Don't laugh! At least too hard. I had to have a way to work out of the sun and to protect from the rain. No it won't withstand hurricane force winds, but it does work. If a strong wind does blow it away, somebody else can enjoy it.  ;D
I am finally working on the rusted breasplate, thought I might as well prep the front as well. That way when I apply the paint, the front will be ready. I figure at this rate, it might be ready for Texas Bus Roundup 2008! LOL



Happy Trails,

Paul

Dreamscape,

The lower curbside window in the door is a great idea. That would be so very convenient to have. I often have to crack my door to see where I am in relation to the curb or objects on that side. I have a window like that on my wish list.

Very nice,

Paul,

That story might work with the Wife, But we who know better, think you may have picked this up

from some unsuspecting turn into the wrong driveway!  ;D

Its time to come clean while you can!  ::)

I used 1 1/2 pvc, glued joints, hung tarp, anchored with rope. Its' temporary, at least for now. That way I can use some of the pipe for sink drains. Gotta have this ready for September, at least the front. My wife said, I thought we were going to do the interior first, I said, if we want to keep the rain out this has to be first. I won! Wonder how long that will last.  ;D

The lower window in the door is a must. I really love seeing beside me before changing lanes, or hitting curbs.  ;)
