Cool On a roll

I'm getting ready to get all the materials necessary to build the U Haul conversion (see thread here) next week. I'll post some pictures when I git 'er done if I can do that from my phone.
Also, found 100 tealights at Hobby Lobby for $5 and some of the trick birthday candles at a party store for .10 each.
And I'm going to get a 5 gallon propane tank with burner for $25 used from a pawn shop. The tank looks like it's brand new. Gonna try it out first but there are several to choose from at the same price so it's pretty much a done deal.

I forgot to mention a coupla things I found. At the party store where I got the trick candles, they had a case of 12 of the methanol gel type burners (larger than most Sterno cans) for $15. They're supposed to burn 2-2.5 hour each. Might be worth thinking about.

Also, Harbor Freight is going to have a big sale the day after Thanksgiving. Their 45 watt (3 15w panels) solar setup that usually costs $250 is going to be on sale for $160. I've been considering those (includes charger controller) for awhile so now might be the time to jump.You can print out the coupon from the HarborFreightUSA.com website.
