Stop in for a cup of coffee

Soo.. here is a perfect glimpse into how my life works... not much to do today, decided time to start getting interior **** done.. i get the carpet fitted, went great.. took my time.. I have to drill 2 holes to mount the gas pedal... ******* drill grabs a thread and unweaves the carpet...
I swear no matter how much i spend or how nice i try to make something, i will always **** it up.

I need new sill plates.. but at 300+ a pair.. that's gonna be much later

I think all of us have made that mistake in the past. What I have found works best, is take a large strait handled awl and heat it with a torch or propane torch. Use the awl to burn through the carpet and into the hole , without unravelling the carpet... :thumbsup:
