Giving Pp a head lift.
Post on work done back in 2024 before my surgery.
Raising her roof, nothing much like a facelift but just as needed. First backed her under the big magnolia tree in our yard to use one of its limbs. Then went around Pp, took out all the screws that were holding the raised top fiberglass topper so we can raise it 8 inch’s. To do this i used the winch on the front of la Vincent our shuttle bus/tiny home. Run it across the tree limb and down through the top of Pp where the ac unit was. Looped it around a 2×4 board. Pp’s top lifted right up in the air.
Then measured the gap between Pp’s bottom frame and the top, decided what Height i wanted and cut a 1/2 inch board. Then with screws we fastened the top of Pp to the board and the board to Pp’s frame.
Now the front was little harder it took building a frame working around the corners and filling it in. Will come back and do a finish board, pvc and wood with fiberglass and Bondo and then paint it.
ok Ty for reading and looking at the photos.

well it’s my blog so I guess I can!!
I am little down tonight. Why well glad you asked be glad to tell you.
a few weeks ago and old friend that was no longer in my life passed away at 52. His step son told me and we went to his funeral. The step son will call him J. J let us know he was sleeping in his truck. So I offered him a place to sleep, food, weed, money for some gas and cigarettes. He said be back on his feet soon he had a job. Well that job ended and from my point of view he never went over there and when he did didn’t stay long. J said he wouldn’t need place to stay very long.day or two turned into weeks.
at first he was communicating. And seem to be trying. Then J stop helping, staying gone. Asked him to like weed eat before we had yardsale which he made 55$ he didn’t weedeat had do yardsale in tall grass. Mema asked him to cut the 100 by 200 feet space with some weeds in back he never did. He was smoking up our weed at a rate was crazy. So we had to cut him off. We have seen him like twice since. Payed him money to put new brake line on pp. had to ask him 3 times then had to finally tel him to do it now please. He half assed it left my tools under the van in the dirt. Got under there my self and seen he left the line lose and not fastened and against the muffler pipe.
so after week not seeing him and few promises he would be here. I just told him today to come get his stuff and move on.
it sure reminds me why I don’t let people in and for sure don’t let them live with us.
ok ty for reading.

Building Pp 100$ at a time. It has become a theme that ever time go to get supplies for a project it seems to be 100$. That good and bad lol 😆.
The back platform.
this platform will be closed in and this will be the bathroom and shower.
added the lights from our shuttle bus tiny home theses lights cam on the bus.
then removed the back doors and boarded it up there will be a pass though door from inside the van to the bathroom.
then built the platform.
first framed then cut the bottom board to the size and shape then added a sheet of pvc plastic to the bottom to protect from water.
added a frame filed it with spray foam then toped it with a 1/4 inch plywood and painted it.
once the bathroom is closed in will install a finished floor thanking about palette board sealed with a clear coating.

Ppt and Posse trip out 03/16/2025
Pp took the posse on an outing today. Pp had me drive her 48 miles, 1 hr 40 minutes.
She was in a running mood!
So went & found a new small park to eat lunch “old fashion garlic bologna sandwich with no bake chocolate peanut butter candy. Very good!
After lunch I painted, not the best I’ve ever painted but, got to start back somewhere. There was a cabin across the lake and when I saw it, I had to paint it!
Took the two chihuahuas of the posse with us, they loved the food and the walk & all the smells etc..
Ty ☺️ for reading!
