Facelift for our Capucine
After 2 weeks of cleaning, scripping silicone and old glue, and demolding we finally are ready to have some fun.

We changed all the window screens for no-see-um screens, shined the window casing and now we are painting the ensolite. It was to grey for my taste.

Tomorrow we are putting her back together. Pictures will follow !

Can't wait to see the pics. I know it's hard work to scrape the silicon and old glue, bit it sure makes a difference. Good luck.

With a name like Capucine, I would gone with a light coffee colour. Pun intended.

That little camper will be a whole new egg when you are done! We'll be looking forward to the photos. No see-umm screens are a great idea also!

It took me a few minutes to get it... Never taught about it, but I am a coffee fanatic. So it's even more fitting !

NICE! Fresh looking, especially like the back splash. Good job, now for a glass of wine!
