Started to look into some water damage in the kitchen of our 83 Pace Arrow. The more I looked, the more I found. I have some pics of the damage so far. Anyone interested in following a rebuild thread?

Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year to you all as well.

Critics have not silenced me.

It appears I might have slightly underestimated the effect of a little 18 pound human on the grandparents. Lol.

We have ended up having waaaayyyyy more interaction with her than I anticipated, and being nearly 70 years old ... well, after a day of interaction with her ... we both just want a break. Lol.

Couple that with a few items around the house that took over the "must do" category - you know, like not having water from the well.

It seems the better half like to have running water.

I haven't lost my intention to continue working, and I certainly plan on not waiting to the end of January to do it.

Things are starting to smooth out a bit, like getting the big lumps out of the mashed potatoes.

I have to get through this week and next with extra year end computer work, and we should be good to go.

Thanks for checking in. As Arnold said ... "I'll be back".

Did I happen to mention that I like my Pt Cruiser?

Well, I did, I know. As my mom used to tell my dad sometimes.... We've heard that story 50 million times... MOVE ON! Lol.

Anyhow, since 2x3's have come down from an all time high of about $6.49, to $2.98 each, I bought 10 of them.

I got my 2 layers of plywood glued and nailed in around the window, (red arrows), to level up the surface, so I could put insulation on it.

Then I glued the insulation on. I used smaller, separate pieces of insulation to minimize waste. It's also easier to deal with a small piece than it is with a single, large one.

I have been amazed how one little 18 pound human can interrupt Moho work for the grandparents, though. Lol.

I used to come here to check on the progress as it was interesting to me, at 5 years running I think fulltimin has lost interest and does not have a completion date in mind, sorry just my observation.


Lost interest? Or not....
