    I don’t even know what tuition is like right now, but I remember how much it went up for me. I’m stressing at how much I need to save so my son can go to college. Even grade schools are expensive!

    Out of those options I would do the fan and wait on the doors. We’ve installed windows after the fact. It’s more expensive if you have us do it, but if you’re handy it can be done with commonly accesible tools.

    The fan is a little more involved. We weld additional bracing to frame the fan. It not visible, but just little details that get covered up. There’s also hidden wiring to make it all clean.

    I’m glad I stumbled across your build thread. Never stop exploring!

    It’s stupid expensive now, even living from home. I see why so many people decide not to go.

    Is the fan waterproof? I always wondered how that works.

    Totally water proof. We are using a huge RV fan that moves tons of air.

    Here’s the outside and inside view.

    Feel free to PM me any questions. I’m happy to help, but I don’t want to clutter Bijan’s thread.

    Welcome to the club.

    Did that up in big bear earlier this year. Here is hoping it's just the spindle and not also the LCA. I bent that as well.

    Time for a set of gusseted spindles and then a spare set for you or others with you that bend theirs.

    So far, just the spindle was replaced. If the alignment can't get back into spec, I'll replace the LCA next. Going to buy a set of spares and gusset them.

    yeah! Good enough! Adding people is easy, but what I really want to do is link everyone's page to their name on the list.

    That's the tough one
