I live in a rain forest and that's absolutely unnecessary. It's just not a problem. Ventilation is good but in this case it's unlikely to prevent anything.

I'm not sure a 12 step program is required. I think that I'm winding down naturally after 164 mods. What could possibly be left to do?

That is, after I finish installing my bifacial solar panel....

Thanks Alan, that'd do just fine. I'm busy mounting solar panels and finishing a friend's camper so I wouldn't have had time for a few days to search. Might not have found that one anyway....

I like it. Don't like my hose that's in the way and I'd rather have a single lever for easier temperature control.

Haven't seen that unit before. Couldn't locate it by searching or following the...

My brain did the same thing. Guess it's more common than "bifacial". I almost posted "Bifacial" not "Biracial". :)

Finally got rid of the EternaBond adhesive. Great stuff unless you have to...

Yup, every year his rhubarb outdid mine. Lot's of folks have aspirations, mine was to have bigger and better rhubarb than Glenn. :)

Sounds like a dream compared to removing the EternaBond adhesive. Funny, none of the YouTube videos quite matched my experience.

They do mention using a hair dryer to pull off the top white vinyl...

A timely question. I just hoisted the panel up to measure for the brackets I'm making. The roof is crowned so right away there's about a 4" gap at the edges. I've decided to fabricate brackets...

Yes, and his wife Leslie was a little bit older, hence the "Old". But it sure got folks riled up.

Over the years his ability to get iconic photos has been apparent to me. The one that really...

He sure did. Of course when he referred to his wife as Old Bag some folks got a little excited. :)

I discovered that plain old Varsol works quite well. It actually softens the residue and it rubs clean. The biggest job is getting the bulk of the adhesive scraped off first. 1 side done and 3 to...

Roof damage from flexible panel?
