Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

Converted my two florescent light fixtures to led fixtures, using the same LED elements as Gooseberry in this thread below. I did replace the two way light fixture switch with a direct replacement (though black instead of white) three way switch to be able to operate one bank of LEDs or both banks of LEDs. Had to relearn some of my long forgotten elementary electrical engineering to make the mode work though.

Very happy with the mod (thanks Gooseberry).

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

Ron, what is that vent pipe by the roof? Do you have a wood stove you put in there?

It looks like a regular forced air ducting and just a vent for the garage for heat.

The little tabs are the screws that hold the Thule rack track it came with the top.

Just more things to bump my bald head on! I already kill myself on the corner of the back shelf every time I get up from the bottom bed on my Sportsmobile. One would think I'd remember it is there.

I find that I only use one most of the time.

Washed the monster and put a cover on it. Wife gets to clean the inside to her specs.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

Started making my roof ladder. It will mount on the drivers side at start at the eyebrow of the rear wheel wheel. I have the tubing all cut, bent and joined. I'm starting the rain gutter attachments now. When I get those done I will marry the ladder to the gutter attachments.. So far, so good.
