Its starting to look like something

Well folks its really starting to look more like a kitchen now, put on the new countertop, I made out of linolium trimmed with metal edgeing and ran the linolium up under the cabinets as a back splash, there is another window over the sink, I just haven't cut it out yet, the new countertop fits the year 1955 more I think. A little more painting and trim work and the kitchen is a done deal, HOORAY
                    Here's the after and before, What'ya think??

Happy Sunday all


Well I got the bathroom pretty much done, I painted the bathroom cabinet orange and thought I took a photo of it but I guess I didn't, I started painting the kitchen cabinets today, added moss green to the orange and yellow color combo I've been using, hope you all like it, I haven't finished painting the kitchen yet but I think it will all come together when I'm done, I hope!!, Don't judge it till then,OK? Sorry to have to rub it in, but the weather has been just perfect here, cool nights and warm days, not like what you all are going through, with the cold and snow, must go out later and work on my tan somemore, sorry again, did I just say that.Will try and post a photo later, can't upload anything now, slow internet

Walk in the desert


                        Hi everyone, Decided I could use some exercise, so me and one of the others living in the park went for a 2 mile walk on the desert in back of the park, I took a picture facing the park from way in the back of the park, this will give you some idea how desolate it is here, the other photo is of this mornings sunrise, I love it here, its so peaceful and really quiet. Seen one coyote and a few deer while we were back there.
                         I gave the bathroom its first coat of paint today, when it drys I'll give it a final coat and then start putting up the new mirror and floor covering, next is to build a new cabinet for the sink and that should do it for that room.

For Tom, Patty and Cindy






  This post is for you guy's, of coarse all of you other folks can look too, my good friend Tom called from New Jersey and said what's going on, you haven't posted anything in a long while and we are sitting here on pins and needles waiting for some news on how the trailer is coming along. Sorry everyone but I've been busy at my new job, yes that's rite JOB, Roger the owner of Twin Buttes RV park asked me if I'd be interested in giving him a hand doing the maintenance around the park, free lot rent and utility's, plus $125 a month cash and even a golf cart to go around the park in, well of coarse I said YES. This is heaven sent as it all boils down to a savings of about $350 a month to me, DOUBLE WHOOPEE. I have been doing work on my trailer tho, I usually spend a few hours a day on it, I did make a wood stove out of a 15 gallon barrel and it came out well, it heats the whole trailer on just a few sticks of wood a day, so its a big savings on the old heat bill.  We have plenty of mesquite trees here and its a great wood for stoves, very hard and it burns clean and smells great, if you've never smelled mesquite burning you've missed something.
                    I put down new under lament to cover the old floors to make a good base for carpet in the.bedroom and linoleum in the bathroom and kitchen, the lining room will get hard wood floors so I don't have to put it down there. I'm refacing the kitchen cabinets and putting in a new counter top, old fashion tho, with linoleum as a new top surface, trust me your gonna like it when its done, I turned the cloths closet across from the kitchen sink into a new counter and cabinets, why would you need two big clothes closets, especially one them being in the kitchen?? Originally the gas stove was at the end of the counter by the hall way leading to the bathroom and bedroom, I moved the stove and placed it next to the fridge and am making a counter where the stove was, much better I think. I have the bedroom all finished but for the carpeting, which hopefully I'm going to buy this weekend, then I can set my bed up and that room will be done except for some finishing touches like curtains, some pictures, and more furniture, not too much tho.
                    Well that's it for now, bye and love to you all, Wayne
