The In-Between #8

It's been really, really hot here and I get  a LOT of crochet done when I'm not working on the bus! That, and I couldn't sleep ... so here's #8:

Now, I cannot find the original pattern and do not remember where this one came from! I'll keep looking and update this post when I can :)

Happy Hooking!!

Never-ending Paint ...

It seems that everything needs to be painted and since we did not remove the interior walls ... we needed a paint that would stick to metal. So we primed everything with 123 Primer and then used a nasty enamel on the walls in the very light gray from our color palette... the color's pretty though! Took all day and a lot of patience because that stuff is THICK!

Happy RV'ing!!

The In-Between #7

These square are uber easy and can literally be done in one evening! The hardest part is getting the colors right LOL

Happy Hooking!!

Surprise for Daddy ...

It's been yucky here the last few days and I haven't gotten too much done on Freedom. I decided that I wanted to make a surprise for Daddy 💕 and have been working on it in uber silence! Shhhhh .....

Well, days and days later ... and a grand reveal to my love,, I can now share on my blog!

I took the dining table from the original RV that Daddy 💕 was going to remodel and repurposed it for Freedom. I used chalkboard paint (yuk! never again) and had a vinyl made for the lettering ... I tried to coat it with different epoxies but apparently, chalkboard paint is picky! Since the table might get wet, it was SOOOOOOO hard to find the right one and it was a nightmare. I will never, ever use chalkboard paint for anything other than chalkboards again! 😢

They did have pretty colors that matched the decor! LOL

Heres a collage of all the work I did .. it was fun!

and the grand reveal! TADA!!

Happy RV'ing!

The In-Between #6

It's time for another square in Freedoms special blanket! After seeing some of the not-so-pleasing-squares from the CAL I was doing, I ventured off and found other ones to do! Here's #6:

This one is by Carolyn Christmas and is called Emmalynn Square (download it here). I absolutely loved this pattern!! Another square closer! Yay!

Happy Hooking!!

Pony Wall ... No Not the Animal!

Daddy 💕 originally wanted to keep the cushion covered wall that came with the bus but I didn't like it at all ... a.) it's BROWN and b.) it's gross ... so while He was gone on a well, I took it out 😳 That was the first and last time I did that ... He was quite upset. So I had to come up with a way to replace the wall, hold the hand rail and be structurally sound ... voilà!

Now, to figure out how to make it structurally sounds .... yep still thinking on that! The pony wall didn't take a lot of time to build so I covered the tire wheel with plastic and got ya'll a better shot of the vanity space!

It's coming along ...

Happy RV'ing!!

Toilet Room ... More Decisions!!

We finally got the toilet in that I wanted specifically for Freedom! I researched and searched and decided on the:

Dometic High Profile 310 RV Toilet White Porcelain

The Amazon reviews showed 4.6 out of 5 🌟s! That's pretty good for RV toilets! I am HUGE on star reviews and takes them into account for everything I buy online!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe commode of commodes

Bybuyeron October 29, 2017

Size: Standard Height|Color: Bone|Verified Purchase

Fixed a crappy problem in my 5th wheel. Very easy install, about 30 minutes to remove the old and install the new, looks great and is comfy to sit on. I did need to relocate the water inlet from my rig to align with the fitting on the toilet, but really wasn't a big deal, took five minutes at most.

The greatest thing about this toilet is that it's porcelain and flushes around the rim like a residential toilet! It cost $131 with shipping from rvpartscountry.com. Great place to work with!! The only issues are the foot petal is plastic, as well as many of the internal parts ... one review made some suggestions in extending the life of the lever, which we'll be doing once installed!

Now, to decide which direction it'll fit in the toilet room LOL There will be a wall between the toilet room and the vanity ... just not there yet!

Happy RV'ing!
