I definitely need to get some things sorted, right now my goal is to get the green truck stripped down and the body hauled to Dallas for Brian. It really freaking hot to be wrenching, but I seriously need to get this done. Lets just figure out what the best date for everyone and get a plan set. The sooner the better.

Per a conversation with Rob -

The only thing that I can think of to ask for help with is the green 4runner, I really need to get it gone but still have a lot of parts stripping to do first. I need the engine out of it and a bunch of other things I plan to eventually swap into my 87. Brian wants the body & frame, I am willing to give it to him if he can haul it away. I have access to my tools but the engine hoist / jack ect is all buried in my shop along with a bunch of other stuff, I practically have to unpack the whole building to get to it. The other things holding me up is time and of course the heat. I'll let you guys know when I can foresee being able to take a break from working on the house and can devote some time to working on it and maybe we can have a parts stripping get together?

Let's start picking a weekend and lining up tools/hardware.

I really appreciate the offers for a hand and I'm good with what ever date is good for the majority. We are pushing to try and get moved back in the house before the kids have to start back in school but I can save any date for this.

Let me warn you all, in case you didn't know, that it is fucking hot! We still do not have the house hooked up with electricity, I have a temp pole that we can run extension cords off and 1 small room with a window unit AC to cool off in but that's it. I have some gold bond powder but it might be a little awkward to share, you should consider bringing some of your own and several changes of clothes. Does anyone have an inflatable kiddie pool? Yeah, cause it's fucking hot. The other thing that I am concerned about is the heat. I have been working in it daily and it really sucks. Anyone who actually comes to this before October is nuts because it is going to be brutal.

I'll see if I can borrow or rent a swamp cooler lol

Do you need help with moving back into the house first?

I appreciate the offer, but I have enough local muscle for the move in and would hate for anyone to drive in from out of town to help move stuff. The big question remains to be will the house be ready for us to move in before school starts..

Too damned hot for doves, unless it cools down significantly before the season opens
