Well, the hillbilly is back up, after recognizing the error of his ways. I'm glad to see he is getting more support from the people who read it regularly. I imagine he's pretty overwhelmed now. I know I would be. At last count, I saw 35 comments.



Anyhoo, we took the couch out of the escape pod yesterday. It's a lot more open now, and a heck of a lot lighter. We haven't done another tongue weight yet, but that thing was heavy. We didn't need the extra sleeping room either, so why not take it out? The more we take out the more we notice the mediocre craftsmanship. Randy was seriously disappointed, being a former carpenter and all. We've got some ideas for the new decor. We pretty much have to keep the aqua-green carpet, way too much trouble to take out and replace with anything. We lost some storage when we took out the dinette and couch. That's ok, because that way we won't pack it full of stuff (just added weight). We're planning on using the little door things that open to the outside for cat doors. We'll get a collapsible cat cage, and finagle a way for them to go outside and get fresh air w/o running off and getting lost or eatten by something. But that's not even really in the design phase yet. I'm going to try to sell what we pulled out. It's in really good shape, just heavy, and not our taste. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the windows as far as curtains. Seems like I'm trying to do a lot of stuff. I better get up from this computer and actually do something!

I think that if the thing was built the way a craftsman wanted it to be, you'd need a Peterbuilt to tow it with. Consider that a really well built 35 foot boat, sans engine(s), will weigh well over 10,000 lbs. Quality is heavy! And expensive......
