Extremely nice cabinetwork.  You have been blessed with an ability to do professional wood work!

Vann, We left RMNP the day they closed it, we were told to leave Moraine Campground.  As we went went on the mountain road the rain was intense, many cars were stopped, we crept as the rain - x on our windshield at least allowed us to travel at 20 - 25 mph.  Amazing to see plow trucks on the road pushing off boulders that had come crashing down on the road.  Some of these were 6 - 8 foot tall !  We never left the rain until we got to the extreme west end of the park and then as we came toward Denver, it started all over again.  We were extremely fortunate as we came through Denver at one point it looked like a very dark spot on the road, I was able to manuever my Explorer and pod around it, found out it was a sinkhole about 3 foot across in the middle of the expressway.  From that point we counted nearly a dozen cars with front tires blown out as a result of hitting that.  Heard on the radio about 5 minutes later to be on the lookout for that sinkhole!  What a trip.

Thanks. I will be installing the sink as soon as Lowes does its reset (getting display model at a significant discount) and we get the R-Pod back from the dealer.

Marwayne, I have a question. Was that sink in the kitchen original or did you replace it? I am about to replace the plastic kitchen sink that came with our 179 with a stainless steel sink. The one I chose looks like the one you have. However, I am going to use a different faucet. When I get the job done, I will make sure to post pictures.

My biggest pet peeve on all the pods is the trim around the bathroom door. I simply can't understand why FR hasn't done anything about it. it's such a simple fix. Here are some before and after pics.
