Skim coat done. I think I'll call this good enough, once it dries I'll do touch ups then sand.

Hoping the weather warms up at some point, I want to epoxy the garage floor so I can at least get that done and start on insulating that at some point. Will be a mostly winter job though but it needs to be warm for epoxy to cure properly.

Going to work on my car early tomorrow. Changing the front struts. I've done quick struts before, but this time I went to Toyota and got the struts. They matched the online price after I told them I would wait if they wouldn't match the price. But I got to swap the spring and hardware from the old strut. Basically, I have to use my coil spring compressor to take the tension so I can take off parts and migrate them to the new strut.

Does it at least hook up to air wrench?

I've got a cordless impact driver that will work just fine. I have had the tools for years. Never used them. I've got a friend who is coming over to assist if necessary.

Air, cordless, corded, doesn't matter. As long as you are not using your hand to turn the gears to compress the spring.

Covfefe done nef.

Might go check if stuff is dry to go do touch ups.

I should probably try to find a way to cover the servers when it comes time to sanding. I might just put a big fan there to hopefully just push the dust away.

Do some people actually change literally just the tire for seasonal changing? I've always had my tires on rims and just change the whole thing, way less trouble.
