    It was more he was wanting to use them as an overlay in Gaia, and I'm not sure if that's possible in the formats distributed. I'd investigate further (or even draw him a quick kml based on the map) if I had time, but I unfortunately don't.

    And actually the original order(s) if I remember from the closure thread discussion was just east of the trail, and then like a day or two later they expanded it to the west side as well. That was probably enough to cover things, but it is a fire, so best to always check for the most current and up to date info available.

    Anyone here do cabinet making? Specifically looking to make a bathroom vanity for a small shitty bathroom that I'm attempting to make look nicer.

    Every vanity I can buy in a store or online doesn't work or fit. It needs to be around 27 or 28" in width, single sink.

    I could easily build a box out of plywood but veneering it is out of my league.

    So I'm looking to see if any TW brethren or sistren want a project. Looking for the vanity cabinet then I'd buy the sink and counter top to mount.

    Anyone thinking of adding the OVTune to their Gen3 let me know. I can save you some $$. I installed and have the hardware. Reach me through "Start a Conversation." You will need a compatible computer and OVTune Software (Registration and License). I can help you with the install - Computer ID, ECU ID (need OVTune Registration / License) and Tune download/flash (from OVTune). There are about 1000 pages to the OVTune thread - do your reading. I have had all of the TSB's done for shifting enhancement through Toyota - this puts Toyota TSB's to shame. Truck drives and shifts 100% better. Got my OVTune hardware from a local member who sold their 3rd Gen and went F150 because they added family and needed space.

    Picking up stuff from Tim (@Adventurous) I went by west end of JeffCo airport. Turns out they are just completing a Manufacturing hanger for Pilatus aircraft. Looks like they will be building their pc-24 for the North America market here.

    https://www.flyingmag.com/pilatus-breaks-ground-on-new-colorado-facility

    Know there are several ex military aviation folks around and this might be a great opportunity.

    https://www.pilatus-aircraft.com/en/pilatus-group/career-usa

    Anyone remember name of guy getting out of military (Virginia- navy I think) who was talking about moving here in fall?

    Edit: actual job openings list

    It's in my "master" bathroom so I'm thinking something a little more substantial just for the aesthetics of it. Plus I need some storage for everyday items.

    Probably. The 23 5/8" at Ikea is way too small.

    Anyone have experience with these type of sunshades?

    https://www.amazon.com/Coolaroo-California-Sun-Shade-Rectangle/dp/B00WODYJR6

    Mainly wondering if it'll work well as a wind break. Going to be a long wait for county to approve any building plans so I'm going to make a temporary garage work area and wanted to use one of those for a wall and one for a roof to span the gap between the shed and the greenhouse.

    I have a feeling I'll have a toy to build on shortly...and need a "garage"

    Can't upload a pic since tw hates me (it's been "uploading" for 5 plus minutes), but we built a quick and easy open style vanity for one of the projects we were working on. Basically a bench style with top spot for sink to sit on and a lower shelf. We built it out of timbers and solid wood then wrapped it in barn wood.

    That way you can build it to whatever size and shape you need.

    Purchased, no. Designed (on a team) one of their neighborhoods, yes. I'd swear someone on here bought in Thompson River Ranch...

    I have that exact item at my house. We use it as a sun/rain shield over my crappy ass deck. I would think it would be fine as a wind break too. It is on its 2nd summer over the deck and has been holding up great. I am going to rebuild the deck and figure out a new use for it, so I guess you could say it is a pretty good product (since we have plans for it, haha). I threw some camp dry waterproofing spray on it when I first got it as well, but it wasn't letting water through when we got it.

    Sounds like it'll do the job you're looking for it to do. Sturdy anchors as well.

    If I give you my email address can you send it there?

    I like the idea of a bench style but I would have to incorporate either one drawer that's the full width or a couple that are smaller. My daughter and I share this bathroom and need some storage for every day stuff.

    I love the look of these vanities (cabinet only) at Restoration Hardware but they cost more than both of my vehicles combined:

    That sucks, sorry to hear. But it does sound like most builders I've heard of (and a couple I've dealt with as a consultant for people).

    Sinks are petrified wood... Interesting but not my style or income level.

    Counter was just temporary
