You are too kind! And my "class" is achieved from extremely long moments of procrastination (thinking time). Haha! Seriously though I enjoy sharing the info because it is how I accumulate ideas for my own projects; by watching other people's projects. Then once you start working on a project so many things come to mind that you have to start limiting ideas to fit the allotted time frame. Just on the cup holder that I am currently working on, I had enough ideas to easily double my time invested. I'll probably have 7-8 hrs alone into the cup holder once completed. Definitely didn't want to make it 14-16hrs. Lol.

I was trying to post some more photos, but I received a message stating that I have exceeded my limit. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Is so, how did you fix the problem?

I've finished the tile work and would like to share some photos of the finished work, but I can not post photos directly to the thread. I will probably compile an album with before and after pics, then I will post a link so everyone can see. Sorry, I will try and get something done by next weekend.

You may have to try to re-size your photos. I think 600x600 is max size.

Maybe a moderator can chime in to help.

I know when you become an IRV2 Supporter, you get additional privileges. Maybe that comes into play as I never have a problem with photos.

I have enjoyed following your reno's thus far.

I was contacted by a moderator this morning. They have to manually remove the attachments to free up some space.

You can use a free online service like PhotoBucket and just link to the pictures.

I have used Drop Box and Public Facebook Albums, but then there is just a link visible in the thread. I would like to have the photos visible in the thread. I will also load an album in the photo section of the website soon.

It's DONE!

Well I finished the motorhome about two or three weeks ago, but like I previously mentioned I had exceeded my attachment limit. So, I downloaded all the photos of the finished product onto my computer and compiled some photos of the motorhome before the remodel. Then I uploaded them into an album on the IRV2 site so you guys can check them out. Please take a look and let me know what you think. It has been a real challenge getting this thing done and I am ssssoooooo HAPPY that it is finally done!

Just found this thread, and enjoyed the progress, and attention to detail. I can do things, but detail is my downfall. Too inpatient, to get on to something else. You do beautiful work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks, Steve. I'm glad you took the time to read the thread. I don't know if I get more enjoyment from finishing a project like this or sharing with other. Either way, now I'm trying to decide what the next project will be.
