I reposted your pic file so it would be easier to open. Hope you don't mind. What an exceptional idea! Much better the the plan I had to use magnetic tape and magnets along with some bug screening. Thank you for the splendid idea. I can't read the Magzo info very well in your picture. What size did you order?

Thank you so much for posting pictures !! I am technology illiterate ?. I ordered the 24x80 one. Originally ordered the 26x80 but they added too much extra. The 24 allowed me to put right beside door.

My wife made up some blinds for the pop top windows they're secured with clips.
Some weather stripping on all the cabinets to keep dust out.

Trying to see what I can do to get that propane tank to be better mounted.

The little wings that the tank sits on are not connected to the bottom of the bracket and are extremely flexible.
I cut them off and now the tank rests on the actual shelf of the bracket which is more secure.
I have to figure out a way to modify the strap so it actually holds the tank tightly.
The one strap is adjusted as small as it can go and I can easily lift the tank out without undoing the strap.

Those are Powertank brackets are are very commonly used. My tanks do not budge once tightened down.

I cut the teeth off so the tank rests on the plate. Those wings are not fused to the bottom plate so there is a lot of flex with them.

I spoke to Power Tank and with the brackets we have, there needs to be shims that will compensate for the different sized 10 lb tanks. I am being sent shims . The newer version of the bracket has adjustments so the strap can be made tight.

Unfortunately our bar box, a very nice Alu Box did not fit in the space between the cabinet and the bed area.
Very tough area to find a container ,box or bag that would fit in the space. Just about everything was one inch too wide.
But diligent searching online and I found this wine tote that fits perfectly in the space.

A nifty addition to my Yeti cup is called the Flask Kap. It holds an extra 5 oz of your favorite beverage and is dispensed a half ounce at a time by a pushing the button. Saves time on getting those refills.

What is the namebrand of the tote and which site did you find it on? Nice find!
We also use insulated bottles so the wine and Scotch do not get too hot.
