This is kind of an experiment, but I'm on a mission to get organized! (yes dear)

So i gathered up most of my mods and put them in an album so I could review, see what needs to be done, see what needs to be undone and see what mods need to be modified. Before and after I purchased my 178, I found the pictures in this and other threads to be invaluable and inspirational. Perhaps this little picture show will help other newbies like me!


Happy Modding!

I suppose it would if you have really long legs. With the shower pan at your feet, a standard height toilet would leave most people with swinging feet!  The new toilet is just about factory height but with a residential size bowl/seat. She loves it....therefor I love it!

Changed out the toilet with a more residential type. Much more comfortable now and do not have to reach over the toilet to flush it.

I had the same issues with the curtain. Two problems: The screws used to install the tracks are too large and improperly placed so the curtains do not slide easily. Secondly the tracks are too short so they block half the window when pulled open. I fixed both problems by replacing the track with two 3 foot strips on top and two on bottom, to provide two 6 foot tracks. The original slides and curtains were used. Installing the tracks with #4 screws outside the slide slots made the curtain slide properly. The extra length allowed full view of the window.

This is the best picture I have:

The track is similar to:

The curtain in the back window is a pain with those little plastic tracks.  Has anyone replaced this and if so how or with what?

Thanks!
