Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

It is claimed for safety purposes, that it's good to install a bar in a shower area.

Do you think this would be large enough?

But hey, if it works for you, great.

I can see how one that only fits to the top of the bed would kind of put the squeeze on a person.

My mom used to make quilts for years, and when she made one for a queen size bed, (60" x 80"), her standard size for that was 90" x 108".

The reason for it was to allow the quilt to hang down on both sides and also the foot of the bed, while still giving enough to cover the pillows up top.

Having a sheet, blanket, comforter, or whatever on top of the bed that is basically 60 x 80 just won't work for us as either.

I was kind of thinking about having something larger than the actual bed size, so there would be extra to hang down both sides, so we would not feel cramped.

At the same time, I would like something all in one, (maybe zip in sheets, or blankets), which would still allow us to fold or roll the entire piece into one lump.

Then again, depending on how thick the bedding is, it might be a "too large" lump to deal with.

Thanks for the info. It always helps when someone has experience with items, for a personal review.

I ran across a bedding system today. It reminded me a little of one that used to be out years ago called the Trav-a-Sak.

This one is called the Beddy's. It's kind of an all in one blanket, sheets, etc, and looks pretty easy to use.

Does, or has anyone used this particular system? If so, what do you think of it?

Here's a link to the Beddy's system.

That’s it. I’m buying stock in Por15.

Adding another coat makes all things look better. Nothing like a nice shiny, high gloss coat. I'll still need to cover this with something that will help protect it from the UV rays of the sun.







Not much of an update tonight. I did, however, spend some time just sitting in the co-pilot's seat, (surveying the situation, as a former boss of mine used to say), just getting a feel for my next moves.

Then again, it would not hurt if I had a couple of less irons in the fire.

Nothing like a good, nice, light, sanding, to get ready for the next coat of Por 15.

While I was at it, I took 2 more pieces of wallpaper, and the piece on the left had a coat of Lacquer put on the plywood first, and then the wallpaper added on top.

The piece on the right was just adhered to bare plywood.

I then covered both pieces with Lacquer on top.

Not bad so far.







I then waited 5 minutes.........







Ah, yea. Not looking so good on the left. This reacted even worse to the lacquer under the wallpaper than it did with Por 15 under it.

Now I know what not to do.

Then again, a water based clear coat may not damage the wallpaper.

My original thought was, if I could sandwich some wallpaper between a couple of coats of some type of sealant, that might be able to be used inside to be completely waterproof, or even outside, such as for something like graphics.

I guess I'll have to "paint one up", and lay it outside, and see what happens.

Worst case scenario - it won't work, and I haven't wasted much time or money finding out.

With a bunch of other stuff going on currently, I had very limited time today to get anything done.

However, I did manage to sand the drivers side counter a little bit, and give that another coat of Por 15.
