Burns may have said it first but my lass did this for me. Our new permanent bed with comfort foam topper. Matching curtains, fitted sheet, top sheet and bolster. With the quilted cover total cost was about $40.00.I think she did herself proud. EH?

Very comfy looking.

Did she get a reward for her good deed?

that looks like a most comfy bed! She did a great job.

The bed in my 13 was the nicest bed I had ever had. Something about the cocooning effect in a rig that small. My bed in the 17 is comfy, but it lacks that "fluffy" comfy feeling of being captured in a small defined space.

I could love to use the big bed in the back, but I have too much going on in that area to give up the space, and I am far too lazy to make it up daily.

looks nice and cozy.. nice pic

Wow, your Lady Faire did a fantastic job! Lots of comfie campin' in your future, eh? Take care, L 'n D

I have the other end torn apart, bunk removed and cushion cut to make a front dinette and we found the material on sale the other day. Hope to have pictures of the new table and cushions soon. Going to pick up the table stand tomorrow. Then back to the outside and a new axle, marker lights, hatch covers and finish painting the last coat. Next year we'll tackle the cabinet doors and mabee re wire. A guy has to have something to do in his spare time.

That is just cute as can be! I love it!

My lass also made a bed for me. Her reward was to attend the 2008 Bluebonnet Rally. And yes, the material is Texas Bluebonnets.

Now that's bright and cheerful.

I LOVE it. However, you do realize that it's made up with the head at the wrong end ...don't you?

Hi: Well for heavens sake...just turn the trailer around

Right Alf! The head end depends more on the lay of the land.

Hi: Jim... My Gal spent one night with her head in the sink!!! The next morn the Vulturers were circling o'er head and I got photo's to prove it... I do know the MaxxFan really works. Now where's Mr. Plumber???

Was that the night we got into Pauls' Blackberry Wine? I remember what it did to him.

Oh my Yes!
I had to install an over the range microwave in her kitchen.

Have just finished the final touches before the Emily Gathering.

Found a couple of tote boxes to give us some additional storage under the bed. Here's the new Dinette and those macrame hooks are great for hanging a battery operated lamp when not needed.

I re-configured the drain for my water tank after the valve broke while flushing the system. It used to be on the tank in behind the wheel.
I put a 5 watt solar pannel on the stone guard and connected it to the plug at the battery. and have added a waterproof 12v outlet at the battery so that we can connect our battery operated cooler and run it in the dining shelter. After the summer I will attach it permanently either behind the propane tank or behind the spare tire.

Things STILL on my Procrastinators list.....
Re-wire electrical
Replace axle
Make new cupboard doors

Right now it's time to do a little camping.
Jim

If I recall James, you are not responsible for the delay in replacing the axle. We both are in the same boat on this one, just on opposite sides. I've got a replacement axle and you have someone able to put one in. I hope we'll both be have our axles in by the end of July.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the camping. I've got 5 days blocked off and devoted to the trailer before we head off to Emily. Then I can get a little camping in, see what others have done and contemplate my next dozen or so projects. I've got the parts on hand for a few of them already.

Roy

Hi Roy
Camping season is upon us. Our daughter and husband and twin 20 Mo old boys just flew in, today, from Grand Prarie Alberta for a week. Guess we'll head for the beach and use the trailer as an extra bedroom for the cottage. Then home, repack and hit the road for Emily. Got some plans for August too. The axle might have to waite until Sept whan things slow down a bit. Egads, but I do like retirement. There's just no time for rust to accumulate.

Just because we get older doesn't mean we have to BE old.

Hi: Roy...& Jim... Sounds like both of you guys are up to your axles in work. I just added a full length mirror to the "Throne Room" door...then all I have to do is decide what stuff to take to Emily???
Remember... growing old is "Standard" growing up is "Optional".

Is the mirror facing in to make the throne room look bigger or ???

If you are at a loss for things to do, I'll be working on my trailer if you miss the fixing up stuff. You'll be within a couple of km of me on your way to Emily. I'm not too far from the 400/401 interchange (hint hint)

and like my Mom always tells me.... just cause there's snow on the roof, it doesn't mean the furnace is out.

she's 83! scary eh!

Well you saw what I was able to accomplish just before and during bolerama. We are back home now and the axle was installed today!

I'll post details on everything in the appropriate forums just as soon as I can.

Not really Scott,
The older I get, the more I realize those that are older than me usually have more wisdom.

Including, on days when he's thinking well, his own wife -- I've got 6 months on him.

Hot Darn!
Glad you finally got your axle. I'm still in waiting mode. Added two outside access doors and new clearance lights today. Started sanding the lower half for it's second coat of paint.

As to the age thing. My Mom's 98 and my Mom-in-law is 96 and theiy are both going strong yet, so mabee I've got a chance. EH!

Sadly, my Lass just uses the Egg. She has no interest to contribute ideas or effort.... Sooooo.... I just jump in and do it myself.
