No I don't fish at all. In a 4x8 trailer would probably be a bit cramped but doable with just a spool and line. A 5 wide would be much better. Take out most of the mattress when doing it. I started with my foam in 3 pieces. I now have cut one of those in 2 to make 4. With a single mantle Coleman white gas lantern I can keep it rather warm in there in some very cold weather. Or else I have to keep the windows open and sometimes even the door.

Don't worry. If I am ever found dead in my TD because my lantern asphyxiated me, it was not an accident.

I hang it from a hook while I read and turn it off for sleepy time. Mine is a 4x8. My new one will be a bit bigger. I am a bit bigger.
:cry:

Before I started doing this I built a mock up of my ceiling and hung a double mantle lantern from it for 6 some hours. I did not worry after that. The wood as only warm to the touch and I seldom have it going for more than 2 hours.

I have been spending many hours (legs all folded up and numb ) working in my tear. The hole in the floor idea is awesome. Im doing that for sure on next build. Thanks Randy.

It took me about a year of thinking about how to do it and I am glad I did make it. To bad I didn't start the build with that in mind would have made it a lot more usable than it is. But it is useful as it is.

You may know how to add pictures, but you also have setup your gallery so that no one but you can see them. You have to allow everyone to access your gallery to see your pictures.

I beg to differ. I did no such thing. Perhaps Gnomes, Leprechauns, the Tooth Fairy, the Great Pumpkin, one of the Seven Dwarfs, or the Sorcerer's Apprentice did so but I am innocent of all charges.

So, that said, how do I fix it.

Cheers,

Gus

Click on "User Control Panel", click on "Gallery", click on "Manage Personal Albums", click on "Edit", select "Everyone" in the box after "Allow access for:".

If this doesn't work then maybe Mike can figure it out.

It was already set as noted above. I have no "sub albums". Could that be an issue?

Thanks,

Gus
