    Just a slight difference... good for reclaiming space for storage. Drilling holes today and laying things out... I think I got those holes where those directions said to. 😁. Something in the back of my mind keeps calling me with that big round hole... πŸ€”πŸ”ˆ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ₯“πŸ₯“πŸ₯ƒπŸ₯ƒ

    I started seeing a girl named Dana... axle seal replacement is under way. Both axle shafts got new u-joints.

    With the opening cut for the sink it’s time for a faucet. Keeping it simple with a hand pump version. Sanded and applied three coats of Waterlox. The cutting board came with the sink so I'm refinishing it to match better... πŸ™„. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ₯“πŸ₯“πŸ₯ƒπŸ₯ƒ
