Yay, it's finished?

By July. 31st we finished the last “must do “ items in order to start our new travel adventure  in the 5th wheel. Did we get everything done as planned? Hell no. Reality sunk in that we’ll just have to take some unfinished projects on the road with us. We felt a bit defeated that all of our hard work and planning for the big day didn't work out 100%.

But after the realization about where we were with all final touches that couldn't get done, Joe prepared himself accordingly. He had kept a handful of necessary equipment  and tools that he felt were important to have for small projects and repairs.

The list includes:

 Sets of pliers, sockets, drill, saws, saw horses, pancake air compressor, pressure washer, small amounts of varies hardware, lubricants.

The weekend before Aug. 1st, our official departure day, we had an open house, or trailer warming party.

We wanted to show our friends and neighbors our labor of love and have a chance to see familiar faces one last time. It was a bittersweet party. We had many emotional and heart warming conversations. 

People loved what we had done with the trailer and it felt GOOD! For hours on end friends, acquaintances and neighbors poured into our trailer.

But in the end isn't there a saying that goes something like this:?

"THE BEST VIEW COMES AFTER THE HARDEST CLIMB"
