I will be sewing them into one piece, adding a short additional valance, maybe 3 inches across the top to bring them all together.

Then, cellular blinds to replace the shades. I like the softness the additional cloth gives to the interior.

Be well,

Yes, we noticed that there is a notable gap in privacy with the new shades. They're cool looking/operating shades, but you're right, the gap is a bit of an issue, isn't it.

I wonder if the pleated-style shades that run along strings might afford more privacy than the new roller shades do?

Cochese... the stainless looks great. Nice job!

Just delivered by a big brown truck. Plugs in for instant check of the incoming AC power.

We will get another one next week. I left him there because he has a runny nose and a cough. I'm hoping he's better next week. They are administering antibiotics.

Received the last porch/compartment light that I need to replace:

Fastners P-1327 Porch/Compartment Light

These folks had a great price on it.... $18.78 + shipping. Other places wanted almost $30 + shipping. If you just need a replacement lens, they have that, too.

I need to replace the one on our 1987 Avion 34W that is near the water/sewer/electric connections.

This porch light is also used on Airstreams.

@DHart

I suspect any shade which follows a straight line from top to bottom will have the gap. However, if one constructed a curved frame, holding the shade close to the window frame, this might do the trick. My ultimate goal with the curtains was to "soften" the look of the interior, decreasing the amount of total aluminum. The cloth valences do this well, IMO.

Oh, yes, Cochese, fantastic counter top. Looks so good.

inquiring minds want to know....what kind of tires were they?????

[mrfrank9]

Towmaster - about 3.5 yes old, e-load rated. No signs of wear or bad treads, sidewalls etc. Made in China.
Nuff said.
Replacements were free star, probably same deal - will swap for 16" rims and Michelin's in a couple years.

[AWCHIEF]

3 in one trip? Got to be more to this story.

[cwf]

Same tires on our 34. One fragged curb rear of 3. Others showing de lamination. Replaced all. Repaired metal. Installed Goodyeat Wrangler H/T. Doing fine.

[Ag&Au]

I never buy tires with "GOOD" in their name.
My reasoning is that they must have little confidence in the quality of their tires. so they try to label them as "good", because other factors may tend to indicate otherwise.

Just kidding not trying to start a tire war.

[ckottum]

If the word China is somewhere on the tire, we take that as a red flag (so to speak) warning.

[mrfrank9]

In the case of Goodyear, that would be James Goodyear, founder of the company 😊 😊😊.
I did put the wrangler H/T on my TV. Could be a contender for the TT.
Made in US i hope!

A flagpole holder from sandlapper ( first quality construction). Poles and flags. I found some nice little wood finials at the flag store in Sparks NV that work with the Lowes painter poles. Ordered an air Forums flag today as well. Got my red numbers too, just waiting for clear dry weather to put them on.

I am "repurchasing" a microwave as the replacement I purchased a few years back is just not very good- uneven cooking, leaking door seal (steam), low power, etc. Most of the smaller micros are not very good compared to their big brothers. The issue is that in my kitchen configuration the microwave space is small. Nonetheless after careful hunting I believe I found "the one" that will be the perfect replacement- a Panasonic. Not only is it slightly larger inside but it has sensor cooking, is lighter and also has inverter technology that runs at different power levels versus just shutting on and off like most. It also has 250 more watts of power than the previous model at 950 watts. Interestingly when I looked up the power consumption my previous model drew 1000 watts to utilize 700 watts of cooking power. This one uses 1150 watts to produce 950 watts of cooking power. We had a large one for years and really liked it in the house. Hopefully the extra 2 inches in width and almost 2 inches in depth will work out ok.

Newbie question: Do you feel that a microwave is important, presumably especially for summer cooking?
