So much for forward movement

Knew I shouldn't have written that post the other day.

Today, the Camaro blew a head gasket. Had to have it towed home. 

Again, the parts aren't expensive but it's a time consuming task. In addition, the starter gear seems to be completely stripped. That's more expensive than the head gasket. However, long as I'm at it, going to go ahead and replace all of the lifters and push rods. Prevent having to take it apart again for a long time.

If I had the money, I would just replace both cylinder heads. Can't afford that right now. 

Of course, the time spent on this will take away from the time needed for the solarium. 

Going to replace the radiator on the truck this week. Just to have something to pick up and drop daughter off until I'm done with the car. 

Picked up a new space heater dor daughter's room today. It's a good one, false fireplace kind that blows heat out the bottom. We have one of those currently in my bedroom. She finds it calming. 

She's in her room now, reading. Wanted to stay up late tonight. That's okay, since the time change is tonight. Getting accustomed to her room and excited about it. I did make sure the painting is all soothing colors. 

Got some tile to lay in front of the fireplace. The stucco is too hard to keep clean and looks ugly. I can work on that at night. Should only take one evening to finish. Under $20 including sealer.
