Make-Over

Here is my new shower head/faucet. As you can see, the old shower head didn’t even hang on the wall any more. This shower head is supposed to be a fancy, never clog, oxygenated, use less water shower head. I think it looks like the Alien. I may get […]

I have updated the bedroom and bathroom lists. So close, yet so far. If you want to see where I started, click here. I’m working on pulling stills from the video.

To-Do Lists

I tried a panoramic shot. It turned out a little funky. You can see some of the dings on my pretty walls. The room is now more than an inch smaller in width. I don’t know how that happened since we did not touch those walls. We just hired […]

Bathroom Update

I hope you are ready for some more before and afters, cuz that’s what I’m all about. Thanks to Johnny this shower went from dingy yellowed white to bright white. It’s so pretty it hurts. Oh it just doesn’t stop, the pain from the pretty. After […]

I have a couple of posts about the bathroom this week. This is what one wall of bathroom looked like: This is what it looks like now: Clearly, I picked the orange. We still need to sink in and spackle the finishing nails, add crown molding, baseboards, and some vertical […]

Bathroom

I’m going to show you the bedroom before it’s finished. Last weekend, I thought I would surely get the the bathroom all finished (except the floors.) Then I couldn’t find any hinges/handles for the cabinets. I messed up the counter top so I have to sand that. Okay, so the […]

I think this is going to be the last bedroom update until it is “finished.” I don’t know if I will replace the lights yet so it may not be finished for a few more months. Luckily, the rest of the bedroom may be finished in a week or two. […]

Bedroom Update

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

June 25, 2013 in RV tagged Bedroom / Construction / Make-Over / Remodel / RV / RV Makeover / RV Remodel / Water Damage by Elisha

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 […]

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 […]

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?

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

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 […]

Bedroom Floor

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 […]

Minions

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, […]

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 […]

Living Room

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 […]
