Dang it Cootay that entertainment setup looks awesome....How did you make the brackets for the speakers and tv?Neighbours are gonna love you !!!

 

[Stan Lee]

hey Cootay ... would u please be kind enough to run me thru how u made the curtains?? (ie a DIY instruction guide )

 

[Cootay]

Expanda, I actually 'borrowed' the bracket idea from someone on the forum, if I could find the feed i would credit them. Bent some aluminium, grinded two slots in them, screwed on the brackets (because of the weight used heavy duty ones with solid screws, therefore the block of wood) and then just slot then into the two screws that have been put in the opened frame.


Stan lee, I purchased the curtain rails from Barnes caravans, screwed them to the roof and into the bottom of the top bunks frame for the lower bunk. After being told from spotlight that they would want $100 per curtain and needing six curtains I did the unthinkable and purchased a sewing machine for $150, got the material, watch some YouTube videos and made them myself.... The measuring was the worst of it, hitting the pedal on the sewing machine and keeping it straight was easy (even with comments from the wife that the pedal wasn't an accelerator on the car)

Great job Cootay - a very practical mod.

Might have to brush off the dust on my wife's sewing machine and get busy!
