Well the hall is painted and started getting the laminate in, pain in the *** getting the first row going with it going into the doorways, I want to use a thin threshold strip and I had to notch all the thresholds at the bottom to slide the laminate under. Thank god for a 4" grinder and cut off wheels.

I'm supposed to go help my friend Doug with his house later. He's getting off early at noon today to work on it.

I think we need to get the ceiling and walls painted.

then he can put the tile down on the floors and have the carpet installed in the other rooms...

He's trying to get it ready to move in by Nov... :violent1:


He's a little behind schedule, but we're trying to help him catch up... :burnout:

anything you want .....the demon in your avatar would make a good topic lol

I have a cousin who was living in Johannesburg but he recently moved to cape town.

He has nothing but good words about the area ....he really enjoyed his time there. He is a software engineer and his company moved him to Johannesburg where he was there for 2 years and now they moved him to Cape town.

Cape Town is definitely much better to live than Johannesburg.... I stay in Pretoria, even nicer than Jhb! The perception of "The City of Gold" has some historic influence.... People flocked from allover Africa to work in the gold mines there then. The financial/wealth hub has turned into a zest pool of foreigners, each with their own drugs and what-not.

The Demon in my Avatar is known as Valiant Charger in South Africa. Because of sanctions imposed during the 60's/70's/80's, SA had to rely on home grown ingenuity, or for the sake of an Automotive discussion enginuity. Lol!

Great place to chat about anything/everything! I have some questions regarding the US/Canada/Oz, without involving politics.... how this, that's. Not planning on emigrating, only curious?! Anyone have any questions about living in (South) Africa, feel free to ask...I will "enlighten" to the best of my ability!:D

" I have some questions regarding the US/Canada/Oz" and Norway, Sweden, Austria etc.

Nope. No one is on my block or ignore list. Sometimes in threads I just forget to respond to people.

NO.....a scamp has the Plymouth front end so it will be the same as a Plymouth duster.

yours has the demon front end which is the dodge front end ...same as a dodge dart of the same year


yours looks like a 71 ...mega cool

I have a 72 but you can see its not very nice....yet ....someday it will look like yours :D

when I got it, the front end was smashed so I had to piece parts repair it which is why there are so many different colors LOL Fenders came from a 4 door dart and the hood came from even a different dart........... all the correct pieces to make the repair ....I have the valance .....just too lazy to put it on LOL

Good morning!

Looks like it is a three continent morning! Good to see you here, Ters! I'm new to this thread myself but I'm elbowing in more and more. :D

When my wife and I were in SA 15 years ago, we were lead to believe that down town Jo-burg was a really dangerous place so we never left their walled suburban garden the size of 1,5 soccer fields with tennis court and large pool... Cape Town was lovely though. Felt very European, not implying that that would be better than African, just that it was a little surprising. I had tons of preconceptions about SA. Most of them were plain wrong.

Keep in mind, SA models were released locally a year or two after their US cousins. Mine is known as a '73. Mine is far from sweet sir... no brakes, missing trim on C-pillar, a backyard dash etc...:twisted: . She does sound sweet though, 225 with auto box.

Hehehe... ALL of Jhb is dangerous now! Africa is a lovely country to live in. Due to the nature of my work, I travel to many other African countries... Botswana (lovely!), Namibia (lovely!), Swaziland (lovely!), Mozambique (mmm...), Cameroon (....) etc. Must say, South Africa is HOME! Lol! Durban is my favorite though.

Ters.
 
Namibia and Botswana are high on my bucket list. We're planning on taking our kids on a 3-4 week trip to Southern Africa when they are big enough to remember it (and we've saved enough money...) but getting our third child six years after the second sort of postponed that for a few years ...

The Kruger Park should be in everyone's bucket list, btw.
