love the fabric.
why are there three water heaters in your garage?
I have an extra one in my utility room - waiting for the greenhouse but not three.
doesn't sound like it will be much longer before we have a new body on the street.

True story about this mirada.Bought it while it was in a field.Owner needed 5 days to drag it to the road with his D-7 dozer.That only took 1hour.Pouring air in the tires with a 5 gallon bucket would explain the time line.While it was being loaded onto the wrecker,the old owner wanted to know what I was going to do with it.After I told him,you would think I was killing his dog.He swore all it needed was a little tuning.After 2 weeks of stripping the car,I found the spark plugs under the back seat.Plug wires under front seat.ignition coil in the trunk.The voltage regulator under the spare tire and the ignition module in the clove box.But I swear to Jesus it only needs a little tuning.

plumbing contractor...
that explains how you got them,
so what do you do with all the water heaters or are those being prepped to go to someone's house?

The water heaters came from abandon and repossessed houses.they will become rocket boosters for my mirada if they're not gone soon.

lol
we are going to use the extra one we acquired to store heated water. Use either the barrel stove or the solar panel to heat the water during the day and then cycle it through the plumbing in the greenhouse at night to keep the temps high enough for the plants.

At least, that's what I was told 2 years ago when it was moved in downstairs. lol
