  1. I must have missed this. I took off the old roof to one of the osb sheathing panel edges and use it as a guide for my utility knife and cut straight across. Then I laid the new roof next the old and glued it down, then ran a strip of 4 inch eternabond over the seam and dicor lap sealed the eternabond as well. It made a nice straight seam and also cut the gutter 6 inches behind that seam so I could put the roof edge gutter molding over it to hold it all in place. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  2. Back from the trip and enjoyed our stay. The 400 loop was a good one and I liked being close to the marina and dog park and it's still a nice bike ride to the wilderness pool that we like. I really enjoyed the premium site and not having the uneven ankle sprain railroad ties in the ground and didn't miss the coquina getting everywhere and on everything. We stayed in site 408, it was assigned, even though I requested others. I was loving the size of it, very wide, really deep and all of the connections were in the center on the concrete log, perfect for the new camper. The only issu
  3. Thank you for asking. It was amazing to have a near new rig as we've always had something at least 10 years old. 2 couches, huuuge shower, and the outdoor kitchen made the trip so much more enjoyable as well as the power awning for breaking down camp. I did have an issue with my new roof sliding back, I guess my glue didn't bond well, but I'll take care of it. Otherwise, a plumbing leak I found that looks to be leaking since it was new was all i had to repair at the Fort.
  4. Happy to report a 2000 mile round trip to the FORT was no problem for the new GoodYear Endurance tires. No loss of air pressure, ran really cool with the laser temp gun and tracked well. Best part is the 87 MPH speed rating allows you to cruise at 70 or better and creep a little quicker on downhill coasting without getting nervous. I also checked the tread depth when I was cleaning up after getting home and they all still had exactly 8/32" of tread on all grooves, just like when I left. So far I'd recommend.
  5. And by now you have hit the comfort station!
  6. We actually went before opening, saw the new opening show, did Peter Pan, and 2 fast passes. We then left and came back at 8 for BOG reservation and hung around until midnight, lines were still off the hook so we bagged it. I did get to do Hall of Presidents and accidentally caught the new muppets history act so it wasn't all bad. Still didn't get my money's worth out of those 3 tickets.

  7. Ate at the TE tonight for dinner (damn delicious). Tried to walk up, because hey, it's always half full. It was a bit busy in front with the hoop de doo shift change, but they told me no walk ins. So what's a guy to do? Well, I'll tell you....you open up your disney app and pick one of the 10 available times, walk back up to the podium and get shown to your table in a half to 3/4 full restaurant. Why do this? I watched several families get told the same thing and walk away. Best part was, it was getting late and there were piles of fresh food left....all to be thrown in the "compost pile"
  8. Saw those this afternoon and I do believe I saw them last year. They must have a grand in figures alone.
  9. The Fort is still A1 with me, especially coming from the north for spring break, but I'm losing my enthusiasm for the parks. Lifes natural ebb and flow I guess, but wow is it crazy.
  10. We all know Disney always wins, bit this time they really made a few off of us. We had a 3 day ticket and went to Epcot, AK and the MK over the last 4 days. The parks are just way too busy anymore to be enjoyable. I know it's spring break and a busy time and this is our 6th annual spring break trip, but there is no reason we shouldn't have been able to ride other things besides our 3 fast passes. Line for space mountain was 3 hours and 10 minutes yesterday and the line for the Railroad was 2 cycles long. This was at 10 am. Animal Kingdom line for the parking lot Tram was 2 cycles long,
  11. I'll snap a pic but I took the dogs to the dog park yesterday and there were landscape workers hurriliy putting sod over the square sand court between the dog park and playground outside of 500. Was that a tetherball court? Whatever it was kiss it goodbye.
  12. Before you buy anything, make sure you are ready for RV ownership. In general, be prepared for one minor emergency on almost every trip. If you're not handy, now is a good time to run or learn. I like the RVing lifestyle because I enjoy tinkering, and it keeps me busy. We can afford longer trips than at hotels etc, but at the same time you will be astounded by the rigs people have. I'm at the Fort now and have seen a handful of Prevost buses this week at a half a million bucks and up...so many crew cab diesels at 65 grand it's mind blowing. Even with what I have into my fixer uppe
  13. Last time they waived the fee (guy just being nice ) and this time they charged us 5 bucks a night. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  14. Just ate the last piece of the 8 piece meal today. I never knew fries were an option and we've been getting the same meal for 5 years. I can tell you this, it's still delicious and a bargain at 25 bucks. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  15. I read about it yesterday on the Sentinel.....I was surprised for sure, but is seems like because she is "in charge" all of the PC rules go out the window. I think it's a step toward bring back back musket Mickey, albeit Minnie!
  16. I know it's only March, but can I vote this for post of the year 2018?
  17. They're still going? That's commitment....maybe a fiend on the scene to get a look at the damage. Didn't actually look too bad in the video.
  18. 3/15/18, the day the FF web site reversed a new Disney policy......or maybe just a computer glitch!
  19. This is really silly to an educated consumer. You can say it's because all of the other hotels are doing it, but the fact that you didn't do it was the incentive to come there! Its equally silly as the way that the paid parking at the gates of the theme parks are collecting the fee one minute, and suddenly without rhyme reason or a time schedule, wave you through the next and then leave the gates completely unattended an hour later. Say what you want, but Im not afraid to admit I frequently make up a story of what I'm doing rather than tell the truth to the gate keeper as a matter of
  20. I'm leaning to the 400 and 700. Somehow I have 421 stuck in my mind from reading something. I'm still looking.
  21. I do believe they are hotter than a house unit and therefore you mix in more cold. We've never had an issue. And on a timely note I found my water tank was split today! Found a replacement tank on amazon, will be here Weds. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  22. Is it wrong that I look through these trying to find someone having a meltdown?
  23. I got car tires at Walmart last summer fir my wife's ride. Amazing price on a mastercraft sale and only 9 bucks to mount and balance here.....But....it's like watching the keystone cops! Hilarious if you have patience.
  24. About an hour. I've wanted to check that place out but we always seem to go to the Yogi bear in Mill Run. Let me know if you're going and we'll try to plan. Raisin cookies.
