Not a Garage

Well, haven't been doing much with the Caddy because I am working on building a shed.



No, it's not a garage, but it will be housing spare parts and tools for the Eldorado.

I thought I'd get the shed finished this week, but things are taking longer than I expected. About four more weekends worth of work I think - roofing, building doors, siding, painting.

Been rainy the last few days, but got the Caddy out earlier this week to run some errands and just do some cruisin'.

Brakes

I broke down and took the Eldorado into the shop last week to have the brakes worked on. That squeal was driving me crazy and it doesn't look like I'm going to have time to work on them anytime soon.

So, $483.30 later, I have new brakes. Yay! $242 of that was labor, which is quite an incentive to do stuff myself. But, they got it done in one day - who knows how long it would have taken me?

Anyway, I got new brake pads and rotors on the front wheels,and new shoes on the rear brakes.

No more squeal!
