Sticky bedroom window - brad barton - 07-07-2007 00:52
Thanks. The daynights are kinda tricky to remove. The regular window shades
come out easily. Brad Barton 00LXiDFW bbartonwx@...

Maybe take it out, and use the old "open a envelope you don't want yourparents
to see?" trick? I'm not sure what they exactly look like/how theycome out not
being a coach owner sadly, but I'm kinda guessing it looks likeit is rolled up
and would rip if you tried to lower it? Pop them out, andhold over a decent
steam source for a while to see if maybe that loosens theadhesive/soda/whatever
and allows it to be spread out and cleaned perhaps?Dane_____ From:

The passenger seat is on a rotating base -- we simply rotate it "in"
and my double duty "dining" and "office" chair is comfortable for
sitting/reading. We don't use the forward TV and plan to remove it
entirely at some point. We also don't do a lot of socializing --
inside the coach anyway -- so the lack of a "living room" is not a
problem to us. Admittedly, others might not like this arrangement --
but it suits our lifestyle.
One comment on the filing cabinets. We selected the top-of-the-line
model that's very solidly made. While underway, they don't contribute
(much) to the rattling, but it's important to lock the drawers so
they don't open up on turns. They are bolted to a wooden platform
(attached to the floor) that raises them about 6". This allows the
AquaHot heat radiator to remain near its original location just
behind the driver's area. (It had to be moved closer to the wall, but
it was easy to move.)

Pete, I can't believe you got rid of this. If you put a couple of pink
flamingos out in front of the bus wherever you parked, it would fit
right in. Surely that would be a cheaper and easier solution...

Ryan,
You have no idea. A neighbor down the street and around a corner had
an old pick-up truck that was long-term parked in front that was
"decorated" with a couple of pink flamingos. Some fool complained
about the "eyesore". While the truck was removed (various parking
laws 'help' when complaints are made), the neighbor's response was to
"decorate" their front yard with several dozen plastic pink flamingos
-- and a "fence" of old brass bed head boards was put up. Frankly,
the decorated truck was more attractive...

LOL! Well, we all have different tastes, I suppose. It's usually best
not to push people with odd tastes, they often react unpredictably.
I painted my house a deep blue and it doesn't exactly fit with one of
my neighbor's vision of what a house should look like. I figure it's
my house, there aren't any covenants and I like the color. So, to his
mild whining, my answer was, "Keep it up and I'll have to paint the
fence to match." He let it go.
"Flamingo-ing" houses has become a popular thing in some areas. I've
seen it several times around here. It seems to be a replacement for
the toilet-papering of houses we used to do as kids: You go out and
buy several dozen pink flamingos, then cover someone's yard in them
under cover of darkness. It's quite a sight.

Rainbow Girls in our area often use activity this as a fund raiser.
1) You can buy a "Contract" on someone to have their home
"Flamingo-ed".
2) You can buy "Insurance" to prevent it from happening.
About $10 either way.
