Well, I went ahead and installed the sink faucet handle today...on the outside of the trailer. If nothing else, it might be a first?

Great idea on the faucet handle. Your galley looks very nice!

I remember seeing a post before about your fenders. I really like those....very creative design. I just have the plain old HF fenders on my Cubby....would like to do something like that.

Looks great!

Thanks Indy, I'm happy with the way the fenders look although they're not the strongest around, by any means. As far as the handle idea goes, I'll just have to wait and see. There was just so much more room on the outside than inside. ;) George.

Neat fenders!

The faucet idea works too :thumbsup:

Thanks Rob/Chris, The "carvings" are not true carvings. I mostly used a router and Dremel tool for the effect. Maybe someday I'll have the time, patience, and skill to do it the "old fashioned" way but for now I have to take a few shortcuts. :) George.

George, you built some beautiful cabinets and one sharp tear. I would be tickled to death with a tear that turned out that great. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I started out with nothing and I still got plenty left.

I really appreciate the compliments Ron. I started this project over 2 years ago and feedback like yours makes me feel that the effort has been worth it! George.

hey george,
i think its a good idea,
take a look at the fish pictures,
i've got cold water supply on both sides of my trailer,
the valves are inside of recessed boxes with lids,

i've also installed a 110 receptical in the rear and will have another by the entry door,
