Without much to be done in the bedroom (we couldn’t cut framing because of all the rain) and having to take turns in the bathroom, I spent a large portion of my time in the living room. By this point, I was way too tired to clean up before […]
Monthly Archives: May 2013
The rain, aside from slowing down construction also slowed down the workers. I felt like I could barely get going in the mornings. I slept in 2 out of 3 days. It took half the day to fully wake up. However, not only was I able to use the worm […]
Memorial Day Weekend Extras
It rained the entire 3 day weekend. Monday, just as I was about to leave, there were 75 mph winds. I went to the basement instead. There may have been tacos by candle light. Because of the rain we were very limited on what we could do. We had […]
Bedroom Update
The above from the end of last weekend. It wasn’t a great pic so I didn’t post about it. You can see from the upper right, the paneling was removed. This is the area that corresponds to the leak in the bedroom. The toilet comes and goes. There was […]

Bathroom To-Do List
Apparently, if you have a guy who builds houses and a guy who built his own garage helping on your RV, you are no longer the boss. I mean, they’ll be all cute and ask your opinions and call you the boss, but it’s really a formality so you will […]
More Destruction
I have been working on these two paintings for a little while now. I’m not very happy with either one. The Elephants are just a little dull for me, but every time I work on it it seems to get more dull. I stopped working on them, hoping […]
WIPs
I work with all the essentials. Starbucks is part of my tool kit. My smaller tools have a new home.
Almost Forgot
Roll it! That’s my toilet. I took it out myself. It was really easy, but disgusting. That is where my toilet lives. I had to cover the hole because I did not dump the tank before I removed the toilet. I didn’t think that through. I thought we were […]
On A Roll
It’s amazing what three adults and a 13 yr old can do. Who am I kidding…it’s amazing what a 13 yr old can do, especially when the promise of burning and smashing things looms large. Luckily, we had one tag along. The 13yo was responsible for clearing off most […]
Now We Are Cooking
I have spent a month trying to find a new cell phone carrier after Verizon tried to seriously screw me over. I tried T-Mobile again, however, even though their customer service is 95% above reproach, I couldn’t make it work. I’m now on to AT&T. Moral of the story: […]
In Search Of Service
I have moved on to smaller paintings for the moment. Mostly for mental reasons. I wanted to feel like I was actually accomplishing something. The smaller sizes also allow me to experiment and fail without investing a lot of time. If I like something I can add it to a […]
Giraffes
The first weekend of May was much more productive. After going to the Chiropractor 4 times in a week, I was able to really dig in Friday and Saturday. I won’t even get into all the yoga, icing, and ibuprofen it took to get me to this point. After taking down […]
Bedroom Tear Down Part 2 of 3
This is some legit stuff. I’m only going to give you 4 1/2 today because I want you to pace yourself. These are rockin’. In order to go from a “studio” apartment to an RV I need to learn a lot about organizing. I love having a clean house, but […]
Serious Link Love
As I stated in the video, there was some water damage when I bought this RV. I did my research. Google said, “Water damage? No problem. Easy peasy.” Google even gave me some how-to videos. I was set. First, I had to remove the cabinets. How hard could this be? Just […]
Bedroom Tear Down Part 1 of 3 (?)
I know what you are thinking. “Elisha, there’s not a lot of art on your art blog.” I have actually finished 3 paintings this year so far and I have a few in progress. Unfortunately, I’m having issues with my camera connecting to my computer so really good photos […]
Commission – Tara
Womp, womp, womp. I have my first casualty. That is some dead lettuce. Maybe it will perk back up, but I do not hold out hope. I noticed this two days ago. I had not watered the TTs because it had been raining almost nonstop since I planted […]
Dead Lettuce
No more shelf! So much space. Sorry for the bad pic. That’s just my future shining in…it’s so bright and all. The first weekend I had the RV (after I picked it up from Ohio) I drove to my Grandma’s. I had my niece and my brother Ninja […]
Mini Updates
I have wanted to start gardening for a few years now, but I thought the dream of home grown tomatoes would have to sit on the back burner while I lived my dreams of gypsy life. I had a brilliant idea for a bumper garden and Google quickly showed […]
