Shed is Painted!

Wednesday - The painting is finished and I removed the carpet. The baseboard is painted and stacked in the workshop and will be reinstalled after new flooring is installed. 

There is quite a bit more that Bridget wants done but for now, we just moved the shelving and her table into the space. The screened room on the front of the shed is mostly empty. The old carpet and a broken 2-drawer file cabinet will be hauled away at the end of the month on the park “dump run”.

The small door next to the shelving leads to the workshop area. It needs organizing as I just moved stuff in to get it out of the way. 

New Lot in the SKP Park

Sunday - Here is the new lot. The shed is larger with a screened in porch and no tree. We still get some leaves from other lots but no where near the pile of leaves of the other lot. Behind the lot is an open field so no neighbors in that direction. 

We have someone painting the inside of the shed including the ceiling. We had originally emptied the other shed into the screened porch and I rearranged a lot of stuff into the small workshop on the right side of the shed. 

Monday - We were given a pile of keys for the shed most of them didn’t fit anything. The two doors had a deadbolt and a doorknob. None were keyed alike. I picked up new lock sets and deadbolts at Home Depot and installed them today. Now all of those are keyed the same. A step in the right direction. 

Tuesday - I found some wood to fix the porch railing thanks to Paul here at the park. I had removed this section to allow me to store the Ural under cover. The wind had pulled some of the plastic lattice loose last summer. I used the pneumatic stapler to fasten it back in place. The lot is scheduled for inspection this Thursday and I’m curious to see what else I may need to repair. 

Moving

Thursday - Another warm day. We moved the RV to the new lot yesterday and I brought the utility trailer to our old site to begin emptying out the shed. A friend came by yesterday to help empty out the “attic” storage.  Fortunately, most of our stuff is still in bins and boxes.

Saturday - I began the day attending the ham radio club breakfast followed by the meeting. After the meeting, I was a VE for their testing session. I then finished clearing out the shed and cleaning our old site. This included the hydraulic fluid on the concrete. But it’s done. 

In my next post I’ll show the new site. 

Unseasonably Hot - SKP

Saturday - Another unseasonably hot day for January. Had a few RV chores to do but not much else. The A/C was running by late morning and has been coming on well into the evening the last couple of days. Tried FT8 on 10m and 15m and got a couple of dozen contacts with the furthest being in South America.

Tuesday - It’s still unseasonably hot here in TX. It actually got up to 83°F this afternoon. We finally got all of the Christmas decorations packed away. Fortunately, when you are in an RV, there isn’t much room for stuff. 

I also started re-installing the gate and railing that I had removed last Spring to have someplace sheltered for the Ural. We will be moving to a different lot and putting this one up for sale. The fence and gate did improve the appearance. Two 2x6 pieces were rotted when I disassembled it so I’ll need to pick up a replacement and repaint the porch. 

Wednesday - It’s supposed to be warm again today but cooler than yesterday. We turned in the paperwork to put this lot up for sale and made the payment for the other lot today. We now have two weeks to empty the shed so I brought the trailer back from storage.
