Thanks Richard! And thanks to all who have responded... it has all been very helpful. One feller said (too lazy to go back and see who said it, but thanks) that I should use EMT heavier than 1/2" if I go that route. Yes, I sure might. Guess it depends on overall weight and cost and structural needs (like I'm qualified to specify that!). I thought I'd just use them closer together if I used 1/2" dia. Plus (I'll invent a phrase-) I will be going "semi-geodetic" in that I will have some diagonals where needed also. *IF* I go that route. I have the luxury of time here. I was poking around at a recycling yard looking for cheap metal panels. I saw a big fiberglass(?) bubble used to streamline large truck trailers. I have been looking for a way to use that! How kewl would that be! But I can't see it fitting in. I could protect the plane from the weather by using a plastic or fabric covering but I think I'd better go for a lil more security than that. Lowes has some galvanized (Galvaume? Galvulume?) roofing panels, 3' x 12'. Hafta take my scales in and weigh a panel unless I can find details on-line. > Why reinvent, better to take someone elses. Re-inventing is a waste of time, except maybe it stirs up the old brain cells. But maybe I can come up with something good nobody else has yet. I doubt it though. I'll probably just borrow ideas from several places. >I had decided a long time ago that I was the list cheapskate, but I guess not. Gas welding rod is not free, but I never worried about spending I gotta at least be in the running here for 'list cheapskate'. I started doing welding with coat hangers as a kid when I had NO money. My exhaust system on my 4x4 has lasted about 13 years so far, welded up with coat hangers. I have encountered no cracks, no tissue rejection, it just works. It is all tucked up high between my frame rails for protection, cat, muffler, pipe and all. It still takes a whack from the errant rock now and then, even though there is a large rock-slider covering most of it. The Sierras seem to be made of rock. :-) >All they ever did was commit perverted acts among themselves in the darkness of the closet. WAIT!.. wait a minute... you are anthropomorphizing here. Hangers are not people. They have their own culture and social mores which determine 'normal' and 'perverted' for them. Even animals behave that way during certain seasons... newts, bats, frogs, some fish, some snakes... I can still hear my anthro prof saying, "Culture determines right and wrong!" :-) > You could tell what they had been up to by the huge, tangled wad they would always be in every time you wanted one... Perhaps you fail to perceive that they do this as a service to those of us who weld with coat hangers. It is a natural, instinctive thing for them.

Coathangars are good well-rods, but like a number of other inanimate objects; they DO mess around at night when the lights are out. No other way to explain the unwanted proliferation & huge tangles. Esp for Kolbs -- so this is related. Russ K PS My grandpa used to talk about "the utter perversity of inanimate objects". Boy was he right. PPS The trailer website is invaluable. Thanx to you & all who contributed to it. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:34:00 PM PST US From: russ kinne Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re; Ideas on enclosing trailer Bill I'm puzzled. I got the same 1/1/02 message from GeoB but it came in at the top of the 'today' inbox list on my Mac. These damn' things will be the death'a me.
