5-2-10 Sunday (Broken Wand)

We spent a lot of time at the RV today.  2 big projects.  Hang the bedroom mini-blinds and install new A/C intake vents.

The first window blind was a little annoying to hang until we got the groove.  The measuring, leveling, pencil marking and all that jazz was cumbersome.  Many times we took extra steps that weren’t even needed.

The RV A/C intakes are old and partially broken.  Jim called Fleetwood to see about getting new ones.  Of course they’re discontinued.  He decided that they’re a pain in the ass to deal with anyways so he installed home type intake vents that will accept the disposable standard sized filters.

We removed the cushions and side panels from the dinette so we can work on recovering them.  I installed the tire covers to protect the tires from the UV rays.

That’s about it.

  1. I think you should totally do a vlog thing where Jim is the RV Fix It guy and he can talk about the repairs and you can add colorful commentary.

    And good to know that mini blind cords can turn people into Zombies.
