Thanks Oldie, I seem to remember this same advice from you before. ( Kinda wondered where that thought came from when it popped in). I did some rolling, and some stopping, and some rolling, and some rocking. Might have had the remaining nuts too tight (scared), but no go. I'll get it.

The tranny fluid/acetone/ brake fluid mix did 4 out of 5. I tried the wax on the last one ( After all hope and failed). No go. Tried it with a lighter method as seen on youtube. No go. This nut was made by satan for satan on ......... I'm not going to say it a third time. Thank God I don't have to work tomorrow while I'm working tomorrow.

In other news, finished the ceiling today. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. When you remodel you learn how not square your house is.




Tomorrow they sand the wood floors. Monday the finish them. Friday carpet the office. We are on a roll.
That's looking good!!!

Oh and if your house was square yesterday there's a chance it's not today.

Al's Rule of old house remodeling : Anytime you build something straight , level or plumb...you're screwed!
So you have learned the meaning of "go with the flow".
