The Shitbox - That there's an RV

jeepin' jen said:
Remember those cabinet doors I meticulously prepped, primed, & painted? Yeah, we won't be needing those now. My dad went to town on the interior & decided to re-do pretty much everything & add an extra 300lbs :lol: I'm currently on strike from any more painting activity until he's done ripping out beautiful masterpieces. I have to say, his work is 100000% times better than mine though!

So over the past couple of days:
  • New, wider bathroom door (we live on the thicker side of life)
  • Removed the cooktop
  • New countertop + bottom cabinets
  • New storage cubby under dinette
  • Re-faced closets
  • Removed odd ball boards in cabinet out of curiosity & instantly regretted discovery
One of my exciting new purchases that I totally justified after seeing the cost of curtains & cushions was a sewing machine. I can't sew...yet...

Hahaha I've gotten that question quite a bit actually. I'm starting to think it's more of a project addiction. And while we both love VWs, I don't see one in our future. Joe thinks our next one will be a diesel pusher (insert face palm).

There's a few places we want to camp that we simply can't fit. Plus, it'll be nice to have something smaller for short weekend getaways with the ability to pull the boat or a trailer. I still haven't figured out how we're going to manage going from a king bed to a full size :eek:

And so we can drag you and Joe out on a trip with us misfits.

Dead serious I want y’all to come some time!
 
Now that we're back on track, I just got a text showing the new closet/cabinet doors were installed today. The new faucet arrived yesterday so we'll be able to get that measured out to install soon.

Thanks - we're definitely looking forward to having it ready for quick getaways! His schedule has been modified a little since he scans employees - goes in early so he gets off at 1:30. I keep trying to convince him that he could use that time in the afternoon to get shit done on the Sami but he doesn't want to cut into his nap time :rolleyes: Hopefully it'll be ready to roll in the spring.

Naps are for wimps @Mulishajoe
 
Nothing super exciting but progress is progress. I have the week off & a ton of projects to get done so I'll try to sneak in some time to work on this little gem. Today I accomplished wood filler. This shit is a little trickier than I thought so I'll have some sanding in my future. I'm pretty sure there are 5,000,000 screw holes in that tiny thing :eek:
