In keeping with updating my entryway I needed to add some finishing touches. I knew I wanted to add some type of wall tree. I decided to keep it a low budget project since I have other projects I need to spend a lot more money on in the future. I already had the blackContinue reading “Repainting the storage trunk”

I finally completed one RV sheet. I just decided to sit and sew just to get it done. It came out great. The 1/4″ elastic in the ends and corners was a perfect fit. I had to buy a new set of knit sewing needles. Right in the middle of sewing the sheet the needleContinue reading “RV Sheets Update”

I painted the wainscoting and I love the white Benjamin Moore Advance high gloss. Now I have to choose the wall color. I narrowed it down to 2 colors.

What I liked about the spray bottle is that there are spaces to write in the contents you put in the bottle and anyContinue reading “Painting the hallway wainscoting”

The RV has a leak in the back. We have to take off the roof and go in the back. Next week we begin Operation Fix-a-leak. This is a big job. There’s no doubt about it. The exterior needs a lot of TLC. The Forest River, Sandpiper decals are starting to peel off. I foundContinue reading “Preparation”

Tuesday my family and I will have a 32′ RV brought to our house in need of some updating and renovating. We have lots of ideas. We have done lots of research and watched many u-tube videos. We are ready to take on this project.

Thanks for joining me! Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
