Don & Karen's 6 x 12 Deep Vee Front CT

[MtnDon]

Alright, the shower is completed except for the shower curtain.



CPVC pipe for a curtain rod and the PVC conduit does double duty as a towel drying holder and to carry a wire front to back that I belatedly wanted to add. Easier than fishing through the voids in the shower base.

That's a stick of foam fake wood trim I had laying around instead of using a proper FRP corner. It works; it is siliconed in place.




Small shelf added across wall behind sink.

Train of thought happened like this: Was thinking to myself that the 1960s color scheme was looking great, took notice of the shower stall right next to the kitchen, and how the outter wall color would have looked just like an old fridge. Thus the seed was planted... I want to use a shower stall to double as the space a full size fridge sits. Thinking a hinged wall so the fridge rotates out into the walking area.

It's coming together nicely.

Today's main project was installing the Travertine marble floor tiles. With all the angles in the nose that was a real job in cutting so as to not end up with wasted materials due to errors in measuring and what not. We do like the appearance a lot.


It was hot working as we have hit 96 so far. No A/C as I was working mostly in the nose, going in and out and at times I was outside while fitting the tiles to the nose floor. I closed up the trailer and am running the A/C to get an idea of the cool down period.


There are details such as base trim to complete. Here's a shot of the tile...






We got that fromHome Depotyesterday. It comes in 2 foot squares, 4 pieces to a package. I was able to do the floor with 2 packages.

Yes, it is not real marble; my head is not made of stone and neither is the floor. It is foam matting with those laser cut squiggly interlocking edges.

Being at 5500 feet and a tad further north helps keep us out of the triple digits for a large part.

The cool down test was spoiled by going out to dinner. When we got back the A/C had been running 3 hours and it was down to 68 F. I guess that it pretty good considering the sun was shining brightly. Temp still around 96

[MtnDon]

A while back I mentioned I had a latch to help take some of the weight off the door hinges of the rear door the A/C is mounted in. Here are a couple shots.

I added an handle extension to this one. When the hook is slipped over the steel door frame top and the handle pulled down the latch goes over center and stays there. The rod is adjustable for throw. This one is stainless steel. I have it set to almost imperceptibly lift the door, to take weight. It might make a difference when jiggling down the road.






These are from a company called Southco. They make lots of different latches in many sizes. I've used a variety of them over the past 12 - 15 years. They have a website. I have not checked recently but for many years they have had a sample program. IF you have a company name and if you have a shipping payment account with someone like UPS, FedEx, etc, you can order samples. The samples are free, but you must have a shipping account they can charge to. They used to ship for free but that ceased about 2008.

MtnDon., Howdy;

I've seen and used latched like that in the distant past ...
Are you planning on double nutting on both sides of the
collar? May help it to not readjust itself.

I've had three of these kicking around for a few years.

Good point. I tightened the single nut and I did give it a drop of green loctite. Good idea nontheless.

It's been a VERY long time since I poked around, but I finally got my UID & PW figured out again so I could post that there are some other versions of that clamp that might work - in stock and cheaper from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/DE-STA-CO-341-R-A ... aco+clamps
has a lock that will keep it from opening inadvertently.

There are many different sizes and types of these clamps that can be used for lots of different things on a trailer. Just be sure to check physical size and load capacity before going crazy ordering them.
