The original house was built in the late 40’s. It’s in pretty rough shape.

No outer bands or proper sills? Never quite seen it on this wise. I've seen 2x10 hardwood floor joist in this area but not anything like that. Am I missing something?

The foundation was added in the early 80’s, and they didn’t do a very good job on it.

The rim joist is behind this plank. But yeah, it’s a mess.

Coal Tar Impregnated Wood Fibre Pipe

Complete junk and used in the 40’s & 50’s as a cheap alternative to other materials available at the time.

Yeah we got a lot of that stuff over here 50 yrs on and it’s starting
To deteriorate in places

I got a HD headlight harness today and a few small stuff.

Then next up is new halogen or led head lights.

What's all that nonsense underneath? Whew...were they making moonshine when they built that?

Are you running sealed bulbs?
I needed to do something. I lost the drive side low beam a while back and readjusted the high beams down.

I'll try and get a before and after.

My kit was 30 bucks. They wanted 35 a piece for the 200mm headlight housing. I've been finding them cheaper on line. Thinking about using led bulbs.

Only bad thing I've heard about them is that they don't make enough heat when it's below freezing.

From what I have seen, just getting the LED bulbs and putting him in a housing doesn’t work as well as the LED complete housings, for conversion I prefer HIDs
