Working in the cold is lousy. I don’t mind maintenance, but unless I can work off my heating floor in the garage, and the bedroom carpet I recently took out, and put on the garage floor for now, I’m not into it..hahaha Spent to much time in my younger years in a collision shop on my knees to often.. It’s pretty simple, but I enjoyed watching you bust your knuckles first…haha.

I had it out with the manufacturer about the piss poor design, I got know where. And when you call- you get “For English Press Two” not one like the rest of the country ?
