    For anyone that may have been following this, Ive been trying to raise money to get the van done but Rochester NY is apparently not the place to try to be a tattoo artist and I havent been able to travel in 6-7 months to the clients I do have in other states, so its been slow going. I started...

    Mounting solar on fiberglass high top

    I have a friend who used Scotch extreme exterior mounting tape to mount his panels to the top of his fiberglass shell on his rv. This is the second vehicle he used it and has never had a problem with it coming undone. Just a thought.

    Ill be doing as much of the mechanical work as I can, my backyard mechanic skills are fair and google helps alot.

    So on happy notes the kitty turned up happy and healthy, I got my hands on a pneumatic cutting wheel which did the job on cutting the lip off the old water heater so that I could put the panel back on the rv and not have a 1'x1' hole in the side of it. Tomorrow is stove fridge and furnace...

    So for anyone interested in an update, no I have no pics yet. Long and short of it, the gutting of the coach has been a PITA every step of the way and Im only about half done, the bathroom reeks like human poop and Im wondering how disgusting it will be to just rip the black tank and bathroom...

    Am I the only one that misses standing up?

    Im rehabbing a 77 dodge chinook class b, the whole reason I love it and am willing to put the work into it is the fact that at 6'3 I can stand full height anywhere in the back.

    Temporary Car-Dwelling in a Pontiac Sunfire oh my

    In the mid 90's myself and my ferret were put into a spot of living in my 87 chevy cavalier hatchback for roughly 3 months. I was in a fairly rural part of SC at the time, finding out of the way spots to park and sleep was never too much of an issue and my boss at the time knew my situation and...

    There will be pictures, I really like documenting my projects, though my joy of today has been burdened with the sadness of the loss of my "real" mother ( I have a "real" mother and a new mom, long story). so the project may have to fall on the back burners. In a wierd way I feel its all kind...

    Thanks for the welcome storm, Im currently in webster though my location around the rochester area seems to bounce about the last couple years. Been rather nomadic my whole life, once I get the rehab on the chinook finished I guess Ill just be making it official, and will definitely be more...
