We used to stack in between trees in a row of pine trees on the ground but I remember the bottom row sometimes shitty but can't remember what was done to prevent it... long time ago

When I first move from a snow and ice region to southern California I was amazed at all the older rust free cars. My daily is now a 1999 Subaru Legacy.

If you intend to set up a buffet for termites, you don't need a floor.

Also, your woodshed should be thought of as a facility for seasoning your wood, not just storing it. So it needs excellent ventilation and protection from ground moisture.

Right, no need to put in a whole actual floor.

No worries! And when you said jury-rigged I was thinking like rigging a jury. Like for a court case. haha

Also, a crazy coincidence, I was just searching for something and was scanning through one of the links I clicked and I see this: https://imgur.com/cS24S1t

Looks great good job man

Oohhh please post the video!!

Honestly, in America, you can drive whatever piece of shit you want. In a few (very few) places you can get refused registration for emissions/pollution stuff, but if you're borderline you can cheat that system, too.

It can be frightening knowing what's on the road over here. Check out /r/Justrolledintotheshop

The gravel and pallets idea is solid, but I would also suggest for a nominal fee, cinder blocks. I use 2x4's instead of pallets, but either is fine. Cinder blocks just keep it completely off the ground so no need to worry about drainage.

If you can score some plastic milk crates or 20oz soda flats, even better for the floor. Super strong. Won’t ever rot. Can rinse and reset as needed over time. Worked under moms woodpile for 15 years or more.

I've futzed around with polishing kits before, but nothing beats the clarity of brand new plastic. I replaced the whole headlamp assembly on both sides. They were very reasonably priced, and included bulbs: https://www.carparts.com/details/toyota/highlander/replacement/headlight/2003/set-t100111.html

Typically, the newer the car, the more expensive the headlights will be. If her car was 10 years newer, I'd have paid $250 for a pair of headlights.

I agree, and you're definitely right about the headlights. I didn't go into this in the image comments, but finding the body panels was pretty tough... there is a surprising lack of Highlanders at wrecking yards. Maybe they're still all on the road? So I thought, I'll just get the headlights and that will be good enough. But it was like putting lipstick on a pig; they looked so great that it made the hail damage look that much worse. So I ended up getting a hood and fenders that were less than perfect, but they look a heck of a lot better than what was on the car.

Dude what a nice thing to do. It was already going to last hundreds of thousands more miles, now it’ll look good doing it.

Nice work! It looks so much better! But i always wonder why one would drive a car like that in the first place. That should not pass any regular safety tests whatsoever with the blond headlights and a damaged frame. In Germany our cars have to pass several tests every two years. Blind headlights? You're out. Damaged frame? You're out. Leaking oil? You're out. Worn brakes? You're out. List can go on days.

can I see a picture of this?

Dig up a couple inches of soil and put some geotech fabric under the stone. It'll stop the stones from being quickly absorbed in the mud and needing to be replaced every few years.

If you can find them then plastic pallets are the bees knees. They are 4x4 and I used 4 of them to build a 16ft lean-to for my firewood. Then in the 4 corners and also directly in the middle I put concrete block that's shaped kinda like a pyramid but in the center is a hole cut out for a 4x4 post. Start building upwards and tying it altogether with 2x12s that I had lying around. Set the pitch, add some roof purlins and then steel roofing. The way I have mine setup I can fit just about 2.5 full cord in it.

Did you replace the head light plastic or just clean them? I want my head lights to look like this again.

Just put gravel down. Might want to use pallets or a couple of boards under the firewood stacks just to prevent ground contact.

Do Pressure treated runners and you are good.

Wow that's interesting, now that you mention it, outside of fallout I've heard people say "Jerry rigged" but for some reason the fallout use "jury" never seemed off to me.

Thanks for sharing what you learned! (:

Interesting! I'm from the mid-atlantic US and we always said "jerry-rigged". I just looked it up and found this:

>The word jerry-rigged may be a blend of jury-rigged and jerry-built, or it may be a variant pronunciation or spelling of jury-rigged. Jerry-rigged is found by the late 19th-century.

> In everyday speech, the word jerry-rig is widely used, though some sticklers insist that it’s incorrect. It’s sometimes used in journalism as well. Its definition is the same as jury-rigged.

So I'd say you are more correct than I since "jerry-rigged" seems to be derived jury-rigged and jerry-built (never heard that one). although jerry-rigged has been used since at least the late 1800's, it's probably more regional and hasn't been used as long as jury-rigged.

Glad to have left my earlier comment, learned something new today! :)

Pallets wick up a lot of moisture, if you’re doing to do that, raise them on bricks

According to Google jury rigging is the right term? Jury rigged is just the past tense form
