Final Touches

Like any kind of construction job, we didn't quite make our completion deadline. There were just too many little things that needed finished up before we set off on our "maiden voyage." So we opted to wait another two weeks and do it right.

Over the long weekend I worked on cleaning cupboards and drawers, putting up a new mirror (the other one webbed when Lindsey got the final staple in the frame), decoupaging quotes, sewing curtains, touching up paint, and caulking the outside.

The picture below is of the floor in one of the stow-away compartments. Dirty....Clean. That's what the original floor looked like before we tore it out and put down new subfloor and laminate wood. I'm happy to say that you can now eat spaghetti off of it.




I quickly caulked the outside, trying to beat the next South Dakota tsunami that hit. Lesson learned after the first one raged through and left water leaking through random invisible areas.

By gritting your teeth the caulk sticks better and you can work faster. It was super windy but the job got done.

This weekend is D-Day! We are escaping the 40 hour doldrums and taking Barbara to the middle of nowhere for the Wishard/Mangis branding. Should be interesting. Us girls will stay in the camper while the guys camp out in their new range tents. On Sunday, after the work is done, I will hit the trail to Nebraska to help the future in-laws with Rodeo Bible Camps.

A complete reveal will be coming late next week...
