I can see that working and working well. But seals/gaskets I have in place now are of the home depot variety designed to stop drafts. Doors and Header rail are no longer a exact fit thanks too many fork trucks. Today properly was my first real issue on getting them open,and its not like I shouldn't have seen it coming. Simply opening them at the end of the wash and shaking some water off may have helped.:D

Day 7 in the truck, 3 loads for upcoming settlement. Just turned down a mini that takes me farther away and it didn't pay enough to justify starting my log book and buying more fuel with nothing on the other end of it.. Thinking I'll just make a dinner date with the grandkids and go have some fun in town with them blowing up portals on Ingress..
