	I have put in many cabinets in our 172, we don't even fill them all up. When I joined the group I think there were 25 pages of mods, now there are 110 it takes a long time to look at them all, so here are a few pics of some of my cabinets.

	Thank you for your reply. The pictures beg two additional questions. 1) are the additional cabinets homemade or storebought,2) How did you know where to "screw" into the side walls for structural support. JUst bought our 178 & doing research during the winter months for our upcoming spring first trip. Thank you for the pictures. Larry158

	marwayne...Wow, beautiful, very nice...seriously, this is master craftsmanship level work. Impressive, it's a good thing you don't live closer because you would wake up one morning with my POD sitting in your driveway with a sign on the front that says..."Help Me!" QUESTION: I see you used a pedestal stand to support your table, how did you mount it to the floor? Does it have other supports other than the ped? I think the floor is 0.25 ply with foam between, is that correct? I ask because we HATE our table and it must go.

	Beautiful workmanship. I'm envious. Sadly, I've learned that having tools hasn't made me a craftsman. And, yes, I'd also like to know more about that pedestal table. Surely, that heavy particleboard can be replaced with a sheet of cabinet-grade ply, yes?

	Yeah, my biggest question with modding the pod, how do you find mount points. Like in the garage of my 181G, the track is only mounted in the corners. Not too sturdy, want to add more support in the center, don't know the structure, or where it is. Would hate to use metal screws into wood, or just screw to thin board.

	Larry, to answer ? no 1 check my tagline. Check under mods, Cabinets page 24 and New table part 1 and 2 page 65. I don't know how to put a link to it.

	Marwane, Thank you for that lead on cabinets page 24. I saw what you did, but how did you do it? I suffer from the condition of being over tooled & under knowledged. How did you figure out where to put the ceiling support wood. Is there any support behind/up in roof to srew into? What does the tag line mean? Thanks again Larry158

	Solid backing in ceiling, every strip of burlap molding has solid backing, then there is another solid strip of backing in between the burlap moldings. The meaning of my tagline? I build my own stuff so I know it's done right.

	Marwane, I am in your debt for sharing your expertise & knowledge with a "newbie". Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Last time I was up your way was for the Calgary winter olympics. Really had a great time. Thanks Larry158
