RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Is that the galley sink in the upper left corner of upper pic? The walnut looks good.
Yes, that is the sink that will be installed. It's still sitting there waiting on me... lol.
I figured I can stretch the walnut much farther this way, especially since that is walnut lumber that my grandfather had in his shop, and I wanted to use it for something special.
This qualifies as something special.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
It showed up the first time. One person said he could not see it.
I know. I thought I would try it again with a slightly different name of the pic. Just trying to make sure it's nothing on my end.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
The last image I posted that is evidently not showing up is this one... It struck me funny one day, and seemed appropriate at the time.
Let me know if it shows up or not.

For some unknown reason I am unable to see your last image.
Is anyone else having problems viewing images?

Well, I would suppose whether or not you get excited with any post, would be totally up to you.

Just sit back and enjoy the journey, folks. Life is not always about the destination.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
I've been following your project for a long time. I have to say I get a kick out of the ingenuity and sheer determination you have in order to address weird problems or construct one off tools. I am curious though how far along you are on your rebuild. Any chance you can post a few pictures of the full coach inside and out?
I'll try to get one inside soon, as I have to do a little "clean up" of the inside. Things tend to get a little cluttered in such a small space.
It's been really cold here for a couple of days, and supposed to start warming up tomorrow and for the next few days.
That should help. Having extra grandbaby duty this week didn't help, but she's a real cutie. I know, everyone's grandchild is a cutie! Lol.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Welcome back! Do you think it's a bit much to make 7 posts to explain that you used a razor knife to cut some foam?
I like to be thorough! :)

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Sometimes, what I am trying to portray in my head, doesn't always make it on "paper", like I think it should.
In case I didn't get it across properly, this is what I was trying to say concerning trimming the insulation after gluing it in place.
Hopefully, this makes sense. I could not do this with a normal utility knife, as the blade is not long enough.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Here is how things look before cutting the extra off with the box cutter. Like I said, it was much easier to cut these off after it was glued in place, rather than try to cut the insulation before gluing it in place.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
This pic has a lot more going on than the last one. The red arrow again shows the groove for where the screws go.
The double green lines, is the space between window frame, and the frame of the wall. There needs to be a little clearance there to allow the window to be slid into place. Yeah, that was a long time ago.
When I glued the insulation to the wall, it extended past the frame of the window. The area between the 2 blue lines was insulation and needed to be cut off.
I figured it was easier to extend the insulation a little bit and then cut the excess off.
The yellow line is where I put the loooong utility (box cutter) blade, and just cut through the insulation right next to the wall frame. Easy as pie....
https://paddleupstream.com/mohorebuild/window.frame2.jpg
And that, is how and why I bought the box cutter. It worked very well to remove the excess insulation, and leave the insulation flush with the side wall.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
This begs the question, why even buy a little box cutter like that, when you already have a utility knife?
Glad you asked.
Below is a pic of one of the corners of a window frame. This happens to be the one on the copilot's side.
The red arrows point to the little groove which is where the screws go to hold the window in place. You know, those screws which go all around the window from the inside through a piece of trim. Yeah, those. This is the groove for those screws.

RE: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Turns out, that cutting insulation is now a breeze, compared to a normal utility knife. By extending the blade out, I can now make a single cut through 1/2" thick insulation in one smooth swift cut.
Makes life so much nicer. Yay!
