The bathroom door re-do is now 98% finished, just a lock adjustment and some touch up on the stain work. Was it worth it....well let's just say I'm not the one who weighs 300 lbs. The door project took up an enormous amount of time plus the labor cost on the wood cause I don't do wood and the aggravation of having to find a new guy cause the original guy crapped out on me...I want to get the water system fired up tomorrow and start to go through my list to get ready for the road test, Regards, Bob

I have successfully sat on my butt for nearly the entire day! Makes one feel all warm inside to know we've both achieved our personal goals! ;-)

Interesting.....you had to put the Suburban up on a lift in order for the mast of the forklift to clear the rear hatch......I'm thinking the initial lift of the Suburban was done very very slowly, as the weight imbalance on the lift would have been impossible to calculate.
Glad it worked out for you.
Cheers
Sidekick Tony

No Tony, the Yukon XL is on the lift so I can change the front calipers and the spare tire winch which stopped working when I tested it last weekend while I was taking off the snow tires. I should have left them on cause it's snowing again right now.... is it ever going to stop ???? I finished up all the forward seating, just waiting on the new floor mats, isle runner and dinette cushions. The curtains will have to wait till next year cause I am out of time.... Regards, Bob

Bob, that looks flat out BAD TO THE BONE! I love the red and the carpet combo. The close ups of the fabric on the furniture looks like the old mohair almost. One of my brothers recently had an antique couch done in mohair, $$$$$$$$$, HELLO! That's gorgeous Bob! Luxurious to say the least. Fine work.

Getting down to the nity/gritty now, Sunday is finish the dinette, waiting for my friends at Metal Supermarket if Albany to finish up the 3, .040 interior door skin panels, am going to try and finish up the slide installation for the drawer under the couch and custom heat vents for the furnace. I'm going to try and tackle the horn ring problem so I don't have to use a horn button remote mounted.....I hate drilling holes where they don't belong. I plan on doing my usual road test clean out the fresh water tank, fill the propane tank etc. on Sunday 4/29. That gives me 2 weeks to fix almost anything that may be a problem, then there's always the 325LE for back-up, Regards, Bob

Bob have you thought of selling it for some low price just to get rid of it and starting fresh on another one? Surely the diesel conversion won't fill all your time next winter.

Actually Lance, had it not been for finding the 370LE of my dreams with the factory installed dinette, it would have been a 92 350LE.....have you seen the one on E Bay today ???

370 LE start to finish.....
Looking at that listing could be dangerous. Appears to be solid and relatively low miles. I'm not sure I believe the 10-13 MPG though. In any event the next season of 'The Bob Miller Show'should be fascinating when he installs a Diesel engine in his motor home. Stay tuned to this station.

I got the screen door protectors from Out if Doors Mart and re-installed them indexing the screws of coarse. I picked up some new screen material and piping so tomorrow I will finish that up. Dinette cushions come tomorrow and still have some trim work in the toilet room to finish up. I may fire the 370 up tomorrow and move it out to rinse it off....,a lot of dust from the winter. Regards, Bob
