I finally got around to building an MFT type workbench top. This has 20mm holes drilled in a precise 96mm matrix, allowing for accurate positioning of materials and for clamping. The first step was to cut a 30" x 60"piece of 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood (at the moment, worth two posts of gold.) The next step was to accurately drill the 20mm holes in a precise matrix. … [Read more...] about MFT Style Worktop
Adding 110 Outlets to our Lance RV Dinette

The shower hose can be stored in a more out of the way … [Read more...] about Lance Trailer Outdoor Shower Upgrade
Cody, Wyoming – Emergency Room
We spent the night at a very quiet and affordable Chief Joseph RV Park. It was a very nice respite from a very expensive and crowded KOA in West Yellowstone. I cooked up some breakfast while Alessandra caught some sunshine. Readying myself for a quick shower, I discovered that the water heater didn't work.
