Closet Shelving

I build uprights and cross pieces out of white PVC pipe, and constructed a framework right in the closet. It's a snug fit so it doesn't move. Then plywood shelves were added, and after a trip, lips...

Outback Experience

Our experience with Joe Thoen et. al. and Outback trailers has been very good. We took our 77 Trillium 4500 there despite the negative reviews because he did good work for us on a Boler about 8 years...

PVC replacing wood around windows

Well, I did find some PVC planks at Home Depot, and a friend with a table saw, so was able to replace my first window without using wood.

Thanks, Thrifty Bill. The wood I removed looked pretty good, but some of the screws I removed were rusted, so water must have been in there sometime. I don't want musty smells.
