Well, it’s been an eventful summer- unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder a few weeks ago, which put my renovation plans on hold. I am up and at it again, though, and with just 1 week to go before I head to Long Key (for a week!) I did some work today.
While I still have to have some ceiling repairs done from the water damage I sustained over the winter, I used my old pal duct tape to put a temporary fix on it until I can get it looked at. I joined the Good Sam club through Camping World so I plan to drop it off there soon and have it gone over good.
So I’m on a smaller project scale for now and today accomplished a few things. I bought some fabric to have curtains custom made, but haven’t gotten around to having someone do it or sewing them myself. I knew I needed some kind of coverage for the windows because you can see into them at night, and that’s no good- I can’t believe what I found at Family Dollar- $4 per panel, they are a thick paper and you can cut them to whatever size you need! Unbelievable and they stick on. Simple and took 1 minute to hang up. When you are done you just fold them up and clip them until next time.
Perfect! Then I got the extra bed set- We haven’t used it yet but my friend Maureen is coming for some of this trip so I wanted to make sure I had the extra bed all set. Turns out that with the cushions in place it’s a Twin XL, so I went out and got a Twin XL egg crate mattress topper for it as well as sheets. It’s ready to sleep now and Foster approved!
I also added an inexpensive rug runner inside to brighten it up a bit and make it a little more homey while walking around, check it out:
That’s it for today, it was TOO hot to do much more. Oh, and on a personal note, I ordered a “Go Girl” to bring along. I’m thinking for the once in a while I have to pee and am already in bed, this is the ideal solution:
No messy porta-potty to deal with or wandering to the bathroom in the middle of the night, just the unit and a Gatorade bottle to throw out in the AM. Will report back!
More pics as things get further completed.
