Getting trim for summer.

We used 1/4 round as the base trim. I cut the miters with a razor saw.

I started in the back bedroom, and worked forward. I skipped under the bunks, as it isn't easily visible.

The last piece was under the dining table.

Once the base trim was in, I started installing the corner trim.

The oak really breaks up the white walls.

I worked my way from the front to the back.

We came up a little short on the corner moulding, so I had to cheat using what I had.

I used a piece of flat trim leftover from the bedroom wall. It didn't even require cutting.

The trim sure does make a difference!

We ended up needing to splice 2 pieces together to have enough quarter round, so I hid the splice behind the refrigerator. 

The kitchen cabinet had an ugly black toe kick and Wifey didn't like it, so it had to go.

We found matching 4" trim board and covered it up. 

I found a piece of oak moulding in the discount pile at Menard's, and thought it would be perfect to cover the gap between the cabinet and the wall. I also added the quarter round to the toe kick.

The door was hollow where the cut was to be made, so I cut the door long, and glued a strip of redwood into each end before cutting to final length.

It fit in the opening perfectly, which was a total surprise.

The hardware was installed once I made the holes with my jigsaw and router.

The matching hardware installed in the jamb.

I trimmed out the opening and added the stops to the jamb. The arch in the door panel is complimented by the arched roof.

Little things.

Once we got back into working on the bus, we started by installing all the little things we collected during the winter.

A smoke detector is a must.

Full length mirror was hung in the ladies room.

We hung a broom in the potty, along with the t.p. holder.

We secured another Fire extinguisher in the kitchen cabinet.

A couple of coat hooks were added in the bedroom. 

The "Limited Edition" badge was in Clifford's Christmas stocking.

The extra curtains Wifey ordered were also hung. All of the curtains are hung with paracord run through an eye bolt installed at each rib. 

We picked up some moulding to trim out the interior.

We asked around on Facebook about a car or truck wash that the bus would fit in. Someone replied that their friends were doing a car wash to benefit someone with cancer. We found them, and they washed what they could reach. They were not happy with their friends...

Wifey found some clips to keep the curtains from blowing around and getting sucked out the window during travel.

Long, cold winter.

We took a much need break from the bus after the race, and wrapped it up for the winter.

When we came out of hibernation, we had to clean up after the critters who did the same.

We moved him to his parking spot between the house and garage.

The new mattresses were made locally. With the bunks longer and narrower than a twin size, longer queen size foam was cut in half and upholstered. 

Wifey found some nice nightstands at a thrift store.

Our Victory Lane.

 Here's to Us! That first sip tasted so good! We put in 10 weeks of hard work, and now it's time to relax.

Camper line-up at the speedway. There was no shortage of Skoolies.

 From very low budget...

 To super nice...

 And everything in between.

 Here is the view from our site, looking toward Turn 3. We plan to build a deck on the roof similar to the one on the bus behind me in the future.

 The site is 19' x 40', so our bus with the awning was a perfect fit.

 You can see the improvements to the awning from here. I permanently attached the conduit to the roof, and the rest of the awning frame attaches to it with pins. The spacer blocks are redwood.

  Wifey scored a nice banner from Ebay.

 Curb appeal! Wifey got the flame sun shades from the dollar store.

 You can see my HF antenna atop the flag pole, or rather, you can see the flag attached to my antenna mast!

 The bathrooms and shower trailer were just a couple of rows over.

We could see the cars come off the backstretch, through Turn 3, and into Turn 4. The Sprint Vision took it from there, so we had a great view all the way around.

 Smoke rolls past during practice.

 Junior, too.

Skoolie got a tramp stamp while we were there.
