Our Second Bus

Find out where your Corel program stores the pictures and what format the pictures are stored in (jpg, gif, bmp, etc.). When you load pics to the internet, you need to link to the location on your hard drive where those files reside. If you can answer the above questions, then I may be able to help you with the next step.

Okay, on my computer the pictures are stored as jpg. So how do I get them from there to here?

[Wannabe]

Well, I have successfully created an album on the site. Will try to keep new pics coming in.

Great! You can also post pictures in a discussion thread like this one in a similar manner. If you look below the text box you type in, there are two tabs, one of which is called "Upload attachment". You go through there to upload pics for a discussion thread, and at some point in the process, after you upload the file, you can "place it inline" so it appears in the body of your text.

I beg you not to use the "Attachment" method that was mentioned. It drives me nuts trying to see these pics in super tiny little boxes and having to try and scroll around the pic and get an idea of what I am looking at.

Just click the Img button under the red arrow, and put in the address between the Img "Book Ends".

[Wannabe]

Okay, here goes. My attempt to post a picture here.
I hope it goes through.

Okay, here goes. My attempt to post a picture here. [img]http:skoolie.net/gallery/v/Skoolies/Mypicturesskoolies.jpg/[/img]
I hope it goes through this time. My fingers hit the wrong keys.

[Wannabe]

Okay, I think I have a signature.

Fixed it for ya!

Between the [img]and[/img] tags you have to put the image address - http://www.skoolie.net/gallery2/d/30544-2/bus.jpg

You just put in the address for your picture gallery.

[Sojakai]

You left out the // after "http:" and don't bother putting the / at the end of an address. Its not really needed for any address unless you are putting something after it.

You can also "Right Click" on the picture and select "View Image" or "Open Image" to show just the picture itself, then copy the address from the address bar by highlighting the address and Right Clicking, then selecting "Copy". Then you can Right Click and select "Paste" to put the address where the blinking Cursor is. (Copy and Paste is also a good way of using Google as a Spell Checker when you cant figure out the right spelling... I do this somewhat frequently.)

Okay here goes. This is a picture of what we did to those window spaces. I have never used so much silicone in my life as we have on the bus, so far!

[Wannabe]

More pictures. Here I am painting the window stiles (inside and outside) before we put the windows back in.

[Wannabe]

More pics. Here hubby is getting ready to put the panel together. First, he cut Wolmanized plywood to fit the window space, then he glued Wolmanized plywood to FRP, then he routed the FRP to fit the plywood. Fit like a glove, cheap, and looks good.

[Wannabe]

My first attempts at window tinting ever. Not bad, huh! I didn't say I was good at it!

[jkindt]

FRP is great stuff isn't it.

[Wannabe]

Okay here goes. We have started putting up walls!

[Wannabe]

Back wall of the shower. Don't you love those pink studs? They are hard as concrete!

[jkindt]

What's with the pink studs? I have never seen pink lumber before. Is it a special type or did you just paint them to make them more waterproof around the shower area?

One of the tricks that I learned working in a shop that does tinting is that other than getting the windows absolutely clean, the edges are the next hardest part. If you end up with an edge that you dont like or can't get flush to the edge, just use some 1/4" black pinstriping and go around the outside of the window to hide the edge of the tint. This can be applied to the outside of the window and helps fix small mistakes in trimming.

[jkindt]

Is the pink similar to that Yellawood stuff? Treated wood? All I can get around here for treated wood is the nasty green pressure treated lumber. I don't trust the chemicals in that stuff in an indoor envirmonment. Never know what is leaching out in your living space.

[Wannabe]

The pink studs come that way from Temple-Eastland Lumber Mill. We bought them at the Lowe's here. They are regular 2x4's. Not treated. Just plain studs. I don't know why they are pink. Maybe a woman owns the company!
