So was chatting with my mom. She asked how the painting was going, said I was almost done with the second coat on the trim. She was... Oh, so almost done. No, I still have to paint the walls Dumbass, you do the trim last. I have always done trim first. I can't imagine it any other way. I googled it and it seems it is a big debate. So, let's have a poll. Her husband was listening. He said we were both stupid, you should hire someone. He is not wrong.

Much appreciated I will check it out Not going to decide what way to go until it is in there and I work on it a bit. Maybe a lift, maybe a chock or maybe nothing. A lot depends on how backing in goes. Painting this thing sucks. Took forever today just to put the first coat on the front trim. Because it was assembled on site paint was an extra 600 bucks. I think that is their 'we don't want to paint it on site price'. I should have paid it.

Yes it is. However, now that it is in place and I look at the topography I believe I will be able to easily back it in with reverse. It is not going to be uphill hardly at all. The guys that built it were pretty amazing. It had to be built on site because of it's location. Yes they arrived with everything precut....but damn, 2 hours and they were done and gone.

Beaver Tails are the most amazing bakery treat ever. Basically a pizza made with donut dough with amazing toppings. Deb and I first discovered them on a trip in Quebec City. Pauly and I were going to do an Iron Butt to St Sault Marie Canada for them, but then COVID hit. They are that good. Apple is best, banana and chocolate is a very close second. https://beavertails.com/products/ The current plan is the Saturday after Labor Day. Round trip Niagara on the Canadian side. 225 miles each way. All freeway 10 to 15 over. To go to Canada you need proof of vaccination and have to do this precheck thing in an app. And have a valid passport. If interested LMK.

So, as a consultant you would be 1099 I assume. So you have to pay both half's of social security. Also, what you earn will be deducted from your social security. There are rules on that.....check into it. I think it only hits the month you get paid by them. I am basing my answer on the Google range of 85 to 125 for that job. Look at your old salary and turn it into an hourly rate. Double it and round up to the next 100. Then keep rounding up to a minimum of 200 per hour. 250 sounds better to me. And they pay you for prep time to build the class. And your travel time. And you tell them what days. None of this Monday, Wednesday, Friday crap. It's days in a row so your time off isn't all chopped up. Otherwise, tell them they can blow you.

Starting to lean towards something like the below, then add some steel/aluminum plates under the centerstand area. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Coin-10-ft-Wide-x-Your-Choice-Length-Grey-Commercial-Grade-Vinyl-Flooring-HK70CN10X1SG/204820743

I am considering a large TV at the back. In the winter I can sit on the bike, make vroom vroom sounds and play videos of country roads on the screen. Wing-shed? I am thinking Wing-Palace.

In my quest to be like @Howabusa I will shortly have a large dedicated shed for my Wing. It will be getting a nice interior with light and heat and tunes and pin up girls. My question is flooring. It has a really thick wood floor, but I want to step it up. Something that will clean up well, and survive the centerstand decently. I am thinking RaceDeck or GarageTrac, but wanted to ask those that have gone before me what they did.
