Why thank you Mote! Funny how things change over time and what this project has become to me. My finishing desires, plans and goals are significantly different now than when I began, and as they say, "the end justifies the means". We still find it somewhat surprising when we enter Lil' Queeny and sit there at the dinette (sans cushions) just how comfortable it feels inside: cozy, warm, quiet (but of course it's pretty quiet in the garage to start with). And then to look at her from the exterior - so small, all within the bed of an eight foot pickup. A true tiny home.
A week or two ago while working on Lil' Queeny, I heard some impatient shuffling coming from the other side of the garage. It was Lil' Willy, sitting there all nicely dusted with Lil' Queeny's paint over-spray (that stuff got everywhere!). I knew what he wanted. He too had been feeling the approach of Springtime! As had we.
I set to work on getting him ready for the new season: full cleaning inside and out (okay so I still need to power wash the engine compartment), removing chains and snowplow, changing over the plow to the rear - with appropriate connections - to drag the drive. That little trick worked very well too!
I even got onto my new sewing machine, the one I showed in one of these threads in February or so that I went looking for and couldn't find. It's a 1954 Singer walking foot Industrial 111; same year as my Willys! I took Lil' Willy's torn white soft top and made a bikini top out of it. Practice for the upcoming camper upholstery. :/
Greenhouse work, yard, garden, drives, transplants, etc., what a bunch of work here lately. I miss winter already!
But even with a full slate of upcoming good weather projects, I want to keep inching forward on the camper. Time will tell how that pans out.
I think tomorrow I'll post a bit in "Fresh Water". I have a few photos of that waiting for an entry. Just wanted to give an update to you - please remain patient.
