The Nissan Leaf on the Farm

-

With tribute to USDA and other government furnished information of the post war advice converting Model-Ts to tractors --"Doodle Bugs". I towed the resurrected rear-ended 2013 Nissan Leaf up to Berkshire, NY from Duluth, GA. It is now in field trials as a farm machine in Upstate NY. Despite the lack of current ground clearance it is performing well in dirt and mud. I will be skidding firewood very soon. https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/08/doodlebug-1923-ford-model-t-tractor/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections/explore/artifact/188731?AssetId=THF811118

"Uh Oh, I don't know if it is going to fit"

I bought a 1-piece shower stall for the guest bath in this old brick house. Normally a one piece fiberglass stall of this size is for new construction only --before walls go up. I thought I might be clever in getting a 36 in x 48 in 1-piece bath stall into a bathroom measuring 54 in x 92 in. The window opening (with sashes and trim out is 36 and 1/2 inches wide). Of course it had to be rotated inside for installation. I am not sure if it was cleverness, a challenge, or needless extra effort. I hope the next remodeler enjoys this post. It made it. Barely. Only, opening the bathroom doors inside is what made it possible. My neighbor came over to help.
