-- you love the smell of Three in One Oil.

-- you love the smell of WD-40.

-- you can’t decide which one you like better.

-- your day job is behind a desk but your hands are rough, and black crud is always caught under your fingernails.

-- you’d rather be in your workshop than watching TV.

-- when something in your RV needs fixing, you are secretly glad because now you have another project to work on.

-- your stick house is looking a little neglected and out of date but your RV isn’t.

-- you have a torque wrench and you know how to use it.

-- you get excited when you go to the hardware store and discover that the folks at Gorilla have come out with yet another overpriced adhesive product.

-- the only thing better than an RV-related project is an RV-related project that uses scrap materials that you have squirreled away for years, "just in case."

OK, your turn!!

When your wife tells you... "Please, no working on the MH this trip, just relax."

To which my reply is... "But working on it IS relaxing." They just don't understand. LOL

Some great stuff here! I just figured out that TSB means Technical Service Bulletin -- it took me a while. And "modder" is a word I made up to describe myself -- it means "someone who compulsively modifies his or her RV."

Keep it going!

You re-wash the whole RV cause you "missed a spot".

If...
-You know you have that squirreled away scrap piece but have so many you can't find it
- You have more invested in tools than food, clothing, and shelter combined
-You are looking forward to buying a new tool
-You are unable to stop on a project, even if you've been on it all day and it's dark
-You have a lot of projects started and not many finished
-You completely redo a project because it just wasn't good enough

You actually like it when the DW complains about something because it gives you a chance to "make it better".
