I want to do as much as I can while everything is off the front end. The reason I am retired from the military and police so young is because of rheumatism and I can only do so much bending leaning and stooping before I start hurting.
I feel your pain. I was medically retired on disability at age 47 ( bilateral foraminal stenosis). That is why I put anything I do on sawhorses. That way I don’t have to bend or stoop. Both Lowes and Home Depot sell sawhorses rated for 1,000lbs each(2,000lbs per pair). When I finally get the Cat’s frame home( hopefully this fall), it will be going on two sets.
