Can you tell that school is over? We have time to catch up on all of the progress! As you can see that most of these RV projects were done at night at the Car Finder shop. Mainly because Madison and I are at school and work all during the day, and the only time … [Read more…]
When we first took on the RV re-do project, The Vision of painting the outside was one of the BIGGEST (or most intimidating) parts for us. So after a few YouTube videos, we were feeling confident enough to go for it. And, like most of this project, we weren’t really concerned with producing “showroom quality” … [Read more…]
All of this happened a while back – we got the rack over Christmas break, but it has just taken us a while to get this all posted. I was PUMPED to get this rack on Vie. We were originally going to weld a custom rack. This would have been a bit more difficult. And even … [Read more…]
We were DYING to get Vie out on a test run. So, we set our sights on Christmas in California! We wanted to test her out on the long haul and see how she could do. With finals and everything crashing down before we left, we didn’t have time to get the roof rack set up. … [Read more…]

We had the idea … [Read more…]
Let’s get rid of the nasty nast! We started by taking off all the blue velvety curtains, and taking out the cushions. Then we started removing the nasty wallpaper with scrapers one inch at a time; sometimes we could rip off a whole square foot at a time and boy that was satisfying! Cees used … [Read more…]
Alright, renovation time. Here is what we have dreamed up: I sketched this during my invertebrate paleontology lab. Aint nobody got time for spineless creatures that died millions of years ago! I have an RV to remodel! Kind of what we are envisioning for the outside is a lighter brown or beige all over… … [Read more…]
For the past few weeks we have dreaming, scheming, and searching HARD to find the perfect RV for us. Cees spent countless hours combing Craigslist for RVs in practically every city from California to Kansas. Twice we found promising rigs, contacted the owners, and were ready to go pick them up in Colorado, but both fell … [Read more…]
