Kitchen To-Do List

This weekend I decided to carry the basket weave trim to the mirror wall. Originally, I wanted the mirror to take up the entire wall, but that didn’t happen. I kind of like it with the orange on the bottom as well as the top. When I touch up […]

Last week I started my third class with Alyson B. Stanfield. She is the author of my favorite art business book, I’d Rather Be In The Studio. The first week, among other things, we were supposed to take a before picture of our office and do one thing to immediately improve […]

We had a bit of a snafu when trying to hang the mirror. First, I wanted to hang it horizontally. This would cover the window completely and make the room seem wider. There was great debate over how the mirror would be secured. This mirror is too heavy, that mirror […]

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall

After the failed attempt at plumbing we managed to hang a mirror and level the cabinet. Oh, my friend built a new toilet box/stand/support. I also cut some board to cover the pipe and my friend cut the trim. He realized he put it on the wrong boards so that […]

To The Make-Over, Batman

The following stopped progress for a day and a half: If you look directly below the valve, you will see the culprit. Plumbing is a bitch. We originally had a leak at the connection to the sink. It was a flexible plastic pipe with the nut permanently attached. My friend […]

Drip, Drip, Drip

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 […]

Shower Before And After Continued

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.

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 […]

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

The final purchase of the weekend and probably one of the most important of my RV living: The above, my friend, is a clear elbow for flushing the black water tank. It isn’t really necessary, but I have been told it makes the job a whole lot better. You […]

Final Purchase

July 4, 2013 in Nomad Life / RV tagged purchase / RV by Elisha

I will take a break from sharing my spoils to show you the little progress that was made. The section to the right and the wall to the left were the last pieces in the bedroom. That’s right, the bedroom is completely walled in. Now to finish puttying/sanding. […]

Progress

Another item I wanted for a couple of months, but hadn’t gotten around to picking it up, was a GPS system. I know, I could just use my phone, however, there are a couple of downsides. 1. It uses my data and I need all I can get. 2. If […]

More Toys

I was not feeling well last week and did not get a lot accomplished on the RV. We still made progress, just not a lot. I did manage to make a few purchases while I was feeling under the weather. Since I don’t have a lot of other progress, I […]

Big Spender

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 […]
