cabinets are all in, most of the appliances are in, almost ready for upholstery.
i'm really happy with my choice of teak & stainless, the cloth & materials should warm it up allot
does anybody have input for squeezing more mpg out of an '08' Cummins 6.7 diesel engine

Removing or gutting the particulate burner and installing a Bully
Dog or similar "black box" will increase both mileage and power. It is also illegal. A friend has done these mods and says his mileage is about 20 mpg on the highway, which is about the same as my preburner Cummins.

I must be gettin' close, i'm doing all the nit-picky things I've been putting off for months, the wheel wells.. .(you can tell it's been months, look at all the dust!)
plus all the appliances are in & tested, all the upholstery materials have been ordered, & should take place next week

WESTYSS, I'm busy sharpening all my blades getting ready for your cabinets!
to be honest, if you guys saw the shop I work out of, with the old, out of date tools I use you'd probably poop yourself (after seeing some of the shops here, (especially neverenough's)) The majority I bought back in '94' when I started building my home, my tablesaw is a simple Hitachi with a Rousseau stand, bought back in '84' when I was 18, but I know them, & they know me.
O.K. back to issues, I parked the bullet in front of my home last night, a steep incline, & it rained all night long. Shouldn't be a problem because of the way I designed the wall cap/softwall/ roof assembly. This morning there was some water inside on the floor. Now after I lifted the roof up, water fell from outside the softwalls, (where it should have never gotten to,) then dripped onto the floor.
Look at the detail of the wall cap/ roof detail,
I , coming from an architectural background can't understand how water got onto the softwalls in the first place. Maybe it's the bolt holes (although the bolts are tightened well),
what am I not seeing here, I do have foam weatherstripping on the 45 angle when the roof & the walls meet.. ...
I don't know, but the thing sure does fill up my driveway though!
& look at the pivot frame twist..
(I'll rent out my driveway if anyone wants to test their rig)
any insight would be good

An absolutely amazing job on the cabinets, and the build as a whole! Your efforts are a huge motivator. I wish I could see the work in person.:bowdown:
