so much to do!



Well, as most of you know, we are working on our new "truckhouse".
As Heath began to tear into it and see how much work really needed to be done, we discovered that there is WAY  more work to be done than we had originally anticipated. So, we have kind of just left it for a couple of weeks. 
**Our thought process kind of matched that of the picture above.**
We are going to have to replace all of the carpet, a ton of the plywood under the sleeping area, in the bathroom and in some of the closets. I have to reupholster pretty much everything that had fabric on it. We just became a little overwhelmed with it all. But I think we are ready to jump into it now.
My mom was nice enough to give me a TON of material (because she is the best) to try and use to re-cover the bench and sleeping area. Hopefully I can make it work.
Naturally, we are trying to do as much as we can for as cheap as we can. So if any of you lovely people have any ideas of where to get materials such as: carpet, plywood, etc. for cheap, we would love it if you would pass those along to us. Of course we are checking on craigslist, but we aren't having much luck there so far.


I just keep telling myself that is has to be "livable" and not necessarily "pretty"


Wish us luck, looks like it is going to be a long road!!

Go to a carpet store and get remnants piece(s) for the carpet and you may be able to negotiate with the price. :) Hope it helps. Love you. - Stacey
