Had a good time

 Hello everyone,

Didn’t get a lot done this past week. Had our grandson for a few days in the first half and went to see our youngest son In Tennessee for Christmas.

Had a blast all week, Christmas with the youngest son was really fun.

Got home on Christmas Day and then on Sunday I repaired the garage door that was broken and installed one of the running boards on the new van.

Started on the driver’s side but, as has been the case lately, all of the hardware wasn’t in the kit. I’ll go this week to the hardware store and pick up the few things I’m missing. Should get all the electronic gear ordered and start pulling wires this week.

Today we’re having Christmas at the oldest boys house and I’m going to bake cookies and get myself spruced up this morning.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and I’ll talk to you soon.

Moving along

 Hello everyone,

Been doing mostly new van work. Put up things temporarily to get an idea of how it’s going to lay out.

The new fan is installed, except for wiring.

This will be the basic setup. The walls behind the seat will be the “water closet”, the box in front of the seat will hold the batteries and the electronics. They’ll all be done is materials like the bathroom walls.  There’s going to be shelving above the seat and the bed plus some storage and shelving opposite the bathroom and seat.

Hopefully I’m going to start the wiring this coming week but, we’re going to Franklin to see our youngest son for Christmas about midweek. So, most of it will get done next week.

We’ll, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,

Still at it

 Hello everyone,

It may not look like it but a lot is happening. A lot of work on the new van, Thanksgiving week with our youngest son and a great trip to Branson, Missouri.

Let’s start with the trip to Branson.

First pic is at a winery on the way home, great folks! The third picture was the waking view at the winery beautiful!! The second and fourth pictures are in Branson, very pretty country.

Since we’ve been back, we’ve moved along pretty good with the van. The wife has carpeted quite a bit of the white metal, and I’ve gotten most of the bed cut out and fitted. I’m almost to the point of running wires.

The boards in the bottom pic will hold our chairs and our awning. The third one down shows the carpeted parts. The first one and you get an idea of the bed and storage underneath. I have all the parts cut for the bed and I’ll post a pic of that this coming week plus the intention is to install the new roof fan in the next couple of days.

We’re going to order the batteries and start getting the electronics here and then I can start running wires.

I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
