What we have done to remodel the Grisroy, a 20 foot Minnie Winnie, could not be any worse than when we purchased it in January 2008. Mind you, the Mister was not even there to look, see, test, check, and inspect this $1,600 beast. I took the neighbors with me after the Mister found it on Craigslist. They wanted $1,800, but JUMPED at the $1,600 cash offer I made.
The floor was bad, the whole thing smelled old. The stove/oven combo was something left to be desired.
In comes our little handy work. Last year, the Mister put in a brand new stove/oven combo, which costs as much as a stove one would buy for a home, Purgo-type flooring, and a new heating system.
I have spent a bit of time the past few weeks, painting, washing, cleaning, scrubbing, and now stenciling to make it fun and camping worthy.
No, it is not new. Yes, he still needs to hook up the shower, but we do have a toilet. The frig works great too!
I am not a person that "does" blue, but this was an old can of robin egg's blue I had in the paint storage, so I put it to good use.
I have a bit more to do on the stenciling before we head up to the mountains on Memorial Day weekend, where I will be able to sit in my new camping chair, drink ice tea, and knit to my hearts content.
There is nothing like camping and knitting with the Grisroy!
