Hello there! Once again I have been slacking in my blogging duties and see that it has been almost 4 weeks since my last post. Unfortunately, I am sad to report that I haven’t been hanging out at the beach and relaxing in sunny, warm N.C. Instead I was doing some temp work, sending my son off to college, and purchasing new license plates for our van since someone decided to STEAL ours. I so can’t wait to leave here!

Besides those exciting events things have been very quiet in the RV which makes it difficult to write about.

We did get the bed frame put in place along with the bedside shelves. It is a pretty tight fit now, but it works. Check it out!

The bathroom is 99% complete. James purchased a towel rod to hang the shower curtain, but unfortunately it was too short, so we ended up hanging it on the wall. It looks nice though. Today we picked up another shower curtain rod (aka a towel rod) that was a perfect fit. We also purchased a toilet paper roll holder and both have been installed.

Here are the most recent pictures of our bathroom.

I am not too thrilled with the placement of the tp roll holder, but since space is limited so too are our options.

The most exciting part of today had to be the cutting of the granite tile for the bathroom faucet! Ok, so maybe James doesn’t agree that it was so exciting seeing as he burnt up the drill. As you may recall from the last time he tried to drill through the granite he had to use 2 drill bits AND the drill got hot and start smoking. This time he wasn’t so lucky. He got ¾ of the way through and then he had FIRE. So, now he has to purchase a cheapo drill to finish the job.

Anyhow, this is what our bathroom faucet looks like. Isn't it awesome? James picked it out.

We also purchased a kitchen faucet today on ebay and should have that by early next week. Yay! I think this weekend we going to purchase the tiles for the kitchen and get that job over and done with. Then we will be able to hang up the kitchen vent and install the faucet which will mean that area will be complete as well.

I know these are things that don’t help us get MOVING but they are things we can get DONE until we can get the heck out of here.

Speaking of moving. James was checking out the RV engine, batteries and the power steering pump. Upon closer inspection he noticed the pump was out of fluid, so maybe we won’t need to replace it, but rather fill it up with fluid. Keep your fingers crossed!

We have decided that we can get away with a minimum of TWO brand new tires, TWO new batteries, one freshwater hose, one 50 amp plug and lots of cash for gas in order to get out of here soon.

I am heading to AZ in early November to welcome my second grandbaby (and first grandson) into the world. I told James that I am NOT coming back to OH to live ever again. Kara and her family will be coming to OH around Thanksgiving to visit Jon’s family, so I told James that he could meet up with the kids and they could all caravan home to NC. I even shared my thoughts with Kara and I think we have him convinced that would be the BEST time to move. We are working really diligently to make our dream a reality. After spending over a year now on this project we are ready to roll, we just got to get those few little things done. So close but so far away. Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!

These are the things we still need to purchase/complete to get this show on the road:

• 2 tires
• 2 batteries
• fresh water hose
• 50 amp cord
• kitchen tiles
• recliners
• money for gas
  

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the update. Hopefully next time I’m blogging it will be about our upcoming move. As always, feel free to stop by to take a tour of the RV. Don't wait too long because we are getting close. Have a wonderful day!
