The Co-op: It,s tire truing day for me…….

Not that I’ve been avoiding it but today I have 3 coaches of tires…that’s 18 tires to true and balance.   What’s that u may ask and how is it done?  Here is my Amermac 711 vintage I’d call it now, tire truing and balancing machine. .There is more information about this unique tire set up process on the web site…..basically the only real way to have something perfectly round is to turn it on a lathe.  This it a tire lathe that will make a tire/rim assembly round then with a static balance the tire is round….less friction and wear but also gets rid of several vibration issues in the coach.  Ill do pics today on my sweatfest!  Oh, BTW Cedric, the first set is for Ruby……. She’s been in hover mode kind enough …  I think it’s time to put on her slippers and see how here legs are doing…..stay tuned…

Jared and the guys are putting Texas Tux new bathroom in.  From texturing the fitted cabinet parts and putting on its texture finish   The original plumbing has to be rerouted.  Check out the sculpture that was a drain in the original Birchaven tub drain and vent .  gonna keep that artwork!  All of that plus the hot and cold fresh water plumbing is being replaced.   The Tuxter himself still in hover mode will comedown soon to.  Be has a date with the lift for a Monster transmission, FiTech fuel injection, new single tank sewer system and other stuff so stay tuned for that stuff too.   Ok, I want to be sweating with the truing machine when the guys get in….see ya later….
