Reconstruction continues

When we got up this morning, Foxy thought it might be a good idea to go out for breakfast, and we soon headed to Denny's. Food was good, and soon we were back at home and continuing with our reconstruction. Foxy taped three more areas for primer today with paint tomorrow. She finished the primer and, although covered with paint here and there, felt that lots of progress had been made. My jobs included putting up more reflective sheeting on windows, restoring the cherry wood edges to our slide being repaired, and finishing installation of our wood blinds.

I also took out the carpet and love seat from the living area disassembling the love seat. Then I took the pieces to one of our storage units, in case we ever put it back in the coach. We are planning to put one of the Amish fireplaces in the space. It is on order and should arrive in a week or more. It can be used to heat the space in the winter electrically and is very energy efficient. We also plan to install a large screen television behind the fireplace which can be raised and lowered when not in use. The young man Rian who is making our new cupboards will look into the mechanism for the television and also make us a gate-leg drop-leaf cherry table for the dining area. So there is much going, and yet we feel like we are making significant progress. Tomorrow we should also get more floor tile and will continue to put down tile and cover the floors. We have purchased an area rug which Max likes very much as a good resting place.

It stayed cool with clouds and occasionally mist in the air throughout the day, so it was a pleasant day in which to work. Happy travels.
