[VAC] Re: indow leaks

[RESORARCHITECT@xxxxxxx]

Some of the window leaks and wet window sills and wet floors and wet under 
cabinet areas might come from a less obvious spot...namely high up on your 
roof. Water can get in at the base of the vents and under the skylight curbs. 
That water might travel internally down the inside skin of the shell and find 
it's way to the window tops where it might appear that you've got a window 
leaking. 

Bonnie and I were all over our roof in the last few weeks cleaning and 
resealing vents and the hood vent which had leaked so badly that it 
deteriorated the range and the cabinet under it. 

We used "Vulkum" and masked off exactly where we wanted it to go. I applied 
it with my finger in most cases...used considerable paper towels, then peeled 
up the tape carefully and presto the strips of vulkum run cleanly around the 
objects and areas to be sealed. We filled several holes including two bullet 
holes with this technique. We are curious to see how long it will last.

Thanks to Inland RV we were able to replace all the broken window cranks and 
missing handles and now imagine our thrill at being able to operate all the 
windows. The only tricky part was installing the little white plastic guides 
that slide. A few of the little springs went flying to places unknown! But 
suprisingly they work fine for now without those bothersome little springs!

We love to go outside to our "Project" and turn on all the lights, open and 
close the new (eBay found) screen door, sit on our restored couch, show it 
all proudly to friends that drop by...etc, you know what that's like.

Our next project will be to rebuild the fold out, expandible dining table. 
Stuart and Bonnie.
