Today the guy from Carpets for Less stops by to measure the trailer for new carpeting and vinyl. The trailer is 10 years old and it is time to replace it. Actually we never really liked the original carpet color so it is not going to be missed.
It is going to be good have new, but it comes at a price. Installing carpeting in a house is easy and pretty straight forward. A trailer, especially one with slides, is not. So the labor cost reflects that, but because it is our home for 6-8 months a year, we feel that it is worth it. We just hop that there are no delays that prevent us from heading out right after Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed.

Sign
There is an auto repair shop in Oregon City that has a sign out front that share important ideas. Last month it was:
" Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate. "
This month :
" These days we are drowning in knowledge and starving for wisdom. "
Think about it.

This is the wallpaper on my phone. We found this rug at a donation store on San Juan Island, Wash.
The Leak (Update)
I took the trailer to a RV repair shop yesterday. They are going to search for the leak (not an easy job). Water has a way to sneak into any open space and creating problems. I hope the shop can find it quickly. With the problem fixed we can move forward on the plan to replace the carpeting and vinyl. Ten years of use means time for replacement. It's raining today so I hope they are working on it today.
Getting the trailer ready meant that the interior had to be emptied. The garage is filled with furniture and boxes of "stuff" from the rig. I look forward to having the trailer back repaired and remodeled and loading it up for our next journey. Arizona is going to be especially appealing after the rain we have had this fall in Canby.
