Jims projects have been many. He made the picnic table when we first got here. It is ver-r-ry well made and heavy. Dan is inheriting it when we leave. The fence was put together using scrap construction lumber. We have pictures of eagles facing in or out to put onto the windshield flag(s) bar. Jim also made a terrace light from a rounded lumber section. This he also painted red, white, and blue and we bought a carriage style light for outdoor use. I'll have to post a picture of it when it's set up in Idaho. The drawers he made for our storage area are fantastic. Now we just sllide a drawer out to get whatever we want. No more pulling out crate upon crate trying to get at the one item we need. The Deangelo sign was his first attempt at using the router he found at a pawn shop. That was Dan's housewarming/birthday gift. Not pictured is the cabinet he cut back, had a door made for, and the mounting of our new flat screen HDTV. He's had to replace 2 light fixtures, and 1 toilet (difficult job in limited space). For convenience he added an outside electrical outlet and fans to blow on driver and passenger. Normal maintenance had him replacing 1 house and 2 engine batteries. Although there have been other projects these were the major ones.

I probably won't post again until we're set up in Idaho. Be prepared for pictures from our travels through New Mexico (Carlsbad Caverns and Gallup), Las Vegas (family and friends), California (San Diego Zoo, San Francisco, Camp Campbell Camp of the Redwoods), Oregon, Washington, Montana, and finally Idaho (30 miles south of Canada). Whew!!! Sounds exhausting but we're allowing 30+ days to see it all.

On the road again..........
