That $450 inspection fee is the part that gets me, since they already know they're gonna quote you a huge number whether you buy it or not. Did the guy even go outside to look at the grade or the gutters, or did he just stare at the wall and start adding up piers?

Procore is great if you have a dedicated IT person and deep pockets. For a small shop, Nektar is the way to go. It's intuitive and you can be up and running in a day. The mobile app is solid for the field. No brainer really.

Man, a buddy of mine went through the exact same mess with his K1000 last year, stripped two screws and ended up drilling one out with a busted bit. He finally grabbed a JIS set off Amazon for like 20 bucks and the next teardown went smooth as butter. It's wild how much trouble one wrong screwdriver tip can cause on these old bodies.
