We got a longer sewer pipe (20 feet).  We bought a drain pipe from Lowe's with holes already drilled in it, and 2 end caps.  Hubby cut it to size and glued the caps on each end (the lids screw off).  He has attached the pipe to the bracket near the battery.

Here is the pipe (he laid the pipe with the holes on the bottom for drainage)


Now installed on the pod by the battery:










We can always take this off if we want to.  The original pipe and holder is still in place.  We could not use it because the new pipe had fittings that would not fit inside.

I wanted something over the stove for extra counter space.  I almost got a wooden cutting board, but decided on a plastic one, because of price and weight.  We got dowel rod and wood screws and cut the rod 2 1/2 inches for each leg.  Hubby drilled holes in each corner and we inserted the screw with the legs.  Haven't tried it out yet but I think I will like it.  I will not be using this as a cutting board, only for extra counter space.

Love the "glove box", my box 'o gloves are just flopping around in the storage compartment.  I also like the PVC pipe mod for the hose and the mounting location.  Mine is inside a large tool box but I'm not too happy with that.

Two days after you posted the pic of the caver sticker I saw one on a car.  Never saw one before but I knew what it meant thanks to you!

Glad you like them!  Me and hubby both smiled about the caver sticker.  Glad we are helping the awareness!   Big smile
