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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

If I recall James, [b]you are [b]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.

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".
