On top of that we are leaving in less than a week. We have plans to meet up with some of Mike's family down in Edisto Island, SC and then stop in to see Jeff and Sandy Bacon on our way back and then make our way up to the New Bern area to look at some house. Yes I said houses. Our lease on the condo is up in September and we REALLY DON'T WANT TO renew the lease. So its time to figure out what we are going to do.
But how about we talk about a couple of the updates we did to the camper today in preparation for our trip next week.
Mike worked on replacing the faucet in the bathroom. For some reason when they installed the faucet at the manufacturers they installed such a short necked one that you can't even wash your hands underneath it. So Mike picked us up a new one and worked on taking out the old and putting in the new. Well as he put it a 10 minute job turned into an hour job. The old faucet was "torked" on so tight he literally had to take apart the sink just to get to the fittings. But he was victorious and we now have a new faucet. Oops didn't take a picture of the new one. Later.
We then moved on to the bunks. We just loved how these turned out. We still have one more modification to complete back here but for now this space is 200% more usable than what it was before.

Mike then installed the over the door arches, that previously had been covered in that oh so ugly brown fabric. I opted to pain this saying on the main door entrance.
Then this is the one that he installed in the bathroom on the second outside entrance. Yes there is a door to the outside in our bathroom. I guess they figure if you are outside and need to use the bathroom you can use this door and not traipse through the whole trailer.
We were able to get some non-perishable food loaded up along with most of our clothing (since we will need summer clothing). Things are coming along but we still have a couple of more things to do. I am finding it difficult when I am working full time (hopefully not for long) to get things done and then throw in being sick all week, actually still am. Oh as Mom used to say "this too shall pass". We are both looking forward to getting on the road again, it has been a while and we are getting a little anxious to get back out there.
