Light Housekeeping

Today's post involves the lighter side of renovating -- the kind that doesn't involve heavy lifting (win-win).   Most of these housekeeping duties involve a couple of tools at most and attention to detail.  Let's begin:


There are holes in walls from a previous life @ the lake.   Sure, it's easy to spy on your neighbors at the campsite but 12" off the floor isn't really convenient.   I found this cover solution at the local hardware store.  There is a rubber gasket inside for a snug fit and I can also run an extension cord through here if necessary.  It's all about options.

West Nile virus is in western NY now.  Gotta get the screen door in working order.  (The window screens are in nice shape already.)  Scraped off the old weatherstripping on the door and will replace with new polyfoam.  The big hooks will go somewhere on the wall to hold my folding camp stools chairs.  (sorry, that word makes me laugh)

What to do about cabinet doors?  Peg board of course!  Ventilation [check], lightweight [check], keeping with garage theme [check].   Bought this 4x4 section @ Lowe's for $7.

The 20"x4"x3/16" jalousie/louvered glass is cut and installed with my handy-dandy rubber mallet.  Verysnugfit.  =)   Will eventually put tinting on the stationary windows.

These things take time but they add to the overall enjoyment of the camping experience.  And that makes me happy.
