New Look

We had new carpet installed in the living area and the garage which is now a combo office, storage area and Woody's work area.
After saying goodby to Will and Sean we got busy and moved all the furniture, cupboards and other stuff out of the fifth wheel. We were just about finished when Norm arrived at 10:00 am and lucky for us it was a nice day as everything had to be outside during the installation. Woody opend the large drop door at the back of the fifth, propped it up so we could move my desk, chairs, cupboards, and othe stuff onto the door. The other items had to sit on the ground, wished I would have taken some pictures but we were so busy, did not think of it. Anyway the carpet was installed, good quality berber with industrial underlay so should last awhile. We had to hurry and move all the stuff back in as it had started to sprimkle, lucky for us it was just a shower and not a downpour. It took several days to get everything back in place again, as we have to secure all items so they do not bounce around while travelling. Here are a couple of pics of the new look!

The new carpet is extended to the cupboards which creates the look and feel of a larger living space.
We also got rid of the dinette bench, we had tossed one out while in AZ and bought the two chairs and now decided we like the extra space, so did not reinstall the bench and will stick with just 2 chairs. We will pick up some small folding chairs for extra seating for company though.


The carpet is so nice in what was the garage, this space is warmer and feels more like part of our home now.
My desk on the right and Woody's bench on the left, sorry couldn't get a better pic of his area due to small area.
I really do like my space now, better organized and feels so much warmer and brighter.
Thought we would be finished with renovations when we sold the house but I guess we are addicted eh! LOL
Sure worth it though, better use of space and suits our needs much better!
My dear husband has more plans to improve our living space but that will wait until next year or maybe happen while we are in AZ this winter!
