One of the other projects that we are working on right now is the front cabinet.
Here is the photo of the new front cabinet bottom without the cut-out for the old TV

We have now padded and recovered it. You can see more photos on the blog.

This stuff really works!

(Although it is not a neat clean-up)

You can see the finished project here.

OOPS... I took a picture of the wrong tube.

We DID NOT use the above item for the windshield.

We used 3M Windo-Weld

You can see more of the "before" on the blog - but this is what the front cabinet looks like in its' current state:

We decided to do an upgrade on the amplified antenna switch in the front cabinet.
We went from this-

to this-

We also updated the antenna to the Winegard Sensar IV HD antenna -

You can see that it also has the Wingman UHF enhancer on it.

I am very pleased with this upgrade! Tonight was the first time I had to check out how this antenna works at night. We could not receive one of our local channels after dark before this upgrade. I am now able to receive that same channel- and the antenna doesn't even have to be raised!
I am VERY HAPPY!!

We replaced the complete antenna unit. I should have posted a link to the blog - but here is a photo of the old antenna:

You can see the difference in the shape along with the "extra tail" or "third wing" that is on the new antenna in my last photo.

I hope this helps explain the differences.

It does and thanks!
My old Daybreak already had the UHF extensions.
I see you replaced the whole thing. Prob'ly a good idea!

COOL!

We have ordered the new kitchen countertop. We will also carry it onto the entertainment center cabinet top.

Here is a photo of the old countertop along with a sample of the new top.

That's gonna be REALLY nice!
What we ended-up doing was that kit from Lowe's where you sprinkle plastic bits over the counters then clear-coat it. It was the messiest thing we've done so far BUT it looks decent and low cost. We did kitchen, dinette and bathroom, bedroom pull-out shelf. We'd do it again.
