1981 cx500 speedometer repair

A big variety today. I removed the cx500 speedometer to see about fixing the broken/missing glass. Removal was easy. Then I used a dremel tool to cut the stainless band joining the halves together. Now I just need to get a hold of a round cut of glass.

log splitter gets attention

the walls primed

I worked on my log splitter that has sat unused for a year or so. I removed the bowl and float and needle and sprayed cleaner about. It was in good shape since I had stored it properly. It had a piece of badly cracked gas line that I replaced and I reunited it with the ignition key. It started right up.

I also defrosted my refrigerator and finally installed a bar across the door shelf- more storage now with warmer temps coming. Later in the afternoon I did some final sanding on the walls of the old kitchen sink nook, then painted the area with pva primer. Maybe  a finish coat tomorrow. oh, and I made a "gate" to use on the front porch so Petra can go out there.
