That's one of the reasons why having you all on board is so wonderful!<BR/><BR/>...4 Sawzall blades later, we're on our way to a sweet propane storage box! Wooo hoo. Pics to come.<BR/><BR/>(Important note: We bought these giant Bosch glow-in-the-dark sawzall blades at Bimart. They are sooo cool.) <BR/><BR/>Today is our first day off in probably 2 weeks. When you start to feel like an old lady, you know it's time to take a break.<BR/> <BR/>-ErinErin Gildayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027513229129174869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28023648629922485.post-71502112089738400502008-02-18T21:40:00.000-08:002008-02-18T21:40:00.000-08:00Erin, I am not trying to cover myself. I am trying...Erin, I am not trying to cover myself. I am trying to be helpful and very clear in my suggestions. Propane is not something to be toyed with and I have a healthy respect for it (as do you both from what I have read so far). When I started my conversions I found the best help was simplified and very descriptive (with pictures for me as I am a visual learner). Anyhow, I just want you both to know that my long winded suggestions are coming from a positive place and concern for others. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and keep up the progress. It's easy to get discouraged.<BR/><BR/>-RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28023648629922485.post-72027229789746904732008-02-18T17:59:00.000-08:002008-02-18T17:59:00.000-08:00Thanks for all the kind words you guys n gals!

We are getting pretty excited about how it is coming along, too. =) <BR/><BR/>Richard - I can tell by your comment that you don't want to be held responsible when we blow ourselves up with our propane! No worries. We are definitely venting to the outside - sorry I was vague about it in my last post. Ditto about our tanks being upright. We sure do want to avoid the flame-throwing affects of tilted LP tanks and rv stoves. Thanks for the pics! Very helpful. The bench/couch is going to be about 2' high...just a few inches up from where we had it previously. It'll seem a little high with the cushions but I think it'll be ok. We are leaving a rib in the center of the opening for our box for extra protection - when I saw that you did that, too I thought it was an even better idea.Erin Gildayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027513229129174869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28023648629922485.post-78772413972397566972008-02-18T13:18:00.000-08:002008-02-18T13:18:00.000-08:00looking good!

Are you creating a sealed box under your couch for your tanks? How tall is your couch going to be, based off the height of the tanks? They must be kept upright (which I am sure you knew).<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>http://www.skoolie.net/gallery/v/Skoolies/The-Doodlebus/current_conversion_2006/193_9373.JPG.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.skoolie.net/gallery/v/Skoolies/The-Doodlebus/current_conversion_2006/192_9220.JPG.html<BR/><BR/>Here are a couple of links to pics of my tank boxes. They are mounted under the bed at the rear of the bus. The interior is sealed from the tanks. <BR/><BR/>-RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28023648629922485.post-6706345200551836082008-02-17T00:02:00.000-08:002008-02-17T00:02:00.000-08:00Coming right along!
