    When, with honesty, you can solve the constructive technical problems that are formal (aesthetic), first comes your satisfaction or complacency then the judgment of others….

    Love how they rigged the windows. Much better than I’ve seen on other conversions.

    Not a comment, but a question, if someone can answer it: Before they moved to Hood River, they moved every couple of weeks. Where did they stay? We stayed in our little RV for a couple of months, but staying in campgrounds and RV sites is expensive, plus there are tons of neighbors.
