Ok the weather has finally gotten a bit warmer so I got a lot done this past weekend 
 ran all the new propane lines. I rerouted them to be in less precarious positions.
 re installed the command centre with the added new water heater switches.
 The second round of retro brite went much better than the first I am quite amazed at how much whiter everything got. some pieces required more work than others but all are looking good now.


 cushions ready for there bleach and water bath to kill any mold thats in them. (notice how helpful my wife is being in the background)
the makeshift cushion bath.

 Ok got most of the rough plumbing finished up

 I dont think this wire was hooked to anything????
 Or this one???
 Dad came over to help
and determined that the water pump is dead........  

 AAAAAAAHHH another leak .... ok it was just a loose rivet but I had to dismantle half the wall to get to it very frustrating.
I got the drains and vents re installed as well as put the firdge in place. moving right along.

I dug the weight distribution hitch parts out of the shed to start cleaning them up. I still need to figure out how this system works. the parts are also cobbled together but i believe they are part of the same system.
cleaning up and putting rust preventative on the fridge coils hopefully this will by me a few more years of service.
I added the break away switch and put a top coat over the POR 15 on the tongue. rumor has it that is handles rust very well but not UV rays so its best to top coat it. for the price of the stuff it should be invincable!
I also started working on the plumbing pex is fun to work with I just hope it does not leak....

Here you can see I have plumbed in a water heater bypass recommended by lots of folks on the airfourm site. This way you can add antifreeze to your lines and drain your tank in the winter. I think this will cause me to have to modify the cabinet that covers this area.
trying to figure out the water tank /pump connection to city water lines. a  lot of plumbing trying to live in a very small space.
