I survived.

We were in such a frenzy to get everything functional for me to leave town that I didn't get many pictures, but will post what I took.
My traveling partner and I left Dallas around 10am on Sunday, June 6 headed to Memphis, TN. I made a reservation for a pull-through spot at Graceland RV Park and we did, in fact, arrive there safe and sound in the early evening. We pulled out early the next morning headed to Kentucky Horse Park Campground in Lexington, KY for Saluki Nationals 2010.
It was a great trip. The Airstream was awesome! I might actually love camping now. LOL
On the return trip we decided to not stop in Memphis, but rather stop just outside of Little Rock, AR for the night, then drive back into Dallas the next day.
When we got home I realized I didn't get a single picture of the Airstream parked at either campground site. Note to self... TAKE PICTURES.

almost ready

Wow. We have done a ton of work lately.
The stainless counter tops are in and they look amazing. There are a few little quirky things that we will change, but everything works for now. Almost all the plumbing is done. Only the shower pan is left to wrap up. The sinks and faucets have been installed. The frig and stove are hooked up. The bed platform has been painted. The carpet is down (and it's super squishy). The closet doors are back up.
As of right now, all we need to do is put down plywood in the bathroom, install the Marmoleum and toilet. Next the gaucho goes in, then the hardwood floors... and we are done.
Oh, I need to whip out the curtains. I have all the curtain rods and fabric. I just need a little time to sit down and put it all together.
Pictures will be added soon.

I have an amazing plumber!

However, I can share a story...
As he was putting the finishing touches on sweating up all the copper and gluing the PVC, he asked me to turn on the outside water and pressurize the system to test everything he'd been working on for the past few hours.
Him: OK, turn on the water at the house, then slowly open the valve.
Me: (holding my breath as I hear water rushing into the trailer)
Him: OK, come in the trailer.
Me: (walking in)
Him: What do you hear?
Me: Ummm... you not yelling for me to turn off the water?
Him: You got it! :-)
Everything worked! No leaks!
The Airstream is now at the shop for stainless installation. I'm hoping that part goes smoothly.
now I lay me down to sleep...

I am thrilled to report that the bed platform is done! I have a place to sleep! And the dogs have a place to sleep! Woohoo!
OK, the inside of the crates are sanded and primed so there is no bare wood exposed. The crate pans fit nicely and now all I need is bedding. Remember, the top of the platform lifts for easy access to the crates for cleaning or retrieving items from the back of the crate. For the record, I'm guessing item retrieval will happen most often in Jack's crate. The top overhangs about three inches to make lifting easy for now, but the husband has plans for some sort of hydraulic lift system. Stay tuned for details on that. In the meantime, I'll post a picture of the top lifted when I have assistance.
The pictures still have blue painters tape on the crate doors because we are planning to stain the front, but have yet to choose or buy any stain. It's on the to-do list. Also on that list is to prime the top of the platform to protect the mattress. That should happen before I leave in two weeks.
The back and right side of the platform has storage compartments with tops that can be lifted for access. These storage areas also have access doors on the outside.
We have a queen size memory foam mattress for the top. I cannot wait to nap!
cabinets are done!

We got the Airstream back yesterday and the cabinets look awesome! I can't wait to get them painted. The rounded cabinet turned out exactly as I wanted. The pictures show the kitchen sink and bathroom sink just sitting up there as we are cutting the openings later today.We also need to go pick out cabinet hardware. That can happen when the counter tops are being installed.
just a hint...
