My house has wheels

Work Done

I did well today. All the work got done plus more that I thought up at the last minute.

Best deal was they let me hang around and watch. This was an opportunity to start with completely wheeless axles and watch as the workers built up all four wheels from the bearings on up. I learned a lot, but mainly I think it helped with my confidence that everything was OK and done right.

Anyone remember any of my lug nut stories? Basically the lug nuts on the wheels have to be a special size and shape to hold the wheels correctly. These require a thin-wall socket to turn, as well as…blah blah blah. The point is I’ve had trouble with lug nuts, and had to repair even them. Today we put an entire set of new ones on that don’t have the same problems.

I won’t be putting on any serious miles for a couple of weeks, so I won’t know much for a while.
