I've retraced my steps more than once. But if you add all the time up over your life it probably doesn't amount to much. ;) ;)

I got some lighter stain and finally got it all done.  I feel like I had a Mr. Miyagi paint the fence workout.  I was closing up the camper for the night and realized I forgot to stain the door.  I had to get a flashlight to finish that up.  The walls don't really match the floor but I'm not to worried about it.  Once I get the trim done and everything moved back in I don't think it will look to bad.  I used the stain/polyurethane combo and there isn't to many options of that available.  I couldn't find a shade that looked good with the floor.

Today I worked on the trim work.  I used some leftover barn siding scraps.  I trimmed around the windows and door.




 I also ran a strip of barn siding around the floor.  It doesn't look like I got much done but I worked on it all day.  It felt like I was in slow motion today.  I couldn't clear the cobwebs out of my head it seemed like.  I made a list of stuff to finish the trim work.  I'll get some supplies and finish  up the ceiling and around the bed platform on Thursday.

I like the contrast between the wall and floor. The barn siding breaks it up nicely!

Elm Hall is within a day or two of my anniversary every year.  That might be pushing the limits with the wifey.

I leave for mojam this year the day after our anniversary. So that means I'm packing up on my anniversary and the wife is probably going to help me.  :o

Good luck with that Patrick.


I did some more trim work today around the bed platform.  I still need to tack down the canvas material and figure out if I'm cutting the mattress down to fit. I was hoping to finish all the trim today but I ended up helping my dad with his project.  I have 2 more boards to put on the ceiling and then put the rope along the corners.

 


I also rebuilt the shelves in the front.  I'm not 100% happy with them but I guess they will work.




I didn't like how the plastic outlet covers looked so I replaced them with wooden covers that I stained.  This is one of the wall panels that I had to replace.  I had to piece it together because I was out of full sheets.  I wasn't very happy with that but I didn't want to drive an hour to home depot for one board.

Hope you and The Wife get opportunity this summer to take rig on its maiden voyage.
