After 1300 miles...

For anyone who wondered how sturdy my lights would turn out to be, this is after we reached Vermont from Florida. Looks good to me. :-)

whoa! We have cabinets!

Got the cabinet doors on in the kitchen. YAY!

Yeah...they tow good

We arrived in CT on friday and stayed in a nice state forest till today. Today we moved to another location where hubby could play with his power tools. We still need to make doors and drawers, after all. Well, we just towed thru the bumpy roads and traffic signals of Hartford with all this junk in our cabinets. Only two things fell out. :-)

There stands Jackson, like a stone wall.

Stopped at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Funny, i lived in the area for 10 years and never went to the park. Now i have! More photos later, this is all i have on my phone. Mobile post.

Thought for the day...

Freedom is stopping for a lazy hour at a rest stop to cook lunch instead of NEEDING to track down a McDonalds because you drove till you were starving.

Not all wine and roses...

Well, we stayed in Tugaloo state park for two days. There was a lovely lake there, and last might we went for a stroll down the shoreline. After enjoying the walk for a while, i accidently slipped in mud and scraped up my leg pretty good. I'm ok, but it does sting.

Campin in style!

In tugaloo state park, GA. very pretty, very serene. This is good. :-)

way down yonder on the Chatahoochi...

We layed rubber on the Georgia asphalt, we got a little crazy, but we didn't get caught! Crossed the river into ga this morning. Stopped at stone mt. In the afternoon. All in all a good day. Mobile post.

FINALLY on the road!

We left yesterday, only a week and a half late. bleh. And it seems hubby didn't learn the lesson taught by Luna bending and squeezing out the back hatch on our last trip, and left her loose in the trailer. She ripped out every single screen. At least she stayed in the trailer this time. This was a mobile update. :-)

SUCCESS! the propane has finally been plumbed!

more decoration....


and we're packing up and GETTING THE HECK OUT TODAY. come h*** or high water... we are getting OUT

blargh.

well. we thought we were gonna leave over a week ago now. but things didn't happen the way they were supposed to. partly due to hubby's brother saying "oh, no. i already had plans, don't worry about being here for my birthday. i won't be there"

i was feelin kinda bummed about it... so i decorated

handmade curtains, got the fabric supercheap (85% off original price) because a local fabric store was going out of business. i got enough to cover the dinette cushions, too. and my stuffed unicorn/pegasus/horse collection. scratch curtains off the "to do" list.

we SHOULD be leaving tomorrow.

whooooo! we're *technically* road ready!

stove is in, sink is in. old sink, new faucet . Comet does amazing things. floor is in, and Luna approves. Luna also approves of the placement of her 'den'. toilet is in.










things still to be done to FINISH the trailer:
fabricate cabinet doors and drawers
hook up all propane lines
wire in inverter
sew covers for cushions and sew curtains

almost done!

kitchen cabinets in, kitchen countertop in (its not anchored down yet in this photo, so don't worry about the funny angle its sitting at) bathroom countertop finished, but again, not anchored down. and the shower stall is almost finished (fought half the day with that stupid white stuff ... i'll finish it off later.

in all likelihood... carpet and tile will be going in tomorrow. hopefully.

Getting closer.....

just a little bit more cabinetry to go... got most of the curbside cabinets in today... despite hubby injuring himself.

also installed, hooked up, and tested a washer/dryer combo. gotta be prepared if ya run outta clean socks and underwear, ya know?

tomorrow the rest of the cabinets will go in. along with, hopefully, the stove and sink. horay!
