Missy’s entryway and stairs are DONE! Well… wait… “Done” might be a bit strong. How about “Done, for now…” or “substantially complete” – for now – instead?? 🙂 The entryway project begins here and continues here. We left off with some finish work remaining on the stairs. Staircase That finish work was primarily the “nose”… [Read More]
More Work on the Stairs
After cleaning up the old covering and left over adhesive from Missy’s fiberglass staircase (here), it was time to get busy covering them up. Selecting the flooring Attempt number one was with an inexpensive wood laminate called Tavern Oak. I spent some time cutting and fitting the panels for one stair step. Sadly, I just… [Read More]
Cleaning up the stairs
Missy’s entryway has been fairly “industrial” since her conversion started. Meaning… black and ‘warning yellow’ rubber-like flooring on the stairs, exposed mechanical bits, and generally pretty ugly. I decided to spend some time improving this area – purely out of vanity. I know… but this is the first thing a person see’s when they come… [Read More]
Mountain Biking to Stonehenge
I know… Stonehenge was entirely unexpected! My son and I went mountain biking on some local trails this past weekend. As we were scooting down the trail – it popped out of nowhere! I thought it was a much longer ride to get there but apparently not. For some reason, I also thought it was… [Read More]
For Amanda – Flight to Bendit
Amanda – this one is for you! Last week you asked: “What is Bendit?” So, I created a video for you. This is all footage from my very early morning flight out there this past Saturday morning. It’s as much about getting there as it is being there but I hope you get the idea…. [Read More]
Ceiling and A/C Ducting
Lots of thought and effort (thought is effort, isn’t it???) has been going into Missy’s ceiling lately. I continue to be impressed with RV/motorhome designers!! The number of things that they are responsible for is impressive. Including the design, making it all work with very limited space, and getting the build order correct so everything… [Read More]
For Pete
I normally try to keep my wood working tools pretty dull. Actually, all my cutting tools. Recently, a friend was teasing me about how dull my knife was so I sharpened it. This is the result!! This is for you Pete!! For those of you that recognize Pete’s name from comments here, he (and his… [Read More]
Johnson Creek Flying/Camping Trip
Time for another backcountry flying/camping trip to Johnson Creek. Last years trip report is here. My flying buddy, Mike, and I departed at 0530 Sunday morning and headed north. The entire trip north is full of beauty and its hard to take it all in. We spent a few minutes exploring the Canyonlands/Moab, Utah area…. [Read More]
Amarillo on my mind…
I made a day trip to Amarillo, TX earlier this week. On the way home, I took these photos of some storms over east-central New Mexico. A very pretty flight home!
Negrito Airstrip Work Weekend
The New Mexico Pilots Association (NMPA) backcountry crowd recently had their spring work weekend. The goal this year was to repair fence and eliminate some roads at the Negrito airstrip. I’ve built roads but never eliminated them so I was excited to learn something new. I must admit, the “work” part of this weekend is… [Read More]
