I've been sick for a few weeks, it's been kind of a long winter, and I've been dreaming of spring. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is the closest way to have a little spring in my life! It's very easy and inexpensive to make.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I've even made a video tutorial to demonstrate how to make it! It's my first posted video tutorial ever. Take a look and let me know if you were inspired to make something similar!<br />

I showed all the earliest stages of this renovation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here we have more of the finished product.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continuing on with the saga...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After having the water heater leak <span id="goog_1796772846"></span><span id="goog_1796772847"></span>water all over the place </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the subsequent repairs that had to be done, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seeing water come out of the sink and shampoo bowl sprayer </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was so amazingly thrilling and encouraging! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hearing the heater click on and feeling </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
warm water flowing was a milestone for us. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It felt as if we would soon be done! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yet, still more to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next came the flooring...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bathroom floor covering was a remnant that I found at Menard's which closely resembled the marbled pattern of the sink. I wanted to keep that theme going in the bathroom and was glad to have found a nice piece of flooring for it. I'm not a flooring installer, but I wanted that floor covered so badly and was so eager to get the project done, that I decided to try out an idea I had. I used newspapers and encircled the outer perimeter of the room, taping them together as I went, until I had gotten all the way back to the starting place, and then filled in the center. I then had this big pattern piece which I laid on the wrong side of the floor covering and traced with a pen. I cut it out and laid it down, trimming with a carpet knife as I went. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used double-sided flooring tape and then added a trimming</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the metal tiling stuff that we used on the sink and station area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Real flooring installers would cringe in horror, but oh, well... It's already done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm glad for the experience, but it was really not my favorite aspect of the renovation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My knees were shot and I was very glad it was such a small room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Time to think about the flooring in the rest of the place!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the photo editing feature of my phone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sketched in the flooring ideas I had for the main room of the salon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried a few looks and finally decided on the first photo. </div>

I really liked this diamond effect below, but was not 100% sure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I figured it might add to the cost because</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it would take longer for the flooring company </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to make them going at that perpendicular angle.</div>

These oversized tiles really open up the room, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just as big as those squares - I was not sure if they exist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also thought they might be more awkward </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all the previous stuff we did, it was time to hire a pro.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a quote from Jerry's Flooring, a local flooring company, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The price was going to be almost $1,000.00 to put the commercial-grade </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vintage- looking tiling down that I had envisioned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cost would be worth it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were getting kind of tired of the researching, mistake-making, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and strenuous learning process of DIY'ing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were glad when we heard about their way of doing things, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which was to put down a 1/4th inch underlayment, also.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(we have never had floor tiling installed so we didn't know) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a great thing for support and to help level the floor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We happily turned the project over to them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They did a great job and it is beautiful!</div>

One of the pleasures of having my little salon so close<br />
is having a convenient and constant place<br />
to practice the ideas for hairstyles I have.<br />
I love to spend hours styling the mannequins in my collection.<br />
My mannequin collection is growing<br />
because I like having all textures<br />
and shades of hair to create looks with.<br />
I needed a place to store them<br />
and thought if they were on the walls,<br />
they would be a cool part of the decor.<br />
I designed these little pegged shelves<br />
to stage them on the wall, and Mark crafted them<br />
for me in his man cave/tool shop.<br />
I painted them sterling silver to match the walls.</div>

With a full range of hairstyling tools and complete makeup kit, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need lots of places to put stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had to downsize my studio supplies drastically</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to fit everything in this little place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also keep a few things in storage in our house for overflow. </div>

I chose the name "Rollers" because it reminds me of a few things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
having to do with my facility and my lifelong mental images of the hair business.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. My Mom in her hair rollers while </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was growing up in the early 60's and 70's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Often, she had rollers in her hair and a chiffon scarf on top of them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with her cateye glasses, shirtwaist & skirt, and her red lipstick on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. This baby has wheels & they roll!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. The Ubiquitous Hair Rollers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
responsible for those beautiful, epic, period hair do's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love creating things with raffia! Here is the first few steps in making a little toy elf hut. It is made entirely of raffia, and is made by sewing the strips of raffia into a shape. The shape is started in the center on the bottom and gradually built up. </div>

After the height of the bottom of the doorway is determined, the sides of the door opening are built up by going back and forth, while at the end of each round, a bit is added to form the curve, until the point of the door opening is built. Then the top of the door is closed and the circular sewing is resumed. The raffia strips are joined by laying the same thickness of strips on top of the previous ones at a point before the end is reached. The top of the main part of the house is inset a bit to serve as a notch to hold the rooftop. A little door is fashioned by starting to build strips of raffia from the bottom of the door shape, adding layers in a back and forth fashion, decreasing gradually to form a rounded top. The door is sewn on loosely enough to swing open, but tight enough to be a good fit. There is a little tab of raffia sewn in the inside of the door to make a latch. I will update this after the roof is built!</div>

Ever since I got my cosmetology license in 1984, I have always wanted to own and operate my own salon- a legal and licensed facility to work at so that I can go on location for bridal, commercial, photography, and film work, etc. I also wanted a convenient place at or near my home while being within Kansas State Cosmetology regulations. So, I had to find a way to do it all. We didn't want to change our house by adding or renovating a room. A mobile salon at my house was the answer! We looked for almost a year for the right RV and found a 1976 24 ft. bumper pull Road Ranger for 1,500.00 on Craigslist. It was in pretty good condition, and the size and floor plan was perfect. These photos are roughly in progression, and I will update as soon as we get it finally done. After looking over the state board requirements for mobile facilities, I did all of the research for the necessary items and found them on Amazon, Ebay, and our locally-owned hardware and lumber stores, such as Griffith Lumber, Ace Hardware, Menards, and Home Depot. This is the first post of the renovation. I'll make more posts as we finish it up, since we work on it on the weekends when my husband is home. We have been paying as we go, as well, so I won't start out in debt. </div>

We thought about the people who built the camper back in 1976, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the bicentennial they would have been celebrating as this camper was being made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when people were using this as a camper, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with all their 70's and 80's summer clothes and striped knee socks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If we saw any handwriting behind the wall boards </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we would start talking about how people have worked so hard to build all these things</div>

Those air vent openings in the walls left by removing the old appliances </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were covered by riveting sheet metal over the holes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and sealing with silicone, then we filled in with insulation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Putting in the ceiling panels was SO hard. I'm really short and it was really hard holding it up long enough for it to get attached to the ceiling boards. I got so frustrated! We really needed one more person to help us hold it up but with our impatience, we forged ahead. Looking back. I realize I could have used a ladder, but honestly we didn't even sometimes have the mental wherewithal to see those obvious things because we were so obsessed with getting it done.</div>

Just in case you were ever curious, a 100 gallon water tank is almost 8 feet long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When full, it'd be really heavy, so we had to reinforce the front end of the camper box </div>

and get extra jacks to hold up the front when using it.</div>

We spent a few days figuring out a good place for the water tank.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stayed awake at night thinking out loud as we projected </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
our estimates of the stresses that a heavy water tank would cause </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the frame and possible reinforcements to the structure that we could put in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We sometimes found building materials that we used as our version</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of a support, even though they might not have been designed for the purpose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea of putting a tank in a space with these small dimensions was a challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were determined to follow the law to the letter,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because, at times, we wondered </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if it was even possible to do so. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Therefore, it became a beast that we had to slay. </div>

Thank you for all the hard work, Mark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You gave up so many weekends that you could have been</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doing things that you wanted to do, and I'm really, really grateful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This wouldn't have been possible w/o you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can do anything you set your mind to.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We really felt a helpful presence of God as we forged ahead and figured it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes we were at a total loss for solutions to problems.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes we just had to go to sleep without a solution, but when we woke up,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an idea would have somehow presented itself to us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was so cool when that happened!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We tried to project potential difficulties from my designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used graph paper to make square foot room plans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of my designs were practical & were pretty good, but lots of them were discarded.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to get accustomed to my ideas being rejected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was tempted to defend them simply because they were mine, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even if they were filled with potential failures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got over that very fast, and got to where I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would almost expect them to be thrown out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But even that was kind of fun, because it made me want to try even harder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were both learning our own limitations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We remarked that a good set of reading & comprehension skills can take you far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also had help from our higher power.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things that were beyond our knowledge were revealed to us in many unplanned ways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes by meeting random strangers in the wrong department in hardware stores. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...like, how did we happen to run into a friendly plumbing expert while looking at flooring?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We met so many strangers who happened to have a certain expertise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we needed right at that moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I told Mark that our dumbfounded expressions gave us away.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We often said at the same time now "THAT had to be a miracle."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So thank you to you strangers who told us things about flooring, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about electricity, plumbing, countertops, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as we were either minding our business in hardware stores,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or discussing things openly and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you would overhear us and help us out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{not forgetting to mention all You DIY Book Authors, You Bloggers and all You Youtubers}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You freely shared your knowledge and it helped us so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You don't know what a blessing you are to us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have chosen to think of it all as a divine blessing,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this choice is part of our treasure of memories.</div>

I used strips of newspapers to hold in the tiny pieces of insulation </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we pieced together and used to keep from throwing away so much stuff.</div>

My goal was to reuse any stuff we could and not waste any money, if possible.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A project like this that I am so passionate about brought out lots of emotions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cried in frustration as we came upon the end of our wits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cried happy tears when we reached a long awaited goal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I laughed out loud to myself if I heard of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
something which randomly solved a problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I grumbled in frustration when I realized that my physical stature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and weaknesses sometimes prevented me from doing stuff I wanted to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cried in relief and joy when I realized that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my dream might be coming true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate to cry but I found myself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doing it a lot throughout this whole thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an emotional rollercoaster as we experienced </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
many triumphs and delays, successes and setbacks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cried sad tears when I thought about how</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wished my dad and my grandma could see this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were both really creative and supportive</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of me and would have loved seeing this project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved showing my mother photos of the progression </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and loved having her come out to see what we had done so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is also very supportive and very excited for us.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also shed a few tears when I realized how much my husband loves me </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as he showed through actions and sacrifice of his time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He always eventually said when we would disagree, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Well, this is your project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are the foreman. I'll do whatever you think."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got mad at each other sometimes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because of disagreements and misunderstandings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But we also had a lot of laughs! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made up entirely new vocabulary words</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for some of the things that we invented or created.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had to be nice in spite of deeply held creative differences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end, the whole experience brought out our best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many times we figured out what to do, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
JUST before making a very expensive mistake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes we would find the answer to a dilemma </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the way to the hardware store, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with an idea just popping into our heads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We often made firm decisions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we had FINALLY agreed upon after much disagreement, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had to change them at the last second</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before actually implementing them,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because of a sudden realization </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that if we went ahead and did it, we would screw something else up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we forgot to account for previously.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We learned to take those abrupt changes in stride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We bought some supplies for those previous ideas and had to discard them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided "it's ok, we'll use them someday, in some other way."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The creative process was exhausting, yet exhilarating!</div>

We got it on 27 Sept. 2015 and it was January 2016 in these photos, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we were almost done repairing the floor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realized that I expected it to be done by that time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My main goal in deciding the location of the water tank was to maximize floor space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted as much open floor space as possible, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the tank had to be raised up, pushed back, and on its side, on the far end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a terrible time explaining my concepts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew most of them out while I explained them, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sometimes drawing dozens of sketches to make my crazy ideas make sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My frustration level increased as I tried to explain 3-D concepts </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with my terrible perspective drawing, but in the end,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew up ideas and Mark made them happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mark is a very linear in his thinking and I am very abstract.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So far, we have spent almost 20 thousand dollars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything had to have so many little extra parts and supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These projects are always a lot more than we can ever imagine, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and paying as you go can take more time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Doing it debt-free is honestly the best way to go</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because then you can start your business without an overhanging expense.</div>

Mark built the cabinets I designed. We spent many hours going over drawings, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sketching out ideas, and troubleshooting our own ideas before we put them in motion, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and learning how to communicate more efficiently, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which isn't as easy as we thought all these years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a creative process like this, you can have completely different ideas </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that are mind-bogglingly frustrating to explain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes tempers flared and we had to step away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and humbly apologize and then get back to work. </div>

Because of a design flaw in the water heater, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the pipes leaked after the first test, and it was very upsetting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mark said it would be ok,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and he went to work to fix the bad connections.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He had to dismantle that nice new countertop shown above</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and uncover the water heater, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
remove the outer cover of the water heater, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and replace a plastic plug. and that fixed the leak.</div>

It was very discouraging for us to see this on the floor,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I battled with my frustration and fears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we realized that this delay helped us </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
figure out a better way to mount the power converter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a blessing in disguise! </div>

This tarp keeps out the rain until we can fix the roof leaks. One thing we did learn is that when you buy an RV that is either new or old, it will always have leaks, so don't let anyone fool you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Expect them, plan for them, don't even ask if there are leaks.</div>
