toys-n-yotasKeymasterFor reference, I rented a drywall hoist 6 years ago, paid $75 / week, with $200 security deposit. Had to pick up and return to Mississauga.

Slick_YotaKeymasterThe fuel gauge stopped working Saturday. Checking for loose wires, I found 2 bare wires in the trunk (had to crawl in from behind the seats)… Connections at the fuel tank are ok. Haven’t had time to check what these wires affect yet – hopefully it’s that simple.

toys-n-yotasKeymasterHoping your gauge troubles aren’t the same as Pickup/4Runners where the potentiometer fails in the tank. Gauge reads fine until it passes “that point” and then falls to Empty.

Slick_YotaKeymasterUnfortunately there is a high potential of that. I’m hoping to find a loose wire had let go…

Slick_YotaKeymasterWell, I started the car to move it out of the garage and the fuel gauge was working! I didn’t even do anything, other than wiggle the wires back at the tank…. Whatever, chalked it up as a win and put everything back together after taping up the bare wires I found.

Slick_YotaKeymasterStopped working again…. guess I’ll have to do something about it.

Slick_YotaKeymasterFinished drywalling the garage ceiling. Tape and mud next.
Also installed 6 – 5000 lumen corn LED bulbs. They were on sale at TSC. It’s like daylight in there at night now!

Slick_YotaKeymasterNext project in the garage – tear out the rotten window and all the dry rot below it. Melissa was back at work this week, so perfect opportunity to get some quality time in the garage.

toys-n-yotasKeymasterNice work, did the previous window not open?

Slick_YotaKeymasterNo, it was a sheet of glass framed by 2x4s. Hence why it rotted and everything under it…
