Last October, we went up to an Airbnb cabin in McCall, Idaho. Last Sunday, we went up to another cabin for three nights. After we got there and took some stuff out of the car, we went to the store for some stuff. On Monday, we went into the garage to play with some ofContinue reading “Our Trip To McCall”

A few weeks ago, I started running new wires from the front to the back of the Beep (Power Wagon) for the all the lights. Most of the wiring that was in the Beep when we got it was original rag wire. It’s so old and dried out, if you touch or bend it theContinue reading “Wiring The Beep”

So, I’m going to use some Power WheelsContinue reading “Power Wheel Motors”

The pneumatic hands were always really slow and weak because all the pistons are old, the seal on the inside is dried out, andContinue reading “Lego Technic Hands”

Since January 15th 2024, I have been trying to get my tank to be durable, fast and work properly. Making it durable was the easy part since I just had to add supports and parts connecting the two sides of whatever needed to be reinforced. The speed has always been the hard part though, asContinue reading “End Of The Tank”

For the last few years, I’ve wanted to sort my Lego Technic parts because it takes forever having to dig through all the parts to find the right one. So about 3 weeks ago, I started sorting them by part and not color because I don’t have very many pieces and I don’t really makeContinue reading “Sorting Legos”

The mirrors were glued to the wall, so he watched a few videos on how to remove them without getting glass all over. All we had to do is slowly tap woodenContinue reading “Installing Medicine Cabinets”
