Update on Photos








They are all on the slide show but here is the most recent

Progress!

Okay, it's July right? Yikes, where did spring go! We have been working right along since the weather turned on Mo. He is partially replumbed..we removed all the copper and installed new Tec?, the plastic piping, in the entire system. The subfloor is also now down to strengthen the floor, it was a bit jelly like in the middle. We simply cut luan board to fit, glued it down with floor adhesive and nailed it. We will be picking up the all vinyl maple look flooring from Home Depot this weekend and installing it. I scored big time at menards and bought all of the roman shades on CLEARANCE! 13.99 each and ended up putting two on each of the longer windows which totally makes sense. Now you can operate them independently as each window opens individually. All of the cushions are done except one, going to work on that later today as soon as i muster up some motivation!

Laminate Table! Got 2 coats of behr primer applied to the table top. Then 2 coats of latex paint in a dark pumpkin color. Then I stuck vinyl stickers in various colors to tie everything in together. I currently have like 4 coats of gloss varnish on the table but am afraid I need to sand it down and put one more on. The problem you ask? FUZZ! I did this is my work room and thought I was free of any of the stuff floating around nature...oh well!

Last but not least, found a great resource for T MOLDING! Bought the coolest vinyl CHROME looking t molding that fits my countertops and table top perfectly! The best part? It didn't cost me an arm and a leg, $25 with shipping! for 25 feet! Will post a photo of this when we apply it! www.t-molding.com

Happy Rv'ing everyone, we hope to join you by the third weekend in July!

Spring is Here!

Happy Spring Everyone! Seems like the holidays were yesterday but glad warmer weather prevails! Just getting into the 60's and 70's here in Minnesota but the nights are still chilly. Big Mo has gotten a few new parts on the engine bought off of ebay. A new carb and a new belt. He smokes much less now! The cushions are all recovered and I am ready to paint the kitchen and the countertops! Just need a bit more moderate temps so it will cure properly! We have been scoping out craigslist and some local auctions for carpet for the front doghouse and the front seats are next on the list. Wish I could find seat covers for now rather than reupholster them but will do some checking online! Need to seal the new bathroom ceiling that we put in this last fall too, that was the only water damage we found so used interlocking flooring boards to create a new ceiling, then finished all the edges with moulding. Next up is the water heater and furnace, then onto the floor!
