I just left my husband after 20 years, so I know how hard/confusing/exciting change is! Some decisions can wait and it is strange how answers and solutions happen when you need it, effortlessly at times. Have fun!

I’m seriously considering having two exhaust fans installed in the roof, reversible, so one can blow air n and one out. Still will probably too hot in southern Nevada, but at least not fatal.

Is this during cold weather only? My van makes some noise first time I start up on cold mornings.

If you qualify for a handicapped parking placard, get one, they are free and allow you to park close enough to pick up free WiFi! Or shady spots when needed. If you have a van with side doors, park next to a curb, it makes it easier to get in and out, for you and doggies. Put an emphasis on a...

There is an RV park in Boulder City NV that my In Laws lived n with their 5th wheel. They liked it but I don’t know what the costs are etc. This was about 16 years ago! It’s walking distance from some stores, fast food, small local restaurants and it’s fairly warm and very little rain. Might be...

Bed is finished! Gotta go somewhere tomorrow and try it out. Yay!

Update on platform, legs and circumference frame is done. Now he is putting 2x4s across from side to side as support. It looks really sturdy, using screws and thick wood. Brackets here and there for something. He got some plank things called MDS I think, they are already painted white and will...

Way cheaper than divorce and instead of reading legal documents and meeting with attorneys we will be reading maps and meeting new people. Hubs is almost done with the frame and legs, tomorrow he’s going to lay the plywood. This is going to give me so much space. I think the platform will be 13”...

Thanks Almost There. Hubs says he is going to start on the bed tomorrow! Yay. It is so hard getting up off the mattress on the floor of the van! I’ll get comfy in the back and then, darn, left my phone up front...you know how it goes. Once the bed is in I’ll have room for a little potty that I...

Still waiting for Hubs to build my bed platform, but he has it planned out in his head. It will cost about $100. My doggie got her spay but the stitches got a little infected. I guess when they say leave the cone on her all the time, they mean it. You know, the cone collar so she won’t lick her...

I have the 2500 V8. My opinion is it is better to have the power in case you need it. Bigger is better.

I found an Office Depot store with parking right in front of their entrance and got an excellent WiFi signal. I was able to back up my iPad to the cloud in about 10 minutes. An iOS update would probably take 20 minutes? Anyway, just FYI for those with iPads and haven’t been able to download the...

I know my husband can do it, he’s a carpenter, has all the tools. Two little notches are nothing to him. I really wanted to do this myself, make it MINE. But I may have to ask him for help with this. I really wish I had taken shop classes instead of home ec, but in the 1960s, it wasn’t allowed...

Well, hubby is getting worse, so I might have to leave for a few days at a time. I have a question. If I take a drawing with measurements to Home Depot, will they cut the plywood for me? It would be to fit sideways over the wheel wells for my bed. The cut outs are to make it fit around the ribs...

I call it taking a vacation! Had a nice one yesterday, drove around, parked, hung out in back on the bed and played with my iPad. Visited a dog rescue adoption event and saw some I liked, but hubs says two dogs are enough, but I stopped in anyway. When I get home from my vacations he doesn't ask...
