Good morning!! I hope everyone has been enjoying America's Birthday!! We sure have! We have our new home up and running, and took her out for the holiday weekend! For those of you that don't know, because I'm bad about writing blogs and instead post random pictures on the Facebook page.... We bought our new home! It's a 2005 ForestRiver Wildcat. She definitely needed some love, so we've been working tirelessly for the last 3-4 weeks (time is running together at this point so not exactly sure how long) to renovate her to be in usable condition. These are definitely not professional quality images, because I refuse to take any until she's completely finished. However, some have been asking for pictures so I whipped my phone out.
Also, we really need to name our new to us rig, but we're having trouble with inspiration. I was trying to think of a name for something that was once old and yucky and has been given new life... But I got nothin'. Any ideas are welcome!
The outside will be repainted, but we just aren't there yet. The awning is new, and I almost broke my hand when we installed it. (Important note: hold REALLY tight to vice grips when working on the tension for the canopy. It HURTS when it spins around and hits your hand a few times!)
There will be a dining table and chairs back there behind the boy, but they haven't arrived yet.
It's a lazy morning around these parts so the kids are watching a movie after playing outside for a bit.
My dutiful husband just did the breakfast dishes... So the kitchen isn't picked up, but you get the idea. There is a countertop extension that fastens to the left side that I use when cooking.
Aaron will be building a nightstand on that left side. When it was originally manufactured, it matched the right side, but the last owners had ripped it out and turned the bed sideways. ...we didn't prefer it that way.
New toilet!!!! You don't know how excited I was about this! The old one was naaaaaasty.
One thing that we love about this camper is all the cabinetry! This is a great feature for a fulltime-family!
The kids' room. The boy's bunk and play area is up top and the girl's is layed out in the opposite direction on the bottom.
More fabulous cabinetry!!
So I guess to get the full scoop, here are the pictures from when we first got it.
