Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Again last night I had a heck of a time staying asleep which
meant that Kathy had a disturbed night because I wasn’t always lying next to
her. Of course it was slightly after 8:00 by the time we woke up to have our
breakfast. Since we are retired that shouldn’t be much of a problem unless you
have an appointment or plans.
Our plans were to get to the trailer early to avoid the high
heat of the day. After making a few phone calls it was nearly 10:00 by the time
we arrived at the storage yard. Kathy was shocked more at the sight of her
kitchen because it was in a greater state of a mess than the last time she had
seen it. She wanted to be able to keep me company and be of help to me if I needed.
After opening the slides and windows I lowered the awning
and set a chair for Kathy to do some reading. My task was to create a framing
to support the drawer glides for the new drawer. Bit by bit it took shape but
the heat started taking its toll on the power inverter long before it did me.
Unfortunately that changed my disposition to one of frustration.
Kathy recognized the futility and suggested stopping for
lunch since it was already 12:30. Using a coupon we went to the nearby A&W
where not only did the food but the cool Air Conditioned building helped to
reinvigorate us.
The stain used should have matched the original wood trim. |
Back at the trailer I struggled without the use of the drill
but had everything assemble and partially cleaned up for us to be heading home
by 3:00. Unfortunately the high Humidex made it feel closer to the century mark
and had already taken its toll on the both of us. It wasn’t long before we both
needed to sit in front of the Air Conditioner to cool down and have a Snap.
That Snap turned into an hour of sleep for the both of us.
It was after 6:00 before we sat down to a bowl of soup for
supper. Having had supper for lunch we now had lunch for supper. Now I only
have to finish putting away the rest of the tools and the trailer is once again
road worthy.
Kathy and I are not happy with the color of the stain
because the paint chip showed it much closer in color to the original wood
finish. Not sure what we will do about if anything at this time. Thanks for
following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Two missionaries get apprehended by a tribe of
cannibals who put them in a large pot of water, build a fire under it and leave
them there. A few minutes later, one of the missionaries starts to laugh
uncontrollably. The other missionary can't believe it. He says, "What's
wrong with you? We're being boiled alive! They're going to eat us! What could possibly
be funny at a time like this?" The other missionary says, "I just
peed in the soup."
There is a way to pull some of the stain color back out. You either rub the wood down with mineral spirits or denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to amaze me with the additions you are able to make to the RV! Good job!
ReplyDeleteExcellent job! I must have been a difficult job if you didn't have a drill. Paul would have gone nuts.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the color of the stain. Probably a different type of wood?
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
