I just sewed some curtains. They're pleated, but you can't really tell in the photo. I'll get the valance(sp?) worked out later. Oh, and it's not nearly as crazy bright in the camper as it looks in this photo - I guess it's from the flash on the camera. :CC

I'm about to go install the flooring. I hope to be finished in a few hours.

To be honest, I hadn't considered it. I thought it was a Teardrop only event?

I have that time off, and if they'll let me in with my Tiny Travel Trailer then I'll come. I'd sure like to go. :thinking:

Well lets put it this way. It is for teardrops only but no one gets turned away. It's that Teardrops have priority in the main campground. The Spitfire pictured below came all the way from California and didn't get turnned away. You just may have to improvise for elec. if you need it.

There's also more room where the TT's park. Just ask Doug, and he had a teardrop. Warpony was also there last year with his TT.

Not only did the Spitfire not get turned away at Minden, but it actually toured to Minden with our group from Northern California. Here's a shot of most of our trailers at alpine summit in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Just peel and stick. Peel it, and stick it. No problem. Grrrrr! What a pain this has turned into.

Image
The counter is now covered.

Image
Why is it I can see the lines with the camera flash, but not when looking at it? :thinking:

The floor is taking a lot longer. I'm working on the dropped floor section now. I should have it knocked out tonight. I still need to pick up some edge trim. So many little things now.

It looks like I'm going to have to sponge a lot more beige to tie the colors in. I have way too much white/black and not enough beige. I probably should have used white as the background color and sponged the beige onto it. Oh well, I can always repaint if sponging more beige doesn't work. :roll:

Ok, I just did some sponging and I think it's going to work out.

:thumbsup: I'm much happier with it now.

It looks really good. Did you get crossed eyes from looking at the pattern you were making abstractly? :thinking: That happens to me all the time.
