those windows, those ports
didn't all those guys get their start in Alden's office. They all drank martinis after work, smoked Camels, and played shuffleboard together. Maybe the era was just a bunch of nerds interacting in the local bar. What do you do with a two hump coach roof and a sweet sheer?
Does anyone really believe that Rectangular Acrylic Ports is the answer for the salon? Or round manholes. Maybe if you chopp and channel the salon for a nice sleek line and the headroom of a Commander. Hell it's your boat, screww it up! That's what I'm doing to mine! But I hoisted a few with Carlos first. Yes I did.

Got those opening ports from Spartan. Next to the prim and proper bittie aluminium ones these look like they came off a LIBERTY SHIP. The glass at the most is one square inch larger, but the bronze ones are absolutely huuumoungous! 4 1/2 pounds compared to ounces (the aluminum ones don't register on the bathroom scale.)
The Spartan's have a spigot you could mount in your living room wall. Well, in your front door. So most of that will be cut off. Come out a pound lighter at least. Great for the ultimate storm.
Maybe they'll mellow. They are a fine yellow. The finish is smooth right on ballsy, but if you want it to shine you have to pay $100 per each more. Chrome, you're outa luck. More description on the piece? ask me.
:D
Back on the subject (just for a moment)
Thus far, my every attempt at saving those %&*@!!# "camper-trailer windows" has failed.
It would appear that the stainless steel screws have welded to the aluminum frames. I have tried WD40 as well as a penetrating oil (forget the name, but the folks at Home Depot thought more hightly of it than WD40) several times, but none of the screws will budge.
I've tried manual screwdrivers, as well as a bit in my cordless--I actually broke the bit trying :(
For the hell of it, I tried drilling out one of the screws, but my bit (a nice, new, shiny Craftsman in the chuck of an 18v cordless) barely made a dent.
How can I get these things off in one piece? Suggestions?
