Finally got that trial run!

Posted 04-19-2012 at 07:51 AM by missyloopy

Finally talked the hubby into giving the Ambassador a try. Stayed close to home, just in case. I packed the clothes, and food and he filled my truck with various "what if" tools, including extra everything from pex parts to gas fittings and several tool boxes and even a full size ladder. And with all that planning, he still had to go to the hardware store, several times.... After making a wonderful jamabalya for supper I began the dishes, and every bit of water I put through the drain...

I never want to see a sewing machine again...

Posted 03-13-2012 at 07:37 AM by missyloopy

Well the sewing is just about finished... just a few curtains to shorten and one mattress to make... but after reupholstering two sofas and making 7 curtains and about a dozen throw pillows I am in need of a little time out.. Trying to talk the hubby into a test run next weekend, "you can make sure all of your plumbing and wiring is functioning properly" so far no bites!

Spent the day repairing fiberglass...

Posted 02-19-2012 at 06:19 PM by missyloopy

Ambie has only been home for a week now, but ceilings and walls are cleaned, all wood work is cleaned, oiled and buffed. Last week I spent my time recovering the sofa and making curtains and
yesterday was the new flooring, but none of these days have come close to the 'fun" of repairing the fiberglass in the bathroom.... I am sticky, I stink, and it currently looks worse than when i started. I just remembered how much i hate restoring campers....AGHHH!
