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!

Wallpapering over Paneling in an RV

So just hit me the next time I say I want to wallpaper. It's bad enough on four relatively straight walls with no interuptions. Try an RV with curves and windows and corners with beadwork and paneling with grooves! Didn't have to fill in the grooves as they were minimal. Thought I was going to go up to the seams in the corners as they had rubber bumpers in them, but alas the first one went around tightly and seamlessly sooooo.....I thought why not. Well the other two not so much. One small child with pokey fingers and I have holes!

Brightened it up anyway but next time I will choose paint! Well paint only as I had two coats of primer on this paneling so it wouldn't bleed through.

First Venture out of the Barn!

Okay, the day was sunny, the neighbors were home and we pulled the big bad stinky beast out of the barn for a car wash trip! More than one head turned let me tell you!
