<< Now does anyone have a source for the plastic edging for the edges of cabinets and around the cabinet doors and door openings?>> This is a "T" shaped moulding that gets pounded into a groove made in the edge of the (ply) wood. Try Outwater Plastics (NJ?) I don't know if they'll sell to individuals. Also, as I recall from my cabinetmaking days, they may only sell in bulk, like 500 ft rolls. List vendors...? A local cabinet shop will likely have some laying about. Come to think of it, I may have some (my dad was a cabinetmaker), though what I'd have does not have the thickness at the top of the "T" that our Westys have. I'll have to see if I can find an Outwater catalog in my dad's stuff. I'll check on any "T" moulding in the barn while I'm at it, and will report back to the list when I've done so.

<<Also... the setup on my Westy is just light brown fabric curtains strung over aluminum almost flat (they have a groove in the face) stringers over the windows. Now it doesn't make sense to have people advertise curtain rings for this type of setup so is this just not standard? It looks good. >>

FWIW, my Westy has the same alum. stringers.
