Snow...

This winter has been one of the coldest I can remember.  We have had multiple days in single digits and yesterday got snow.  Unexpected snow.  So work on the RV has come to a stand still.  Here are some great snow pics from Loudon County TN.

New Projects New Year

I like to think of myself as a creative person.  DH would argue that I have ADHD instead. But whichever category I fall into, I have a long to-do list!  Back in November I snagged from deals on a TV and Blu-Ray players.  I started yesterday by taking that tube TV and VCR out of the RV.  I went a head and measured the cabinet.  My plan is to put a brace of plywood in the existing cabinet and mount the extending arm.  when the RV is in motion, the TV will not be mounted and the cabinet will be closed.  When RV is not in motion, then the TV can be mounted and the Blu-ray player will be connected.  The existing tube TV has a 12v plug so I will have to do some modifications because the new TV is not a 12v.  Hmm....Oh well! The brackets on the new TV were not easy to remove.  We had a horrible cold snap and a blast of Arctic air move in last night.  Went from mid 50s yesterday to today right now its 11 degrees.  Its predicted to be down to 1 degree tonight.  This is not my kinda weather.  I guess I will spend the rest of this week shopping for samples!  Stay tuned as the project moves on.

New Year!

So 2014 is here....and I continue on with the DIY RV projects.  After reading a lot of other blogs, I'm fairly confident that I can repaint and maybe even repaper the RV.  I've decided to go with a nice tile/stone looking wallpaper for the kitchen and booth area.  I've also contacted to get estimates on reupholstering the booth cushions and the recliner.  Because lets face it, I can't sew. Also, I have now gotten all the TVs and Blu-Ray players for the RV.  So stay tuned!
