In Missy, I constructed a built in bed frame. When I moved into the house, I moved the queen sized mattress but I needed a frame. So… I went to work building one. For reasons that are beyond my limited mental capacity, I’m kinda into the rustic look these days. I started looking around the… [Read More]
Pebble Shower Floor
The shower in my master bath was all tile and it looked ok. Sadly, the person that installed it apparently didn’t know what they were doing. Having been thru the lesson of tearing a house apart to the studs because not everything was ‘perfect’ – I tried REALLY, REALLY hard to leave this shower alone…. [Read More]
Constant change…

A number of changes have occurred recently. No surprise right?!?! 🙂 House Most significantly, I sold my house at the airpark. Chalk that up to another lesson learning about myself. I’m not a homeowner. No big surprise there. Purchasing it a couple years ago seemed like the right thing to do. It wasn’t, at least… [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]
Water Filter
This is a bad post for one of my friends. You know who you are – please stop reading now. I installed water filters on my house water supply line. I’m not a clean freak or germophobe but living for some years in my motorhome showed me how unclean water can be. The following is… [Read More]
Concrete and Plumbing
A few updates on the house project. The time had come to fill in one of the gaping holes in the master bathroom. The new toilet plumbing was in place and filled with stone. I didn’t pour concrete right up to the drain pipe – where it comes up thru the floor since I’m not… [Read More]
Door Openers
In the MASSIVELY HUGE category… The hangar doors are now working very smoothly and are a push button operation!! After man-handling them for a few months, this automated operation is really swell!! Previously, the doors would mostly open to about eye level but then had to be pushed the rest of the way up –… [Read More]
