It all started with....

[Puffins]

A simple replacement of my sink drain outlet.

Then as I was doing some touch up cleaning the bottom of my door fell right into my hand!

The wood at the bottom had rotted out after 13 years. At least it happened in the driveway instead of on the road.

Door continued

Cleaned out the rot. Checked for extension, ran to OSH for 2X2. By then it was dark and raining, gorilla tape and a tarp for a door over night.

This morning put in new wood. The 2x2 was bit larger than the last piece so I had to squeeze the trim back on. Bigger hammer always works for me All buttoned up and looking good as new. Replaced all the screws with new ones while I was at it.

Next to replace the screen door with animal grade screen for the dogs.

Original project- screen door

Here is what I was planning on doing when the door feel apart. I replaced the screen door with pet resistant material and my cracked slider with Lexan, thanks DLN

With the rain and my wife at a friends for the evening I got the screen done in the garage. Nice strong screen, I think it will stand up to the dogs and myself for a while.

You're certainly welcome Mike. Simplicity is always best.

Your dog looks like a "BIG SWEETY" said in that dog voice we all probably have.

New floor and Fantasic Fan

I got theses in last month but took awhile to get photos and downloads.

Decided the old floor needed to go, cuts, stains and style. Lucky for me I had a roll of sheet vinyl that was from my kitchen floor left over. I kept it a single sheet with no holes or screws through it to help keep out possible water/spill damage. Then caulked the outside edges and added aluminum stock as molding.

The plastic film on the front of the bench was peeling so off it came with a little heat. Fresh contact paper and more molding. The channel U stock on the top I put in a while back to cover the top edge that had become eaten up over the years and snug up the fit.

Finally I got around to adding a Fantastic Fan to replace the no-fan vent I had. Went low profile on the lid and base. Fit like a glove (love that pre-wiring Thanks Ben!) and sealed it with marine grade adhesive.
I also removed my rusting Yakimas for now to go low profile for a bit, looking to add tracks later.

BTW

I'll be camping in So Utah, Zion and such 4/12-18.

That floor job looks nice, gives it a little character

You'll love the Fantastic Fan.

Hey Mike great job on the improvements.

That is a good idea for the U channel on the edge. On the back corner I put a clear self stick angle to protect the corner from the ladder and such.

Have a great trip in souther Utah. Wish I could go..............
