Brought Sloth in for Makeover

Brought Sloth in to TZS Auto for his beauty treatment!

The Bamboo Has Arrived!

We are so excited to get going - we can hardly wait!!! Here are a few pictures of the bamboo flooring. It is double the width that we were expecting (less work) and we are so excited (less seams)!!! Now we are starting to contemplate installing bamboo flooring in the basement - it would really lighten up the room. There are also a couple REALLY cute shots of Mouser - she is such a model!

Removal of the Inside!

Kurt spent the better part of the day removing the interior of the VW. I spent the better part of the day in bed nursing my cold. I think that he was much more effective than I was - he is finished and I am still nursing the cold!

Two Key Events....

First, we took the lovely ride to Charlestown yesterday to visit with Uncle Roger and Little Roger at Dean's Hill RV. We had so much fun!!! What a terrific place, I love their used product section. While we were there we picked up a used Norcold 323 3-way, 1.7 cu. ft. refridgerator! We are so excited to be able to have cold food with us on the trip!!! This will make bringing our hommus with us a lot easier :-).

.

Second key event, we think that we found a great couple to stay at our house. We are still corresponding so nothing is definite yet but the three of us are feeling more comfortable knowing that our fish, Mouser, and the house may be well taken care of. They seem to be a lovely couple that enjoys the outdoors and has a son that currently lives in Boston!

MindMyHouse.Com

We are starting to get nervous about leaving our house for a month and don't want to put Mouser through the trauma of adapting to a new home. We have enlisted the help of Mind My House; a site that puts house sitters together with houses that need to be sat. View our ad here. So far, we have received 9 responses from people that are interested and we only posted two days ago! I am really hoping to find someone that will love our house, fish, and Mouser like we do!

Fantastic Family!

I spoke with my Uncle Roger last night about the interior of the Vanagon. He is a WEALTH of information!!! He also has a used RV 3-way fridge at Little Roger's store. It is a deal! We are going up this Saturday to bring him photos and pick up the fridge. We would love to bring up Sloth but we are not planning on registering him until March so, for now, he is grounded. We have run into one little hitch, while Kurt was investigating why the sliding door is not opening and closing properly, he discovered that the runner has rust. We are going to see if our AutoBody shop can weld on a piece for the runner. So far (knock on wood) that is the only area of concern.

Nip and Tuck

Kurt spent the better part of today with Sloth. He was trying to figure out the maze of cabinets. He has come to the conclusion that they were originally installed using magic.

Hoard-a-saurus!

We are in the process of collecting materials for the grand makeover!!! We have new foam for the backseat, soundproofing material for the walls and floor, new muffler, end cap for the bumper, and new insulation (to replace the asbestos in the engine compartment - boy does that stuff make me nervous). We brought Sloth into the body shop for an estimate. He is going to get a new look (close shave and new hairstyle). We cannot wait! Sam and I are busy looking for just the right colors to do the inside. And, oh, did I mention the bamboo wood floors?
