It’s day one of #demolition on our new rig, to start prepping the space for our renovation ideas! 😁

After two weeks of planning, hours and hours of research, and a couple of trips to the hardware store, I’m diving in!

Today I managed to open up the blocked off side compartment in the overhead cabinet - wasted space that will soon become usable! 👍🏻

Then I moved on to pulling out the dinette, and got one bench seat and the table out before dinner time!

The tricky part of this rig’s design is that under each of the benches in the dinette there are key appliances - the furnace is hidden under one seat and the water pump is under the other seat.

I’m super excited to continue the demolition tomorrow, removing that last bench seat and start on building the new seating area... Can’t wait!

We woke up to a winter wonderland! Well, at least a Texas style one.

After spending most of my life in the frigid north where brutal winters and endless snow were the norm, I actively choose to live in more temperate climates.

At least I thought Texas would be more temperate in the winter, but it got down to 20F at our rig last night! 🥶😱

Thankfully, our furnace worked perfectly and we since we disconnected the water hose and drained it, we didn’t have any frozen pipes. Time to crank the holiday jams and make some hot cocoa!

How about you? Are you a snow bunny or a sun lizard? (Bonus question: What is the opposite of a snow bunny?)

Happy Friendsgiving!! I am thankful to be in our new home. We spent the day unpacking and I am loving our new place more and more.

My mind is teeming with ideas for renovations and I’m excited to dive in! But we took a moment tonight for a socially-distanced #thanksgiving dinner outside with one of our neighbors.❤️

And so it begins! We haven’t even been in our new rig for 24 hours and I’m already diving into projects. 🤣😅😂

To be fair, I need to remove the window treatments before we move the kittens into the space. 🐈‍⬛🐈 That way we don’t end up with kittens tangled in the blinds or chewing on the cords. 🤪

I’m super excited to share this renovation project with you all every step of the way! 🛠✏️🔧🪛🪚🧰

Hi from our new home!!

We decided to go from a fifth wheel to a travel trailer and see how creative we can get with a smaller space and be much more portable.

I'm so excited to tackle another project and make this new tiny space ours!
