Il start.. Abra-ka-pocus!
Could not resist, today is first time I feel like im going foreword vs backward.
Congrats, looks like you have been busy and it's always a good feeling to have the tides turned in your favor.!
On another note, do you really trust those cinder blocks?
I must say you have a few more honies than I do.

And that was just angle grinder/brush and power washing!? What the heck do you have for breakfast? I think I need some.
Those concrete blocks the way he has it are pretty stout they hold some where around 2000 psi, the only place we ever filled those with concrete on WalMart stores was where a ceiling joist was kinda scary if you are thinking about running to a WalMart in severe weather

Maybe the blocks I have dealt with in the past were pre-cracked but some of them seemed pretty brittle. I know that the setup in the photos is "probably OK" but they scare me.
I wouldn't be under it for sure,and they will break if not level we weren't allowed to use 1 with a chip larger than dime lol the block manufacture hauled off a load every day most of those ended up being sold at the big box stores like Lowes and HD
They are leveled , they are sitting on a buried cast block , the also have rebar and are poured almost full.
Last week I had to unload an 18K LB portable building from a trailer by myself without a crane or forklift. Had to go full on Egyptian on it.

That's different ...
If they have rebar and are filled...makes me sleep better. But my friend in high school lost his dad because the cinder blocks underneath the car crumbled while he was under it. Blew his shoes right off his feet. Saddest part was his dad was working on his car...so he feels a little guilt even though it wasn't his fault. Anyway, totally off topic, that redo of the wheel well just confirms in my mind that you have an amazing attention to detail. I hope you meet you someday...amazing. I'm loving watching your build...really cool stuff you're doing. If you ever sell your coach, I hope it goes to someone who can appreciate what you're doing to it from the inside out.

Thanks Scott, I really appreciate that! Im sure we will meet one day, I am kind of a lurker at the Arcadia meet if you ever go. I really enjoyed looking at all of your build photos as well, very impressive.
Thanks Todd :) I was at Arcadia last year. Maybe we will be there again sometime :)
