Out with the old, in with the new!

I was really hoping my old butter yellow, gas/electric refrigerator would fire right up once it had electricity to it. Of course not! So, out she goes. I'm not really sure how we got it out the door cuz it measured 1/8th inch bigger than the door opening. But hubby worked his magic and ta-da. It is out. So we cleaned 50 years of who knows what from the fridge space and now we have to build a little floor for the new little stainless steel fridge. Little by little she comes together!

Here's my little are piece I created for My Sanctuary. I found these really great table cards a few weeks ago when I was out to lunch. The pictures were so beautiful and the colors were just right I took a few hoping to find a way to use them in the trailer. Last week Audrey, my daughter, found these little frames for $2 a piece. Perfect fit. So now I will attach a ribbon to the back and have a sweet little art piece for $6.

CEILING CONUNDRUM

So we started the ceiling panel replacement. First the cabinet had to come off to get the panel off. Screws came out and there that dang cabinet still hung! Really is nothing simple? It's glued to the dang wall. So once again, we tried to fix something but found we had to tear something else up to do so. Argh!!! So the damaged panel is staying up, getting cleaned and tung oiled and awaiting something creative to come to mind to cover those holes that the last owner thought was so important to poke into the ceiling. :{

ANY CREATIVE IDEAS?

Work is slowing

Well there is still much work to do. However, most of it requires the experts. The electrical is all finished. Power on!! The plumbing is almost complete. Should see the end of that by the weekend...I hope. Still cabinet work to complete. I'm finishing the last of the sanding and oiling, putting on the newly refinished hardware and hanging them back up. Still 100+ degrees so working mostly in the early morning. Darn last bits of stubborn paint is resistant to the paint stripper. Ray says we gotta use the stuff they use on the big commercial jets. Where in the heck to you get that stuff? The airplane store??? Really so done with the pain stripping thing. I want to wash her one final time to get the residue off and than polish her til she shines. We'll probably get complaints from the neighbors due to the glow from the driveway.
