Day 5: Lazy Sunday

A quick message to our viewers
We were informed that the term "home-going" is often used to describe a celebration of one's life once they have passed away. Well, that was not quite what we were going for, and we certainly hope there will be no "home-going" celebration needed for our little adventure. The thought process here was simply that we aren't going home, but rather our home is going places. At least I (David) thought that was clever.

The "Reno"vation process

Today was rather slow, although we had the best of intentions for hiking and seeing places, we decided to take a nice Sunday off and make good food, nap, play guitar and sing. So instead of our usual update, we thought we would give a few details about our RV and its "reno"vation process. We hope you will enjoy the pictures!

Here is our first photo of good ol' Reno, immediately after we bought it. Nick and I (David) drove it back to Golden where it was parked and awaited some much needed TLC.

 

Here we have Reno parked outside of our old apartment in Golden.

 

This is what Reno looked like before the renovation began; fully outfitted with red shag carpet, floral wallpaper (even in the shower!), and plenty of nice dark wood paneling, not to mention the extra special, custom wood rot in front and back (and found elsewhere later...).

 

Here we have the back of the RV in progress (being totally ripped out) and after with new paneling and paint.

 

Here we have the shower in progress and then what it looks like now. Not too bad, eh?

We are so thankful for our awesome friends. Truly, without their help, I would have no hair left.

 

Here we are, essentially as it is today. All that stuff packed so high had me a bit worried as far as having a too high center of gravity going down the highway, but it ended up being alright.
