Am thinking radio near the tv so we can hear it outside without turning it up TOO loud.

The guitar was one of the options, didn't you see it? ;-)

I just noticed the TV Gretchen, not being much of a TV person. Gail noticed it though, she likes TV. I'm not interested in a radio, being an inveterate iPod user, but do find radios useful sometimes. Are you looking at a 12V auto radio or 110V unit?

We both like the mirror, it looks great and balances very nicely. Mirrors make small places look bigger.

We were told when we bought #006 used that it had most all the options. Nobody mentioned guitars! Actually it's my 2 youngest sons who love to play. We keep an acoustic here just for when they visit.

Keep us posted on projects!

I Love the pom poms on the window shades….

Looks Great! I like the idea of changing the knobs... now I need to start looking for new ones lol

[Tammie]

Fern is lovely! The green knobs and fridge really give her a retro look.
Hope you didn't get the storms that had us hunkered down in our basement last night. Fern's cousin Esio had to sit outside in the driveway. Round two tonight.

Boy oh boy, good luck all you folks with eggs in the path of these violent storms. If nothing else, if it's a bad hail storm, eggs will survive outside where lesser trailers will not! All we have for cover is a Calmark Sunbrella cover. Maybe I should give some thought to a carport again...

[Tammie]

Thanks, Frank!
I wish we had covered storage, too. We just have the ADCO cover from CW. Not much we can do to protect against against tornadoes around here, but maybe from hail. I've seen cars totalled by softball-sized hail, so we slid a 4'x8' sheet of styrofoam insulation onto the roof of the ParkLiner, under the cover, hoping to blunt the impact. You're right, though, I think fiberglass is better to begin with.

[frank_a]

That sheet of insulation is a great idea Tammie! Best of luck with this stupid weather!

Tammie, Just curious where about you live in Alabama. We live in the "suburbs" of Notasulga (out in the sticks of north Macon County) and spent 2:30-3:30 a.m. this morning in our underground storm shelter with our three dogs while the storm passed over us. Our egg was anchored down using chains in a shed with tin roofing but open sides. Luckily no tornado or hail with all that high wind and rain - and no damage to us, the dogs or our egg. We'll see what round #2 brings tonight. It won't be long before we transition from tornado season to hurricane season! Ya gotta love living in the South! Stay safe.... Dale

[Tammie]

We're in the 'burbs south of Birmingham, just up 280 from you. Our tornado warning sounded around 11 til midnight before it moved east toward you. No scrambled eggs, thank you!

[Borrego Dave]

Tammie your idea of using styrofoam works great. Years ago I had a problem with someone hitting golfballs into the storage lot I had my class A in and ended up with a broken side window. I made up some window covers with one inch thick styrofoam inside and never had another problem. I did test the styro first with a golfball......only made a small dent in it. BTW the MH had fiberglass sides and roof and if it had been hit by any of the balls I never saw any marks from them. Fiberglass is some tuff stuff.

Gretchen, Your Parkliner looks great. Looks like you are really enjoying it - Congratulations! Kevin

Gail saw pictures of the interior of Gretchen's ParkLiner & now I'm installing cable stuff for a TV...

[Gretchen]

Just a some rain here, not bad in middle TN. We kicked the cars out of the carport for now and put Fern under it! She is worth more than both of them anyway!

[Gretchen]

In case your wondering, I screwed the TV mount thru the cabinet to a piece of 1 x 4 inside, than also a piece of 1 x 4 outside and a slice if a 2 x 4 under it. Should keep it stable. Don't screw into those white square columns on the sides, they have wire, pipes etc going thru them! Am going to pain it white so it doesn't stick out.

Good you have a carport you can put your ParkLiner under Gretchen! These trailers are tall! I am still considering a carport for 006. Problem is all it's been doing is raining, and I still need to finish waxing it, plus got a bunch of other stuff to do. Squeezed for time!

[Gretchen]

Kevin, I was wondering if you got yours last weekend??

Ya know Gretchen, I had not started wondering, but as always, your advice is very much appreciated. We have the perfect little lightweight flat screen TV in our guest room that we're going to mount in the ParkLiner right where you mounted yours. We ordered a mount for it from Amazon (and a cable outlet for the trailer), so once the raindrops stop here I can get in it and take a look at the space there.

By the way, after losing the microwave on the way home from NJ last September, I am a bit concerned about stability!

Thanks for the tips!

Frank

Gretchen, just saw your photos! Love it! Great colour chooses and the way you have dressed up the shades is Great!

Have fun with it, hope the weather improves in your area fast.

[Gretchen]

Hi Frank, THought you might like a pic of how I put the tv up. Worked out well. Feels sturdy.

ps. Thanks for sharing about the micorwave, I looked at mine and there are two screws from up underneath, looks like they are going into the bottom of the feet, so should be fine.

Thanks Carol. I am a quilter and those are fabric yo-yos. I have gotten crazy making them. They are so fun and easy, makes great pillow decorations too.

Weather should be real nice this weekend, at least no tornados.
