Yes, the blog has been pretty quite. However; I have been able to find the time to sneak a few small projects in. Remember a LONG time ago (here) when I mentioned separating the bedroom/bathroom from the living area in Missy? Well, Missy finally has not one but TWO pocket doors!! As noted above, the… [Read More]
Missy Energy Budget
As you know from previous posts, I just love the details!! Especially electrical details!! One thing that people occasionally point out is that I have never posted an energy budget for Missy. It’s true… sadly. What’s an energy budget? Read this. The one I did for my Newmar Dutch Star is here. The problem has… [Read More]
Stairs and Entryway are DONE!
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]
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]
Far East Trip… Complete
We made it back to New Mexico!! After spending some time in and around Colorado Springs, it was time to be home. Missy made the jaunt south without complaint – she even seemed to know where we were headed. That was really nice as, after setting the cruise control, I was able to make a… [Read More]
Far East Trip… Colorado
The far east trip is going swimmingly! Missy and I made the drive from eastern Missouri to a friend’s place near Imperial, NE late last week. Missy ran just fine and I hung out for a couple of days visiting. Of course, I completely forgot to take photos… again. We then traveled to Falcon, CO… [Read More]
Missy’s (semi) Annual Checkup
Missy was due for her annual checkup about seven months ago. The far east trip trip that we were on took me very near the bus shop that did her last checkup so I decided to use them again. Once again, I was reminded that I am a horrible communicator. Emailing the shop started more… [Read More]
A Tiny Little Bump
I’ve installed three of these touch panel dimming light switches in Missy. They support both 12VDC and 24VDC powered lights which is helpful as my permanent lights (mentioned here) are 24VDC but the temporary lights in the bedroom are 12VDC. They are touch switches. I like everything about them… Except… There is no tactile information… [Read More]
