Tip Jar
Likely a bunch of repeats but Ive been busy bashing out the old interior of the motorhome so admit to having missed yesterdays post.
oooo! how tos? pix?
Lol at this point its all:
1. Take hammer, swing at weak spot
2. Use pry bar to pry/tear/break stuff.
We decided to gut the entire interior and all walling so we could find any water damage, use more modern/efficient insulation and be able to design our own floorplan, and have pretty much gotten down to just the frame at this point. I’ll post some pictures after work but I warn you its nothing exciting! With the dust from the old wall paneling, the old insulation particles, lack of ventilation and 105 degree days its been pretty exhausting but I feel we are making progress!
that is so exciting! Canât wait to see.
Be careful if there is any asbestos in the old insulation. Nasty stuff.
Would love to see a before pix and then a finished one. By doing a complete remodel you can update the plumbing, electrical and so on as well, it will be like new saving lots of $$$$$
well I made a long comment and posted pics from my phone but it seems the site ate it. I’ll devote a thread to it in the morning after I transfer the pictures over to the pc. I need to do better about documenting the process as a whole but when in the moment get focused on tasks.
Despite the work that needs done it will be far cheaper than a ‘new, model but on a reliable frame with and being an old chevy parts available and serviceable without special tools or degrees.
Were far in over our head but but totally committed.
I promise an ongoing thread. Ill probably need lots of advice:).
The nest has a lot of birdies with various backgrounds, one of us should be able to steer you in the right direction on what your looking for. One piece of advise I will give you is the word “unforeseen” I’ve project managed several projects over my time and that word always comes up. But keep your head up and persevere and one step at a time. I wish you and JD the best on this project so you can realize your dream of traveling
yay. đ„âïžđȘ
Thanks, LD!…I had somehow missed all these Senator Sanders prime time interviews….and appreciate your posting them đ
Good luck with your remodeling your motorhome!
Sorry Iâm not one of the people here who know anything about how to do remodeling work.
Glad there are others here who have that experience!
so well written.

yup. he should have this in the bag.
Not so fast! I see a rerun of 2016 with the same people in charge.
Whose bright idea was it to give John Kasich a speaking slot?
humphrey: that is a dđ€Źed good question. And the DNC is going to let GOPuke Kasich attack AOC and everyone she represents?? Good gawd, are they stupid and clueless! Glad I am skipping the whole debacle!đ
Warren is a fake Progressive. đ This 2020 DNC bunch is Raygun GOPuke Yuppie Lite. I strongly opposed them in 1980, and I sure as hellâs bells oppose them now. I have that âluxuryâ as I have no kids, etc. to answer to. I feel for the folks who arenât in my shoes but someone has to stand up to these frauds!đ€Źđ€ź

If the braindead DNC thinks speeches by Kasich, $hrill the loser, and Bubba are going to fire up the base….man, what a bad joke!
The DNC isn’t serious though, they could’ve put a few more of Bernies people in critical positions, adopted M4A and given AOC more than 60 seconds. If they want someone that can get a crowd going its Nina that girl is passionate!!! But nooooo were stuck with a lack luster neolib corporate owned shit show
