Installed a piezoelectric igniter and got rid of the old turn to light noise maker. Bought the unit from Walmart for $13, add one $2.99 switch from radio shack and about 3hrs labor. Now I have quiet push button ignition for my stovetop burners and my oven. Before we had to get on our hands and knees, holding the oven knob in while applying flame to the pilot light.
Got the idea from here: Stove Igniter MOD

Wow thats a great mod-not much more than a decent butane lighter to reach the silly oven pilot. That ones on the list!

What is the reason they do not build any type igniter in the ovens? To keep you from blowing the doors off when there is a gas build up?

Installed LED lights I purchased on Ebay for $ 2.19 each to replace them hot 921 bulbs Work great.

DH just installed a new LED motion sensor porch light. It's awesome! It'll be so helpful when we're coming back to the campsite from the lake. We got the clear lens instead of the amber.

We won't keep it on all night just in case you might be our neighbors and were worried.;)

Caulked all exterior led lights, Dicored half of roof vents, radio, tv antenna and cabover seam. dicor remaining roof vents monday or tuesday.

Installed a second slide out switch near the cabover. Will come in handy when stealth camping. Also when I enter the TC to turn on the battery disconnect (which is under the sink), I can open the slide out while standing near the cabover, without walking back to the entrance door. This is another one of those features that should be standard from the factory.

I heard some clunking from the drivers side front of the truck on bumps. Lower bolt on the Rancho was a hair loose and let the shock eye hit the frame mount. I tightened that up right quick. Changed the oil and topped off the power steering fluid. I'm going to dump and flush the fresh water tank in a few minutes, have to remember to go get the propane tanks filled. We leave in 10 days for the USDF Region 7 Dressage Championships at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Staying at the Facility in the TC for a week.

Installed 19" TV and full motion mount. Loaded it up for a shakedown trip to the Space Coast.

Loaded up the lance with some freshwater,firewood and odds and ends for a weekend trip to point roberts washington(lighthouse marine park,whatcom county campsite)no hookups,great spot.September has broken all records for great weather this year here,wont be my last trip of the season,I hope...

it just became my home kitchen for 3 weeks while we remodel the one in the house
left for work and the house looked like this
