Quarantine & Repairs: Week ???

As the stay at home order continues, the days are starting to flow together a bit.  Unfortunately spring hasn't completely taken hold in Virginia and West Virginia, with cold temperatures and SNOW!

I miss Florida!

We did work on the RV a bit during one nice day and got our fan cover installed.

Our new tow hitch also arrived in the mail - the old one was heavily used and 'free' when we purchased the RV, but doesn't move when it should and moves when it shouldn't, a bit of a safety hazard, so we opted to replace it while we're parked.

Due to the cold temperatures and multiple sub-freezing nights we plugged our heat tape back in and turned on the heater in the RV to stop the pipes from freezing. 

Aside from the one day of work, most days have been either too cold, too wet, or too windy (or a combination thereof) to get anything done on the RV, so we've been hanging out inside and taking walks around the neighborhood when we can.  Even though it's been cold, the trees think spring has sprung!

After the new recommendation from the CDC regarding masks, my mother and I made a few out of old pillows using a hybrid of patterns available online.  Fortunately my mother is a much better seamstress than I am and was able to help me through!

For anyone who's reading that we used to hang out with WAYYY back in the day, we've been playing a bit of Starcraft II in our free time!  We hadn't played any computer games to speak of in 5 or 6 years, it's been fun to relive our 'youth' a bit.

Sadly that's all I have to report for now!  We're hoping the weather will turn soon so we can get some more productive work done on the RV...since the stay at home order looks like it'll be around for a while, we've decided there's not a particular reason to go out in the cold at the moment!

  1. Shane & Audrey here...lol, throwback to the Starcraft II days! Every once in a while, our sons play some (newer version/campaign I think) & we joined them at least once during the stay home portion earlier this year. Sorry we haven't looked up the blog previously, it's been one crazy year and we're considering moving too, busy with projects and did a lot of gardening! We should catch up again. :)

  2. Hi guys! I'm so embarrassed I never saw this comment...I only just now figured out how to turn on comment notifications for Blogger. I thought I'd reply even though it's so delayed so you know I'm not deliberately ignoring you! Glad to hear from you! We'd definitely like to catch up!
