Alas the complex is giving me grief for it being parked here while I work on it. I already have a storage space, so it'll go there for a few weeks to placate them...something about 14 days or such.
I used 0000 steel wool on all the glass today on Red to get all the sputs off from storage. Then I decided to see if I could figure out why one of my drawers always sticks. I found a split 1x1 along with staples pulled out and the wall was separated from the framing about 3/8 of an inch under the stove. That was right under where there was a GIANT roof top carrier was mounted when I got it, most likely was overloaded. I took a screw jack and a few 2x4's and slowly pushed the wall back up to where it should be and added some 3" screws into the framing in place of the staples that were used and added another frame piece sistering the split one, again using 2" and 3" screws instead of staples. Pulled the jack out and the sag is gone and all the drawers seem to work better.
