    Wearing a mask now we are opening?

    I went to the grocery store last night and shopped wearing my mask, granted it was quieter than rush hour shopping, but i didn't see another customer wearing a mask, i was actually shocked how quick people revert back, like they have immunity.  All the staff are still required to wear one and...

    Cork flooring

    We have cork flooring in our kitchen and it has held up very well and is very forgiving. We installed it about five years ago, no dogs now, but it was not an issue with their claws tearing up the cork when we had them. Plus, cork is warm, even in winter, not like a cold laminate floor or tile...

    Cancer Does Not Win Today

    My wife and i are relatively young, early to mid 50's and had been planning to quit work to travel down to the Southwest this winter, to explore our pursuits and interests and possibly work along the way at some point.  We have worked hard for many years and have saved a few hundred thousand...

    First attempt sewing a screen pillowcase for windows

    I used Saint-Gobain ADFORS 4-ft x 25-ft Gray Fiberglass Screen Mesh from the hardware store.  Easy to work with, the second window screen was even easier to sew.  I still need to buy a flat band strap for the bottom of it, but i like it so much. Itching to get on the road!

    First attempt sewing a screen pillowcase for windows

    Well i added the elastic around the bottom.  I had some trouble getting the window screen to fit over the mirror, so i wrangled with that a bit.  I think i will cut the elastic at the point near the mirror and add a velcro strip to tighten it better, and for easy on and off without having to...

    Thinking of heading west

    Do you know how long in the morning, in general, that it takes to warm up above freezing?  I wonder if the sun warm things up quick even to 50 if that is the high for the day or is it a slow climb to the daily high?

    First attempt sewing a screen pillowcase for windows

    We needed a solution to have some fresh air coming in from the driver and passenger side door windows.   My first attempt to make a slip-over pillowcase window screen did not turn out to shabby imo.  Yeah, i made a lot of mistakes, but i think it might just work in keeping the bugs outside and...

    I installed a swivel seat!

    Hi Joe, Sorry for the delay in answering. I have a 2015 class c ford e350 motorhome. I didn't buy any seats, i just used what came with the vehicle, i did buy a new base that fit perfectly. Best of luck to you and great picture of your home!

    I installed a swivel seat!

    Here are a few pics of the base and the chair turned to the living area, tight but manageable.  Cut two holes in the base for the seat wiring, one from bottom of base and one on the side to insert wiring so it wouldn't get damaged when swiveled.  I thought it was going to be much harder cutting...

    I installed a swivel seat!

    I'm happy to report that the swivel seat base that i ordered arrived today, so, after work this evening, i was able to put it in myself and guess what? It actually works!  Woohooo!  We have a small class c so with the passenger seat now having the ability to face the living area, it opens up the...
