    Habitat Flooring

    Another reason I'd like to lay it all down first and build over it is that I don't see how this innerlok (tongue-and-groove) stuff will stay down w/o being glued. One good logging trail and it's JINGA! Having some clamping force retaining (ie: the counter frame, dresser, shower wall, etc) will...

    Habitat Flooring

    I have my flooring (four boxes left over from a project that I picked up cheap), my underlayment, and I'm dropping section of electric floor heating element under the center section. I've seen some builds where they lay the floor down in the entire hab and build over it, and some where they...

    I wish I had known about these before I got so far into the project. Saw one at my buddy's house today as he was ripping plywood for hurricane covers. He had a piece of foam board on the centipede and burned thru a dozen cuts in no time. I'm still gonna get one.

    I'm liking that idea. I don't expect to be on the roof a whole lot (most of my bikini watchig is actually done from the shade in the trailer). I have the bed ladder for the M1082 as well as a Lowes step ladder that stows under the trailer. But "one ladder to rule them all" might be the way to...

    Yeah, I'll stain and clear coat all the natural finish stuff. All frame structures are getting sealed followed by gloss white Rustoleum then a coat of clear. The walls will also be gloss white with a clear coat. I'll be sure to link you the auction for the hand rails if they come off. I was...

    Next job is to cut the access port and land the water heater. Then frame and hang my cabinets. I'll take Sept off to go fishin with it and if I'm happy with the layout, I'll gut it all and prep for paint/flooring.

    Bed frame is rebuilt. Included access to get to tank, fittings, pump. Still waiting on the sliding door track that will cover the opening right of the tank (I have military footlockers that fit under the bed). Water tank has it's new home and ready to plumb. Pump enclosure is behind the tank...

    Yeah. I track what your saying, I really do ( two CS degrees, retired IT, system admin for 12 years, web designer, help desk, and moderated untold tech forums). Or I can just hold discussions here and document the build on a platform more suited for that type of publication. I prefer the later...

    Oh, I'll still be posting the discussion here. But it is hard to document/follow build threads with nested discussion.

    Just the opposite. I'm leaving this one for just such discussions. I'll do an actual build documentation on something with a separate comment section so as not to detour from the actual build/progress/components. Something like Instagram (but not liberally biased/owned)). :)

    Hence the flow rate calculator results that I posted. Most residential spickets produce 45-50psi at the outlet (which degrades depending on hose size/length). But I follow your point. I'm just not sure it will be an issue for me. I can fill my tank in just over 3 mins.

    Na, but thanks. A discussion setting isn't really ever the ideal for documenting a specific build. It's great for feedback but it easily strays off topic. I'll relocate the actual build thread to another non-threaded site.

    Revisiting this comment. Not sure why gravity feed from a hose would be any slower than connecting the same hose to an inlet. The gravity inlet and tank opening is 1.5" going in which is larger than a garden hose. Even at full pressure and garden hose can only move so much water. In any...

    Anyone know where to find tempered glass tilt out windows?

    Lots of options from the EU, but taxes, shipping, yadda, yadda. And they are always way over priced.
