A quick stop at the RV maintenance place and many $$$ later... phew! Wow! Big numbers!
The guys did call me on my cell soon after I brought the
Boler in, saying, "We'll need to order a (Charlie Brown teacher language) for the (wha wha wha bwa), $80 each."
"Yes, sure!" I said. (Parts for the
brakes. Probably necessary, eh?)
The broken toilet was not fixed (it was original to 1978) but replaced with the coolest hippest smoothest most lovely RV toilet you could imagine. I mean, you could swoon over its yacht-like lines, so sleek! Then there's the dual-foot-pedals: one to let in water, one to flush. I can hardly wait!
Next -- ooh, la la, a working porch light! Broken since we bought the Boler two years ago, now glowing all cheerfully and helpfully.
A person should have long glamourous fingernails, like the Spokesmodels on The Price is Right to show these items off. "It's a .. NEW PORCH LIGHT! Your new
porch light features a handy switch on the exterior as well as an interior switch for ultimate convenience."
So this sunny windy afternoon, I was out there in the carport, lovingly cleaning and gel coating the exterior. Smooth! So shiny! Such a pretty pretty thing!
