Finish up electrical and then to the Highway patrol for inspection. C All new cushions through out and we got them through a connection.... Gaucho (90") across the back and dinette for 350.00. All upholstered for under 500. We are buying things that I never thought we would. Had the original back lock rekeyed. The key guy said we could get a ne one for about 6 bucks... hell no! rekeyed for 20 on the original chrome coated brass one... Thats it for now. Updated to come...

Like your backsplash, Houdini.
I'm sporting a few band aids myself, thanks to the grinder and a nasty knuckle slice... LOL Blood is a good thing.

thanks all. I am really enjoying this. Today my brother and I just finished replacing the leaf springs. Boy what a Bi_ch... I am sore and more blood sweat and tears. I have been posting the pics on the hunt. Still learning. What an experience. So far the most expensive thing was the leaf springs. $120.00 for both including brackets... we are having the cushions finished this week.... Thanks for the support... H

H Good job replacing the leaf springs and hardware. That's the single safest thing you can do to a trailer. And you paid the same price I pay for mine. Again good job.

Great back splash. Yep, blood, sweat and tears. I had all three today. Looked down and had blood on my hand a vaguely remembered hitting my head on something. Still not sure where it came from. co. Tears when things didn't quite fit and lots of sweat with temps in the high 80's!
The leaf springs have me in a conundrum. Mine will be replaced or rebuilt. Just don't know who's going to do it, yet. Saving them for last. I think that's beyond my blood, sweat and tears... maybe.
