It seems Tybee has decided if Tyki is going to stick around then she might as well make use of him. He apparently makes a great pillow.

We got another dusting of snow and the dogs love it!

Jerud and I borrowed an abandoned kid's sled from the neighborhood park and took turns going down a short hill with the dogs chasing us.

On my day off, I headed to Scounger's Paradise and picked up luan for the RV. I was surprised by Scounger's Paradise. It's a really interesting place and I had no idea it existed. The name says it all - you can find all kinds of things here, you just have to look.

A non-describtive building that doesn't prepare you for what's inside.

You walk in and it's piles and piles of things. Don't expect a greeter when you come through the door. If you need help, wander around until you come across someone.

Endless rows of all kinds of stuff.

Stacks of luan!

More random items - potential teasures (or junk).

It's hard being cooped up inside the storage unit after work, especially when it's beautiful outside and all we want to do is ride. One morning before we headed to the storage unit we got out and did a quick out and back on Squirrel Gap Trail. Tyki came along and had a blast. I think we might have even worn him out a tad bit (he started dozing on the car ride home).

We're finally seeing positive changes to the trailer instead of "negative" changes from constantly tearing it apart! We finished the chassis work left over from the other week.

A view of the front of the trailer (bedroom) with the new sill plates installed on the chassis.

We had to clean up the RV frame so we could work on the driver side of the chassis. All the blue marked spots on the frame has to be removed.

All cleaned up.

Before installing the sill plate, we need to add new underbelly sheet to the exiting sheet on the driver side of the RV.

Using adhesive spray, we attached the new underbelly wrap to the old one.

It sprays out like silly string and is extremely sticky.

New and old underbelly sheet glued together.

We clamped an extra wood piece under the front sill plate so we could place the side sill plate on it to line up the screw holes.

We used the nail polish and toilet paper technique again to get a good match.

Drilling holes.

The screws that will hold up the sill plate against the chassis.

Because the sill plates are going to be up against metal, we wrapped all of them to protect them from potential rust and rot. The underbelly wrap is stapled to the sill plates.

Used a screw bit to poke holes in the underbelly sheet.

With the sill plates installed on the chassis, we can actually start building the bedroom - something we've been waiting to do for a long time!

Jerud decided since we have to tear the bedroom apart, we might as well extend the bedroom by 6 inches. This way his feet don't have to hang out off the bed. We set up the bed so we could measure where the extra 6 feet goes out to.
