    Unique Murphy Bed Installation

    Van, thank you so much for the link to Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater and Outdoor Shower.  That is exactly what I will need.  I have had tankless (or point of use) water heaters, but didn't know a portable model was made. :D :D  Looking forward to your shower details.

    Unique Murphy Bed Installation

    At your <a href="https://cargovanconversion.com/"><b>SITE</b></a> a CFL bulb is pictured.  That doesn't indicate you will be using them, does it?  Is there a link for your washroom plans? OOps, I read further and answered my own questions.

    VannaBelle...under construction..

    The Murphy is great.  Such an arrangement would force me to keep the desktop free of anything Sophia (5 lb dog) could chew, like the $50 bill she managed to chew away the serial # on. If I can't find a reasonable van/MH to replace Greybeard, I would consider a hightop to be built with just such...

    Get rid of as much as possible before starting!

    Great way to think about it MrNoodly.  It was difficult to do, but I gave my kids just about all the paintings and sculptures I had from my late fine artist spouse.  Needless to say, they were happy to receive their inheritance early. :D As for parting with it, we can't take it with us, as the...

    Methuselah Remodel

    Tina, Can you salvage things like the cupboards and fixtures?  It may not sell for much, so salvage may get you at least some benefit for your future build. Glad you like the name Greybeard.  I connected with that name, and will continue to use it no matter what I end up with.  I'm even working...

    I'm so happy to have discovered your videos.  You are a craftsman and a gentleman!  It brings back memories of watching my world-class artist/sculptor/designer husband of almost 50 years, as he created wonders..

    Methuselah Remodel

    I just received my OXO pour over coffee gizmo, and whole bean coffee.  Later this evening, I'll make a cup to see how it goes.  So cool, the water tank controls the water flow for better brew. I also received the personal "Wee Jug"  whiuch I will try tomorrow if it's cool enough for Sophia and...

    Has anyone tried cat litter?

    I don't get it.  Cut the bottom out of a pail, place over human litter tray, perhaps have a seat attached, then make a deposit into the tray.  Won't the tray need another bucket to dump the junk into for carrying away?   I've read many many solutions here and elsewhere, but I haven't seen any...

    Has anyone tried cat litter?

    Hi Vagabond, My YorkiePoo uses clumping litter.  Her box is right next to my easy chair, which makes it so easy to reach down and scoop her wet or dry deposits as soon as she makes them,.  It's perfect, but litter is heavy, even  with a tiny 5 pound critter. Why not a comfy seat on a bucket...

    Where do you have your propane tank?

    Hi Chez, My daughter and I toured Amish homes when we visited Lancaster PA.  We saw the type <a hred="http://www.ohiosamishcountry.com/article/lighting-in-an-amish-home.html"><b>LP</b></a> lamp in this article, a bit surprising.   I'm sure if Amish homes were blowing up, it would reach the news...

    My Non-Build Van Build!! Take note ladies!

    WanderWoman, You haven't posted lately.  You're an inspiration for "minimal" build and ideas.  Hope you'll let us see more of your ideas.  BYW I think ridges in metal is for strength. (Note:  I need to find another Greybeard.  The original is no longer available.) :@

    No, so I have to assume either he plans to keep the van, or phoned another interested person, and sold it.  I don't have his contact information, or I could call and close the book on this particular unit. I* saw so many unique possibilities with this 1987 van, and the fact it won't be fried...

    My new plan for an indoor cooktop

    Your experiments say a lot about the steamer.  I'd say it's as perfect as such a product can get. the company should pay you for this honest assessment of their product. :D Amd bTW, thank you so much.

    My new plan for an indoor cooktop

    OK, important to whether I do buy the steamer,,,, does that mean the unit will not crack ANY eggs that are cooked for the least amount of time? Soft Boiled?  The oozing out the pin hole sounds like a possible mess inside the machine.

    My new plan for an indoor cooktop

    Have you tried to steam anything in the top area?  Also, the non-pierced egg that cracked, were you cooking it the least amount or most amount of time? The steamer sounds fantastic, and I'll get one eventually.
