At 530 this evening the dw told me our Saturday morning plans to go into downtown Los Angeles to shop were off.
I was going to drive the dw and mil downtown to get some supplies for the mil's 80th birthday party. LA sucks but I would gladly take them to make them happy. After hearing this I decided this weekend will be the install time.
So instead of sitting on my butt and watching tv I decided to start after hearing this great news.
Moved the carpet out of the way and tried drilling the pilot hole with a 1/8 bit. Brake pedal was in the way and couldn't get it started. You are supposed to enlarge the hole to 3/16 after making sure nothing is in the way at the firewall. I took some measurements and was confident nothing was in the way. I just happen to have a 12" long 3/16 drill bit. I don't know why or when I bought it but it worked perfect. Drilled the hole and got the cable connection installed. I couldn't tighten it up by myself. The cable kept spinning. Got the dw to help but that didn't go so well. I'll find a neighbor tomorrow to help me get it tightened up.
It got to dark to do anything else. I think the hard part is done. I'll finish it up tomorrow.
