My daughter got on the K-mart web site today. Weird ,the rod costs 3.99 and it would be $6.00 shipping. They won,t ship it to the store because they don,t have one at the closest store. We go by K-mart frequently and will stop in the store to see if the store computer is working. Good thing I am not in a rush for this item.

I was able to stop by Kmart and get on the store computer to order the sash rod. Hopefully,usps will deliver it undammaged this time. We worked on the HiLo for a total of eight very productive Hrs. God Bless the toasty warm furnice in 22degree weather. Got the dinette cabinet totally trimmed out and repacked. I then cleaned all the bottom drawers and cabinets on the lower sink side. Hubby cut the 1st.piece of paneling for the lower br wall behind the toilet. Did his layout/calculations and we should have enough drops to complete the project. Still don,t have a date for my surgery. I can,t figure out why my surgeon is acting so "off" I made an apt with another surgeon that I had years ago. The apt isn,t until jan 31st. I am a nononsense person and expect good customer service from my Drs.After all I am the one paying. This would be so sweet if we could complete the restoration before my surgery and six week recuperation. The next few days are going to be 40degree days. Some time this week we will take a road trip to an RV show in our area. A little fun to break up the winter blah!!!!

The rod came in the mail undamaged this time,so dad installed it.He is almost done,just a few loose ends and some clean-up left to do.Now for the hard part:figuring out how in the *censored* we're going to get the trailer out to take it or our annual March inspection without making ruts in my grandmother's lawn(the ground didn't harden up this winter).

place plywood on the grass to distribute the weight. 2 sheets should do, just keep moving the sheets, you'll also need some for the tow vehicle

I thought about doing this it would be very expensive for four sheets of plywood. Didn't see your post until today.

PS Did you guys happen to take the top half of the door out to panel or just go around it?

We didn't take the top half of the door off as it wasn't water dammaged. We just left it with the old paneling. We were lucky to find new paneling that was a good color match for the old paneling that was left on the frontside of the kitchen area. The ends did't have to be remodeled. My camcorder is not working. Shows condensation on lens. I pulled the paperwork. I,m not wanting to spend $ on repair tech. Left it in a box with rice for sometime. Didn't fix. Tried compressed air,didn;t fix. I want to take out several sm screws and see if it will dryout. Hubby thinks it will get messed up. Maybe springs under some screws.? I say it doesn,t work now so what do you have to loose. Bummer, cost $350.00 purchased in 2004 and hasn,t been used that much. We accidently left it in the cab of our truck for a few days after a campout last sept.

Sam,

Actually your camcorder wouldn't do you much good to post a video. (I have about $1500 worth of camcorders which are now worthless in my closet.) First you would need to get the video into the computer which would take at least a television tuner hooked to the puter and lots of time. Your best bet would be with a camera that takes video or a cell phone or something like I used to put my video on you tube EMATIC MP3 PLAYERS I think I paid something like $40.00 for it a year and a half ago.

I never claimed to be anything but technology chalenged. My daughter helps us out where needed. She read your post and told me that she can record a video using her digital camera then upload it to youtube. It may cost me the price of an SD card. Dad is good with his background in electrical/electronics. Maybe you could sell your video cameras or anything excess and use the $ to buy supplies for your restoration. My daughter sells stuff on Amazon or Ecrater and has a fair amt. of sucess.
