I realized the other day, somewhere in this adventure, my main goal in the renovation disappeared. The plan was to put the RV back together in a way that is easy to take apart again, just in case their is water damage in the future. If you notice how it […]

What happened?

Elisha Dasenbrock Back Wall – To the left: Back Wall – To the right: As you can see, Johnny came back. As you can also see, crazy spray insulation application runs in the family. This wall literally took us all day on Saturday. I cut the […]

Weekend Update

That’s an English proverb I read on Life Hacker yesterday. I saw it around the same time I got this wall post from my Aunt. This project really is so much easier than it should be. Yes, there are plenty of obstacles, but most of those are my own […]

A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skilled Sailor

We were all over last weekend. I put up a thin layer of pink insulation over the ladder support board. We could not find an 1-1/4″ insulation so we had to get the purple in 1″ and the pink in 1/4″. My friend dug out another trench in the ceiling […]

The weekend started out a little rough. I got up around 6 A.M. for a head start. I made some of those eggs in avocados. They are all the craze in the interwebs. Then came the first trip to the wonderful world of Menards. The weather was lovely when we […]

In the words of my maternal Grandma, my Topsy Turveys just “tickle” me. Look at that little baby tomato! It is going to be so delicious when it grows up. What are some of your favorite tomato recipes?

We covered the very last of the bedroom floor with Mighty Seal Sunday. Now you see it: Now you don’t: I will probably go over a few places a second time (or third) time. This does make sweeping the floor a little easier. All weekend my friend was talking about […]

Floor

I had to rent a truck for some wall panels (that’s right, I said wall panels) and another sheet of insulation. Menards runs their trucks on propane fuel! Do you all know this? The gentleman renting the truck said it cost about $8,000, but the state of Illinois refunds $4,000. I […]

Propane?

I have two main blog goals for this year. Take better photos. This has been a goal of mine for awhile, but even a college class didn’t help much. I’m still working on it though and thanks to my new phone, I may have moved forward a little. I found a […]

Blog Goals

While my niece sanded the cabinets, I started on the toilet parts and sink. I did not sand the sink. My brother came over and said, “tsk tsk” so I sanded the toilet. I don’t know if I’ve ever really sanded anything (except a point on a drawing pencil.) I […]

Painting Prep

I really want to paint the exterior of the RV with tinted bed liner. I haven’t quite decided if I will or not, but if I do I need to pick a color. I was really inspired by the beautifully painted adobe houses in Santa Fe. They are so different […]

Exterior Color of RV

I know that line is supposed to be a husband singing about a wife, BUT my plant baby is having a plant baby! If you knew how many plants I have callously murdered, you would understand how significant this is. I actually thought I killed the adult plant. I didn’t […]

My Baby Is Having A Baby

We did so much in the bedroom, I had to break it down. Johnny and my friend have both bugged me to use *Flex Seal somewhere on my RV. I caved when it came to the bedroom sub-floor. The fresh water tank is under the bed. At first I […]

Yesterday, I gave you a heads up that Johnny was back. You know that means we made some real progress,so I hope you are excited as I am. Not to mention, the minion was a sanding beast. Johnny and my friend replaced the rotted board around the outside/under bed storage. […]

Bedroom Update, I’ve Clearly Lost Count

June 13, 2013 in RV by Elisha

*Johnny, practicing his mad ninja skills. My plan was to sell the awning, as I previously mentioned. However, everyone agreed that it was really nice. I’m not that impressed. I will give it a chance though. With proper sealing, it may grow on me. It was nice to work under […]

The Awning

June 12, 2013 in Nomad Life / RV tagged Awning / RV by Elisha

I has one. *My niece may have gotten in trouble last week and I may have had to teach her the valuable lesson of “if you do what your Aunt tells you to the first time and don’t back talk, you won’t have to scrub her RV toilet that strangers […]

The latest on the very slow progress. The weather has been very crazy lately. The weekend before last I was 50 yards from a tornado and didn’t know it. I was already in the basement (I tend to do that when there is even a strong gust.) Then last weekend, […]

In case you didn’t believe me about the tomato plant flowering. MMM, I can already taste the BLTs. But wait, there’s more: I really have no idea what these are, but I’m going to take a safe bet and say my peppers. I can hardly sit still with the excitement […]

Fiesta Flatware from JC Penny’s online. When I was trying to decide on the secondary color for my kitchen, I just couldn’t decide. The determining factors were: It is going to be the same color and connected to my living room. It is also right next to the bathroom/bedroom which […]
