[SEL] Display opinion revisited ( results )

[Steve Gray]

Hi Folks -

   Many thanks to all for the many helpings of compliments. Makes the 
work worthwhile!

   To answer Craig's questions, as stated, I've been involved with this 
thing for nearly 9 years, the first several had it stored outside due to 
lack of space at the old property. Being originally a car trailer, it 
had the obligatory "pre warped" 2 x 10's over which I had put cheap 1/2" 
ply. The weather took care of that until I moved here to Sonora in 2000 
when I had the barn built. Had a patch of dry rot about 2 FEET in 
diameter directly under the Lister twin! Around October '02, I field 
striped the entire unit down to the bare trailer frame and started back 
with new everything. The deck is fully primed & painted 2 x 8's, covered 
with fully painted 1/2" ACX ply screwed down every sq. foot. This was 
then covered with standard house linoleum flooring glued in place 
(having used the remnants for the shop bath, it now matches the 
trailer!). All the outer edges have the gold flooring trim strips. All 
the display items then had to be cleaned up and/or repainted. All the 
electrical is new since the generator was a new addition, and is fused 
for a total 6900 watt load. You'll notice the twist-lock outlet on the 
gen set. That gets a special 'pig tail' cord feeding my property during 
our many outages. ;-)

Thanks again to all!

- Steve
