I know about messes. But it looks like your shop is pretty dang big.
It's My bae at work. We're closed this week so my boss told me to work on my car. I don't think he knows I was going to rebuild an engine on his car-o-liner lol
Decided that having the drain line laid off to the side as shown in the pictures could represent a opportunity for it to vibrate while the compressor was givin" "er, so
Bill of Materials
1 short chunk of 2 x2, orphan leftover from some other project
1 section of flat foam, who knows??
1 tube of Gloozit, oddly enough still useable after the winter cold
11 short section of metal perf strip strapping, cut from a bulk roll of the suff
2 #12 x 3/4 Rd Head Machine screws
2 3/16" hole size flat washers
All just bits and pieces, "stuff" hanging around the basement shop with the exception of the wood chunk and foam.
Assembly: Glue foam to wood; let dry, trim foam. Identify locations and drill holes for the screws, add one washer to each screw and secure strap in place. Leave one side loose to allow cradle to be slid into position under s/s nipple between the 90 deg ell and the ball valve.
Done.
Next item was to deploy the ladder and head on up to the top of the main door. Used a putty knife and some patience to extract the home made gasket that I created out of masking tape, lengths of wax paper, and spray foam. Whole thing came out in one long length. Popped the door fully open to check the carnage in the back lane, swept up the leftover debris from making the gasket in the first place.
Got the non G-Body G-body to go back into park; still have to visit the linkage at the shifter knuckle and tweak it a little. Put the ladder away; closed the door and checked that the top panel had reset itself okay, no light along the upper edge. Kool

Left one of the garage doors open for hours with the heater running after getting the girls' bikes setup, and getting distracted by my youngest having a meltdown about not being proficient. Then I got back to working on Natasha's Z28 and forgot all about it. No one thought to remind me that I left the door open. My mistake, but we all had a talk about reminding the old man about important things. Shop is also now full of dried leaves. FFS.
Coffee yes breakfast tacos no. That's a blue shop towel the disposable kind soak with engine grime

Bought a 12x20 Shed to store all my yard tools, chain saws, etc. The bicycles, go karts, quads, etc. I bought it unsided so I can side it to match the house. I had enough to do a short and long side, still need almost 3 square. The siding comes 2 square a box, and is special order so I had to buy it by the box. Looks like I'll have more extra. Still hasn't come in yet so I'll get pictures later.

Booked the lift install for next Wednesday. Fingers crossed I am not going to be buying a wall mount garage door opener too.
Now I just need to put the Kitty back together and get the Monte down and out of the way.

would suck to have to replace a (presumably) perfectly functional garage door opener. But I got the jackshaft type for my garage and man, those are so nice and quite
