Im in restoration mode. I really wanted too but I caved and bought 7- 16.5's. All is well. Everything will be fine. Nothing to see here, please move along. Next Rv will get the 16's.

Started to tear out the galley for a remodel. Oven didn't work. Don't want a four burner stove. Furnace didn't work. Cabinetry isn't useful. Three way fridge is wonky. blah, blah. So out it comes. All of it. Easy enough to fix all that.

Next up will be reupholstery and by then the weather will be comfy enough around here to camp.

Wait. What was the question?

Peace. ~RL

Yeah, still here ... been writing and rewriting my rambling on starter vs deep cycle battery. So far, all attempts at explanation go from overly simple to overly scientific. I've been unable to find any reasonable middle ground but will try again tonight.

Plus, been working on the house, finalizing boat's wiring diagram, and getting ready for winter. (First frost warning, for low lying areas, went out a week ago ... Alaskans aren't joking when we say our four seasons are June, July, August, and winter.

Also, been hitting the Vicodin just to get things done.

BTW - turned 60 years old on the 17th of this month.

Oh you betcha. Linky linky bottom of page 621.

Will be taking more pics of recent work this weekend.

Changed two roof vents with FanTastic 12v models. Changed third roof vent in wet bath with non powered model. Changed two plumbing roof vents. Going to clean and seal the metal roof before too long. New tires. Almost there.

Well then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY belated. [emoticon]

You have been a wealth of information here.
Just sayin, in case there were any doubts.

Yah, sure ... like any of you will make the trip just for that. One of the advantage in living in Alaska is it's much more unlikely for the in-laws and out-laws to just drop in. (According to my dad, if your spouse's relatives are in-laws then your relatives must be out-laws.)

Besides, I recommend going to the Kenai Peninsula instead of coming to Fairbanks ... lots more interesting scenery and things to do. (I could easily spend a month or more just wandering around the Kenai.) If anyone does plan to come up here, I'll map out a fun-filled, interesting trip, including things average tourists don't get to see or do. Regardless, I wouldn't recommend coming up before May 1st or after September 30th. (Even then, you'll probably run into at least one snow storm.)

Main floor diaphragm (joists & subfloor) is done, caulked, and sealed with deck paint. Been working on basement floor. Raised wooden basement floor instead of slab, with subfloor/joists resting on box beams on sill plates on foundation footings.
