if you were to double up the ply wood floor i bet you could work on cars in there lol
a friend bought one of them pre fabbed shed/garages for his car. thing was built well. he had power ran to it too.
nice bill when is mine getting dropped off? lol
So I'm finally getting around to flushing my coolant after running dex and green coolant for about a year and a half. Ask captbreakalot it looked yummy. We have well water, will it hurt anything?

minerals is bad...
You can either boil the water off, or just go to the store and buy a few gallons of distilled water.
Maybe I'll visit someone who has city water lol

City water isn't much better. A gallon of distilled water at the grocery store is usually only a few dollars. Doesn't have to be any special name brand.
if I bought distilled would I just empty the rad then fill it with distilled then empty it it again then fill a gallon of pure green then fill the rest with distilled. After I did the same to flush the block? And heater core? Or just fill the system with distilled water no tstat then run it for a few days pull lower rad hose drain. Fill with coolant and distilled water

If you're using dex again use distilled. City water will work fine with green.
Im gonna replace with green, I kinda thought well water would have too many minerals in it.

I wouldn't ever put well water in a cooling system, yeah keep a few gallon jugs in the car and next time you go in the city get some water. Or more depending on how much you want to flush. Or find a friend in the city and perform the flush there lol
I think im gonna pull the lower rad hose, pour a gallon through the block, then rad to flush it. Re connect rad house fill it will water and take the tstat out run it a day then pull the hose again and fill with coolant and top it off with distilled as needed. Im assuming I still need to run a tstat gasket but without a tstat in it right.

Yeah you still need the gasket, but leave it in though. It running at higher temps will only break up more of the crud. How bad is it? I had a system that was horrible, flushed everything well with a hose but after 6 months some is resurfacing that is breaking off the surfaces of the cooling system. I'm going to fully flush it again, leave the water/t-stat in and add cleaner, run it like that for a week then flush one last time and add the antifreeze.
I dont think is bad it just needs flushed because I added green to the dex. Im not getting abnormal temps or anything and the heater works strong.

The rad cap when taken off is mostly green but has the sparkles in it.

Yeah my uncle mixed green and dex causing the sludge. His ran at normal temps and the heater worked, but looked like this

The thing that led me to check the system was the P0128 code, and the system went in a vacuum when shut off for a while (rad cap not letting coolant back in the system)
I might just flush the system with the well water then empty it and refill with distilled/green you think that would be fine or still be just as bad? Mine isn't that bad I'll take a pic tomorrow.
