How's your day going?

I have a check engine light that comes on every so often. Heater core and I'm in the middle of summer with the engine temp being perfect.....go figure.

Mine will often do the same, but had been constantly on since my oil pressure gauge failed. So I couldn't pass the emissions (check engine light is an automatic fail), renew my registration, and my remote start wouldn't work. All those are thankfully in the rear view now.

Find you a state where they can't spell 'inspection' (like MS)

For as much of a "liberal haven / California wannabe" as Minnesota can be, we surprisingly do not have required emissions tests.

Hopefully that doesn't change anytime soon.

Rather surprising since I'm sure they test the cows for emissions.

we have solid wood core doors throughout the house. however - they were all cut to accommodate the old THICK carpet. So once we pulled it all and put the new flooring down, every interior door has a huge gap. The wife couldn't stand that - or the style (six panel doors). So I've started to replace them with cheap hollow core doors and got the first few done yesterday. I'm doing full pre-hung stuff. Got the two closets in my son's room done. Have the two doors that leave his room to do.

We also picked up one of the exterior doors that has to be done (they all do - this is the second of five). It'll be delivered in a few weeks. Its probably the worst door in the house for seal purposes. You can see daylight above and below and they've cleared had water intrusion in the past. So we'll get that sorted out.

once i get the two doors hung in my son's room - we'll put in all of the trim and baseboard and it'll be our first fully completed room

I would have replaced it with 70's shag just keep those solid doors. Hollow core doors are absolute trash.....imho Seriously I would have added extra padding to mitigate that gap. Back in my younger days with the Mrs there was nothing better than getting a rug burn in the morning while watching Austin Powers the Shag who Loved me.

I just go with the flow my friend There is very little carpet left in the house (and its just area rugs put down) There was no saving those gaps

and yeah re: the hollow core doors. we'd have preferred solid. but she wants to make quick progress and didn't like any of the solid core stuff she could find locally.

I'm home alone with a fridge full of beer and horses, chickens, cats, and dogs to take care of.
Thank God for the beer, cuz my wife has quite the accumulation of creatures.

I hate it when the animals drink all the beer up and get drunk. Kick them out of the house it will teach them a lesson.
