Out With the Old, In With the Much, Much Better

So again, we're kind of dragging ass on the camper.  It's freaking cold though.  Another excuse I get to use right now is that we are pretty sure some punk bastard stole our Amazon box on Halloween.  This box had our coax cable which I need to run through the ceiling before we put plywood back on.  We got tricked!

GAH!

So, as far as what HAS arrived, I thought I'd post some pictures before it goes in!

Old tub...

New tub!

In the next picture, you'll see most of the large items we pulled from the camper and are replacing

Cool story with the new fridge.  We went to Home Depot to buy a cheap-ish mini-fridge with freezer for $230.  It's stainless steel but is darker than the brushed look.  We really didn't care since the brushed look was $260.

Lucky for us, they grabbed the wrong one!

You can see the old water pump in the previous picture, and here is our new one

We decided to replace ALL the lights in the camper, as well as ALL the water fixtures.

I'm pretty stoked about the kitchen faucet.  It's hard to find a pull out kitchen faucet for a camper!

We finally got our TV mount.  This had to be very specific because of the location we are putting it.  It has to be seen from the main part of the camper, but be able to swivel to the bed to watch movies, snuggled up on a rainy day

BUT, we don't have the TV yet :(


Besides getting 1-2 boxes a day (and we still have half a dozen packages on the way), we've been making slow progress with the renovation.  This is because we are mainly working on small things while the walls are down.

Took out the air conditioner.  We wont need that for quite some time.  Quick, cheap red-neck fix is plexiglass!

Britt has been making great progress with the worst water damaged area.  Our bedroom!

I finally got off my ass and finished out the outside fixtures to our water system.  All I needed to do was install the drain.

We love craigslist.  We found the perfect slab of counter top to cut up and use in the 4 places we need counter top.  We priced out the kitchen one brand new at Home Depot...$80.  That doesn't include the bathroom, cat stand and kitchen extension.

This old kitchen isldand top cost us $45 and SHOULD be big enough to cover all we need it to!

Britt and I searched extensively for what we wanted for the flooring.  We finally found it, and it was cheap as crap! 88cents a sqft!

We also wondered what to do with the kitchen backsplash.  Do we spend $500 like everyone else, or try something odd and unique?  You guessed it.

This pic shows our flooring (left) and our backsplash (right)

Yea.  We're putting up vinyl floor tile as our backsplash.

Guess we'll see how that turns out!
