Well, we have finished up the inside of the Holiday Rambler.  It wasn’t nearly as time consuming and brain draining as poor Midge!  Bless her heart.

Some of the accomplishments over the past few weeks:

  1. New water heater
  2. New water pump
  3. New fresh water tank
  4. New shower floor (talented husband made a shower pan and lined it with a scrap of left over linoleum.  Cost = next to nothing!)
  5. Ran new Pex water lines throughout
  6. Installed new curtain hardware  and made curtains
  7. Reupholstered all cushions
  8. New coat of polyurethane  on all woodwork

The cushions actually look pretty good!  They blend well with the walls and turquoise accents.

Working on the Holiday Rambler

by projectmidge

George brought the Holiday Rambler down to Denver so we could work on it this winter.  It’s home will be on the Western Slope.  She is parked at a rental property we own that is across the alley from our house.  It is pretty handy, and besides, Midge is residing in our drive way and we don’t have room for 2 campers back there.  Dear husband wanted to move Midge to a storage lot, but I wouldn’t let him.  She needs to be here with me.

I still haven’t come up with a name for the Holiday Rambler yet.  It’s tougher than you would think!  Midge came easily for some reason.  We have joined a new vintage Holiday Rambler Club.  It is called the “Ramble on Club”.  We are charter member number 13!  I have thought about naming her “Lucky”…. trying to negate the number 13!

Any way.  Remember these pictures?

Wow.  She is so cute and clean and tidy.  I miss those days.

This is what happens mid-renovation….be forewarned – It is shocking.  This is what I have to deal with.  I love my husband.  He can do anything.  EXCEPT pick up after himself.

Ready?

The horrible mess of a renovation.

The horrible mess of a renovation.

 

....and more mess.

….and more mess.

 

....and still more mess.

….and still more mess.

I KNOW.  

So sad.

This is what happens when my husband runs new water lines, installs new fresh water tank and water heater, and replaces the shower floor.   I told you he can do anything!  The mess he makes is the cross I bear.
More renovations HERE!

Waiting for Camping Season….

by projectmidge

Well, we are anxiously waiting for Spring and Summer to get here.  This winter has lasted far too long.  As I was looking through old pictures of Midge, I found this video we had taken on our maiden voyage to Canon City.  It just cracks me up!  We were listening to some awesome music while enjoying a cocktail and dear husband decided to film while “Caravan” was playing.  It suits Midge perfectly!  It’s not very long, but it REALLY makes me want to go camping!!

Enjoy!
