    Water Heater at High Elevations

    I use a Bosch 2.5 Gallon Point of Use electric. They come in 4 and 7 gallon versions as well.

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    Curbside all cut out and ready to install. The hatch, window, and door aren't mounted. They make the wall heavier than it needs to be to put in place.
