I'm Tired

Finally got the steps figured out, looks great.
Used flooring for the fridge fascia, looks really cool.
Of course, I raised the toilet and the plumbing is now too short.

Lots to Report

Still waiting on a shower solution.Since the rear wall is angled a normal surround wont work. I think I found a fiberglass solution that will need to be painted.
Counter-top is awesome, still need to clean and attach the stove.
Vinyl flooring, water proof and thin like laminate flooring but it doesnt lock in securely like laminate. Dont think I will ever use this stuff again, but it looks nice.
Back wall paneled for a headboard, water tank in and almost plumbed. Every time I touch something its back to Menards or the RV store. RV plumbing is not fun.

Time to catch up

 Electrical challenges
 Did you know RV walls are thinner so normal outlets dont work
 New LED lighting
 The new countertop
 Trim rings installed
 New window trim ring doesnt fit...creative wood trim to compensate
The back wall is angled so the normal surround will not work, custom custom custom...

Back in the Saddle

Been awhile due to rain and a flu bug running through the house.
Got the forward roof back in place with carpet and TV reinstalled.


Second coat of paint and wall repairs done.
Rear window cut out, very scary, but it fits. Hope the trim ring is the right one.

Pluggin' along

Each day a little farther, rain coming. Got first coat of new roof on and the interior primed.

Ready for Primer

Emptied, cleaned and TSP'd, actually TSP substitute, WTF.


Priming cause we decided to paint.

Ordered counter tops, each one was considered custom, aren't they all unless you buy a straight piece off the rack?
Was thinking about upgrading the power converter, but the replacements are for model specific applications, so how do you know what you have?

Catchup Time

Its been raining a lot so I have not been able to do much on the outside. A break in the weather allowed me to do a roof leak test and after finding small pin holes in the roof, decided to seal the whole roof.

Still tearing apart the inside.


Shower and tub is gone now, saw more water damage...go figure. Built a new higher base for the toilet.


Getting ready to prime and paint cabinets and doors.

Still under a tarp

Started working on the inside, found water damage on rear wall. I just dont know what to say so I will let the pictures do it.

Another whole day and I am beat

10 tubes of Lap and two tubes of silicone.

New TV antenna, still need one more vent and two vent covers, a couple of dry days and a water leak test. Covered with a tarp for now.

Replace and seal everything

So it has begun. The systematic replacement of everything and LAP sealing the shit out of everything.



Roof deassembly

So in an attempt to find the leak everything must go. I see a lot of water damage.




Looks like damage back to the air conditioner but I found some damage on the side where they installed the awning.

I QUIT AAARRGGHHHHH

Not only has everything gone wrong today, and I thought the wallpaper peeling because I installed it on a very humid day, but the ceiling and everything below it is soaked. That's what I get for skipping the water leak test before I buttoned things up!!

I do however believe there might be another leak at the ceiling vent, not that makes me any happier with everything soaked.

Wallpaper

So the decorative wall sheets are damaged and dated. We're gonna try now wall paper over the top. So far it looks great.


Dog Houses

Both dog houses in and ready to be screwed down.

Finally some progress

Seal the floor with kilz, add some caulk and sound deadening material.


Upper dash went in but not without difficulty. Doesn't seem like it was designed very well, but it is in.
Speakers in, reading lights in, TV to come.
