Don, I know where they are. About 90 min's south of me. Were you at the Hillsville yard sale (the huge one) for a labor day weekend?
When you do make that trip again, we must meet up somewhere.

No Bob. We flew into Gatlinburg TN and drove around Great Smoky Mtns NP for a few days, then over the Blue Ridge Parkway up to Elk Creek VA for another couple of days, then on into the Monongahela NF in WV for a few days and then a rush to Richmond to fly home just before Hurricane Sandy blew through. Next trip will be a driving trip. Maybe May 2015

Did some more of the rough in 12 VDC wiring today.

Also back to interior foam work. Here I glued a section of 1" polyiso in the vee nose ceiling area. Props are to keep it in place while the polyurethane glued sets.

Tomorrow some more if all goes well.

Got another part (accessory) today; probably the only guy in the country who had an A/C delivered today. :) A GE 5050 BTU with remote control. Yeah, I know, a remote in a 6x12 ??? The A/C will be in the rear over the bed; it'll save walking on the bed. ;)

With the superior insulation job you're doing, you will be able to cool it with an ice cube and heat with a candle. :beer: Mighty fine.

A friend in the SE area of WV just emailed that since it started snowing 13 hours ago they have 12 inches on the ground. Another school snow day. Kids have beem at home more than school in the past 3 weeks or so. They are quite rural.

MtnDon, Howdy;

When I used to live in SE Ohio they'd close the schools because the buses couldn't
get to some of the more rural students. It's all hilly in that region and the roads
aren't the best in the State.

Yeah good point. We are blessed in that area now. Had some bad years, but good now and this winter is helping with the ground water levels.
We should look for the silver linings all the time.
