I have heard that the purpose of time is so that everything doesn't happen at
once. It doesn't seem to be working for me.
I got one side of Murray's suspension off. The king pin with the steering
knuckle and link pins all came off as one. I ruined a metal brake line, so I
get to learn about replacing that. I have taken off the rubber "stub" and
removed the trailing arms and explosed the end of the torsion springs. Derrick
at Wayout gave me a demo, pulling a beam out of a pile and removing the springs
to show me how that all works. It was useful. I was having problems
visuallizing what everybody was telling me.
The difference between the bundle of springs Derrick gave me and the ones that
I have exposed on Murray is that Murrays are welded together. There appears to
be a crack in the weld on both the upper and the lower. There is no other sign
of damage. I will know lots more when I have freed up the other side and
removed the whole set of springs.
Today we are draining the hot tub and clearing off everything on and below the
deck of the house. Tomorrow the first crews will arrive to tear off the deck
and the roof on the front of the house so that they can excavate for the
footings on the new addition. The big rocks will be here tomorrow for the
terracing of the new "backyard" which will have flat spots for busses to park
and camp.They say that they can finish the whole project in 80 days with plenty
of time for Psycoblooie.
We have agreed on the type of windows to give us a glass wall over the lake
side 32' wide and 16' high. The trailer (Penthouse) will move further down the
hillside to make room for the new Bathouse which will have our second bathroom,
sauna, and the new home of the hot tub with access from the "theater".
Have I left anything out?
I hope replacing the torsion spring will fix the sagging passenger side. I
can't figure what else could be responsible. I will hate that, after all this
work, for it not to be the thing.
