Been Too Busy To Post

Since the trip to Sacramento, I have been getting my R/F fixed.  It went out the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  I fortunately didn’t lose too much food in the process.  In addition to that with the rain I have been fighting the leaks in My Spot II.  When the repair guy came out to fix the R/F he attempted to seal the bedroom window.  Last weekend there were high winds in addition to the rain, so I pulled the awning in and there was a leak behind the W/D, I think it is from the dryer vent that was exposed.  I have since taped plastic to the window and the vent.  So far, so good, only a little dripping.  I also pulled in my slide, because it also leaked. 

 

There was a built up ledge that covered the pipe and wires that I still need to remove the wet carpet underneath.  There’s not much room to work, so it’s a bit of a challenge.

With the leaking window, the carpet got soaked.  I have wanted to replace the carpet with laminate or tile flooring.  I’m just going to have to do it sooner than planned.  That’s the main reason that I have been so busy, I’ve been removing carpet.  It has been a slow process.  I can only do a little bit at a time, because of my arm and the PT.  So far I have removed half of carpet in the bedroom and bathroom.  Now I am trying to dry out the wood flooring.

The stack of pillows and linens on the sofa/sleeper are usually stored under the S/S.   Even though I pulled in the slide, I thought it would be better to hold off putting them away until the leak gets fixed.

As you can see I have taken a bit of time to decorate for Christmas too.

Ever since I have been workamping, I haven’t been able to attend church very often.  Now that I’m not, I have been attending St Stephen’s Lutheran Church here in Santa Cruz.  I even attended their annual Christmas Party.  Below is what I brought,  Grand Marnier Brownies with Cream Cheese Topping.  They turned out really yummy.

                                

I will continue to remove more carpet and hopefully my leaks will be fixed soon, so that I can get things back to normal.  I will probably wait for new flooring until everything is dry, but that won’t be for a while,as this is the rainy season here in Santa Cruz.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season and stay warm and dry. 

Thanks for visiting

I like visiting.
