What to skip and what not to overbuild.

What it does not do. Ask Vandyman is for planning, education, and decision support. It is not a certified electrical, propane/gas, structural, legal, insurance, or vehicle-compliance plan, and it does not replace a professional installer, electrician, gas fitter, or inspection. For anything safety-critical, it points you to a qualified professional and to Chad.
