiling but forgot to wear more conservative clothing so ended up with metal shards in my cleavage.

Re: Putter's Bus
Just had the dremel tool used on me. There were 2 pieces in my corena, so much for Primed, its a emergency center, not a hospital. So now I have 2 different eyedrops, but should be good to go in a couple days. Tks for the concerns

Re: Putter's Bus
Good to hear your eye is OK...
I've had metal in my eyes a few times... I do a lot of cutting and welding on a number of different projects, last time I was wearing glasses... Now I have a full face shield...
That dremel in the eye thing is one of the worst... It makes your toes curl up in your shoes...

Re: Putter's Bus
the bus looks like it's coming along nicely. Sorry to hear about the eyes. No skoolie is complete without a little blood, sweat, and tears.

Re: Putter's Bus
Around here we have a joke that Murphy ('s law) loves me and follows me like a love sick puppy.
So yeah, I know what you mean. Don't fret--things always get better. *cheer*
