I'm calling November 4th, 2018 as the official "done" date for this project. We'll tinker over the winter with it (new grill top of the list) but as far as we're concerned, the heavy lifting is done. Time for Jr. to have fun with it as weather permits. It has come a long way from the grave.
Thanks everyone for the support and following along this year. I'm pooped. Going to take the winter off then get back to my Bird in the spring.
