also instead of cutting any holes in my bulkhead, i could enclose the top part of my hatch area leaving enough room for the hose for blow in the cool air. a couple of drip holes in the drawer, should work? i would think.
could even continue to use that old tent that i already cut up and just use that nylon to cover that space. a little glue, or a staple here and there and whal lah....
could even use more of the mesh from it also.
yup lots of possibilities in these little things. use what you have on hand.
about those portable a/c units, i have heard they leak from the unit that sits inside. one of the reason i have not gotten one yet. don't plan on it either. too expensive for me.
just check every time you go to the store that sells a/c's and ask if any units have been returned, that they want to get rid of cheap. of course make sure it works and find out why it was returned. mine was a great deal.
and gpw, your door looks great! although everytime i look at your colors i just can't get rid of that chocolate milk image.
looks great. but no locks?
Thinking of a padlock and clasp like everybody else ... Simple !! This was to keep the door from blowing open and shut in the breeze... aggravating ... no damage .. quick and dirty fix ..
