been a redneck. My father was a redneck (8th grade education, rural, Nixon, Reagan (gave money), Bush the Elder (money), and Dole (also gave money). But he was an overage WWII vet volunteer who loved FDR; there was a CCC camp in home town that he purchased the site after they left. The local old timers had fond and high regard for the CCC despite being anti and paranoid about government otherwise to this day. I would tell him one cannot love Reagan and love FDR is same head. Certain he would be a Trumper now.

I thought everyone knew a water bottle could be used as a level. Have not jerry rigged specifically with a wrench but have done the exact same thing with a padlock and available metal scrap.
