Work getting done

Been busy the last couple of days and at the weather has been hot and humid. UGH! But no rain. Guess I spoke too soon. Just as we were going to bed it POURED again. And has poured every night since.
We shopped and shopped for a couple of days. First day we drove up to outskirts of Indy to Greenwood – only about 40 miles. Had to get a small end type table and a chair for Bill. Ended up at Lazy Boy where we found a recliner that isn’t too big.
Then to Camping world. That is always a mistake – just find too many things you can use there. But it turned out okay as almost everything we wanted/needed was on sale. The table was ½ price! and will work great. The picture from the front of the box -
Also got a sewer hose (needed), a cutting board with rubber backing for top of stove (helpful- also on sale), light bulbs (special kind) and plate separators (Rubbermaid circles) which now we really don’t need as we decided to take plates out of Alfie. Back to Home Depot where we were able to return three boxes of the flooring that we didn’t need. On to JoAnn’s for tablecloth material – vinyl type. Then to Famous Dave’s for a great lunch.
Things are coming right along in Jennie. The floor is done – has all it metal stripping etc. Looks very nice. Chair is in – takes up more room then we thought but will be fine. Bedroom is done: shelves are in closet, cupboard above bed is done, wall is painted and bedspread etc. have arrived from Pennys catalogue. They are very bright and colorful.

He also put a shelf in each bedroom closet so we can put more stuff in it.
Even have a matching shower curtain. And he put in an accordian door between bath and bedroom.
I still have to make the latch to hold it back when we're traveling.
Cabinet in bathroom is finished and up.Bathroom is done: towel, toothbrush racks are hung.

Then he added mirrors to the outside of the bathroom door. Makes things look bigger.

Don't know if I mentioned it or not but the outside of the freezer door is a dry erase board - that will come in handy.

Bought small glass tile squares for the kitchen wall – floor to ceiling. Really looks good.
Aren't they pretty?
The shelving for front cupboards is installed and carpeted. The carpet really helps cut down on noise when traveling.
Bill has finished most of the WORK work, just a couple of minor things left to do and everytime he finishes one project he thinks of something else he wants to do. Now he is building a folding extension for the kitchen counter – so I’ll have more space to cook. Cook? After our first trip in it we may find a couple of things more to do, but we’ll see.
Now my work begins. Putting everything in it and away. Decided to take some stuff out of Alfie as opposed to buying a 2nd set of everything. Always hard to figure out where to put stuff. Will rearrange things more than once I’m sure. Also making slip covers for the arm rests of driver's and passangers seats and covers for the top of those seats. We realized everytime we went up front we put our hands on the tops of the seats - wouldn't be long before they were dirty.
In the mean time I’ve been learning a new computer program to put some of our pictures into a slide show so we can watch them on the TV. It’s actually a pretty easy program, just time consuming.
And that’s about it for now.
