I didnt replace the floor, plywood went on top of the rug, linoleum on top of that. The guys screwed the ply down (carefully and with short screws so it didnt puncture anything "under" and then glued the lino down and edged with aluminum strip. "The guys" are my husband (pretty handy) and a neighbor, a master carpenter who builds stages for shows, movies, etc. I am the design person. I render everything in MS publisher first, print it out and then stay right there to make sure they do exactly what I want... LOL.

I finished my updated Rvan website. http://weloveteaching.com/RV/RV.htm. I was a science teacher who dragged my students kicking and screaming onto the internet 18 some years ago. All my lecture notes are online so students could access them whenever. So I am pretty computer literate trying to stay ahead of the 5 year olds. I am just beginning to get the hang of my tablet now that I got a stronger pair of glasses... LOL. As much as I love books, the feel, the smell I am finding that publishers are using smaller and smaller fonts! so my tablet has become my reader and I can change the font size to reasonable. It is also my hotspot wifi for my computer when the wifi in campgrounds is pfffft.

My mutts... http://weloveteaching.com/mutts/mutts.htm
Simmy d'Pap is 16+ now and he still travels well. Woofie d'Pap is a "dance away dog", AKA the feral Pap. He doesnt want to be picked up. I knew he was going to be like this, but I let him be what he is. I tell people he escaped from his breeder and lived in the wilds for a couple of years before being recaptured. I cant believe people buy it...

Hi Ingrid! Since you are heading to the West coast this summer, hope you can make the OR gtg in September. You can find out all about it in the gtg section. Love your van!
