After sealing all the grout and installing the faucet/shower head, my waterless shower is no longer waterless! Note from JD: The earlier shower construction posts are here and here.

Bathroom Heated Tile Floor
With the help of my interior design consultants, the decision was made to go with a tile floor for bathroom and shower floor. Of course, picking out the colors was the hardest decision – at least for me! Good thing I had help. Under the tile floor, a Schluter Ditra heat system has been installed…. [Read More]
Clothes Washer Dryer and Friends
A HUGE thank you to my friends Dave, Les, Mike, and John! Thanks to them, the new Kenmore combination clothes washer dryer is in the coach!

Houston: We Have Cabinets!
YES! The cabinets are here! And they look FANTASTIC!!! Ohh… before I forget – I added an update on Missy operation to the last post. She came thru her three days of surgery just fine. The front end feels much better (tighter) and that will be a good thing in heavy traffic (that’s the only… [Read More]
Missy’s Basement??
Someone asked about the size of Missy’s basement. I’m not sure it is appropriate to be asking questions like that but I’ll do my best to answer anyway… 😉 Yes, Missy has a basement. That is what all that storage space under the living space of an RV is called. She is listed as having… [Read More]
Electrical System Design
This post is likely to bore everyone except that one fella who may someday stumble onto it looking for tips for doing something similar. Sorry everyone… My house electrical system is not too different than what you will find on larger motorhomes. There is 50 amp shore power, 50 amp generator power (no generator yet… [Read More]
Working Full Time while Living On The Road in an RV

Rather than continue to type up the same response over and over, I’m going to type it up one final time, and refer people here. Pretty smart cookie, eh?!? We all know that every case/situation is different… [Read More]
