Re: Pressurizing the water system on a '66 Sportsman

I share your frustration with the lack of response...... and appreciate the thanks.

I wish I had some experience with the older Avions..... the best I can do is offer what the owners manual says....

Did you get a good answer from the FB group? (I don't participate there).

Re: Soggy Subflooring in Bathroom

Aw, crud! I hate that you bought that exact kit...... the kit you'd need would look "like" the kit I showed you..... anyway....... I will try to find the exact kit needed for our faucets.

Good luck with the search.

Re: Soggy Subflooring in Bathroom

Sorry, I do not, but I think there are screws under the wallpaper that covers that panel??

I know that others here have had that panel removed. Hopefully someone will chime in......

Re: Soggy Subflooring in Bathroom

Good job! That faucet is easy to fix. They make repair kits for those that include little springs and rubber seals for the hot and cold sides of that valve. There's also some pieces to fix the lever/ball that the handle moves to mix the water. It'll look something like this: https://www.amazon.com/D...

Re: Soggy Subflooring in Bathroom

Is the vent cover intact? This is the original vent/fan?? (The one made by Hammond, with the rounded corners?) Assuming the water is coming from above, how is the water getting in? On the roof, is the sealant intact around that vent? (This is a fantastic area to use Eternabond sealant tape.) If the ...

Re: Empty LPG tanks?

That's good news.
For the pilot light: if you lift the top cover that has the cast iron burner grates on it, do you find a small valve towards the front that feeds gas to the pilot light?

If needed, let me know and I will take a picture of our stove.... we probably have the exact same one.

Re: Cast Iron Cooking

The waffle iron did arrive! Very impressed with the craftsmanship! I am looking forward to using it.
From the label that was on the package, it is obvious that Tony has a sense of humor!

Cast Iron Cooking

Does anyone besides me like to cook using cast iron skillets, dutch ovens, griddles, etc? I learned how to clean up cast iron cookware to make it look like new. What started my obsession was when my mom gave me her Wagner dutch oven (mom is almost 92, and it belonged to her mother.... dated to somew...
