Started to look into some water damage in the kitchen of our 83 Pace Arrow. The more I looked, the more I found. I have some pics of the damage so far. Anyone interested in following a rebuild thread?

Good evening everyone. Nope, not dead. Sorry for being M.I.A. for a while. It's good to be back. Hope your year is starting off well. I won't bore you with a bunch of B.S. stories. (Baby Sitting). Ah, I'll tell ya, grandkids are great. You can love 'em and send 'em home! Lol.Anyhow, couple of pics coming up.

Well, I must say, what a shock to see the new format. Looks like there are others not very happy either. Look like we just landed on Mars!I wanted to check in, as we are currently in the Poconos in Eastern Pa for this week. I hope to get back to work on the moho next week one day.Then again, I guess it depends on whether anyone can find this thread anymore. I cast one vote for going back to the old format, if this is the only other option.

Here you can see the 2 pieces on the left with the uprights holding the 2 x 3's. This is just a temporary solution as I work on things in the middle of the "living room".

I'm still here, after bumbling around a good while. Not fond of the new format; not near as clean as the previous version. But I will soldier on... Still looking forward to your remodel efforts, fulltimin.

Well, due to technical difficulties, I can't post any pics tonight. I'll try to get things corrected for tomorrow night. Have a great day!

Between mowing the yard today for the second time this month, and working on the honey-do list, I ran out of time today.

Some days there aren't enough hours in the day.

Other days, you just can't wait to get the day over with, and get to the next one, to start over. Go figure.

Face it, as humans, some times we are just tough to please. Lol.

Also found on this same bus, the use of the interior surface of the entry door, to hold a cabinet. Looks like that would be about 12 inches deep, maybe a little more.

Should hold a fair amount of stuff in there. That would require a good strong set of hinges on the door to hold the extra weight.

I found a different take on a storage container that slides out. It appears the doors open up from the sides and not the top. It looks like there are 3 separate doors.

However, with the boxes sliding out like this, that would provide a surface to put things on when they are out. Add a board on top that is hinged, and would flip out, and now you've got a 4 foot wide counter.

Don't think I'll need this, but it is a nice idea for someone who needs extra counter space outside.

Laid some of the black walnut on the counter just to see how it would look, before joining the boards together, and before applying a finish.

So far, I like the looks of it.

Just sitting here on the Gulf Coast in 84 and sunny with 41% humidity. Beautiful day if all the beaches and pools weren't closed. Changed the faucet for the outside shower sprayer on the MH. Enough work for one day. Have to spread out the tasks so I don't run out of things to do.

Ah, good. You've learned how to pace yourself! Lol...

Just sitting here in Denver. It's 15 degrees and snowing. Will be headed into work later this morning. Should be a very slow day!

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you had a great day, especially with a lot of us being in "lock down". This also, will not last forever. :)
