Well, we had eight or nine heat waves this summer well over 90 degrees and an extremely fast transition from hot to cold. Within a month temps went from 70-80 to 40-50, and this previous week and a half has been between 15 and 35. It just kind of went from summer to winter... we skipped fall lol. If I lived in cooler weather all year long I might be able to handle it a little better, but we get the worst of both worlds around here. I was also born in Florida.... This cold stuff just isn't meant for me haha


I'll see what I can do about the lights tomorrow, but I'm not making any promises..

I've not been ignoring you guys, I've just been busy. I've had a few family emergencies. I made a little bit of progress though.

I really wanted to get some work done on it today, but just didn't have the time.

I'm ok, but my cousin lost her apartment and everything in it. http://www.phillyfirenews.com/conten...etail/4969.php

Got all of the wiring done today. All I have left to do is mount the lights and the switch for the lights and hook it all up. It's far too cold tonight to do it so I will try tomorrow. Wish me luck =)

Yea me too, but I'm slackin' haha. I'm going to 3-4 doctors a day so I don't have a huge amount of free time and when I do have free time I just want to relax. I'm tired of running around constantly. It doesn't help that it's so damn cold either. I may have lived almost my entire life in the north, but my genes are all from the south... and I don't do cold very well. Especially now that I'm having all these nerve problems... My circulation is horrible.

I also have to buy a new step bit for my drill to install the switch for the lights. I seem to have misplaced mine.
