Selling This, Buying That

Good Morning~ Wish I could report that we got the corner done, but I can't. But I can say that we made ALOT of progress. It will be done in probably about an hours worth of work. We could have finished it last night, but we had a guy coming to look at my husband's motorcycle that he was trying to sell. And Good News - the guy bought it!! Yay! He should be coming to pick it up today or tomorrow. Yesterday I mentioned that I would be sharing a blessing from God. Well my husband had wanted to get an RV. He loves to go fishing and camping and had been tent camping the last couple of years since our last RV was totalled. Anyway he has been looking and looking for something in our price range. Well we had really wanted to get something with a bathroom. The idea of having to get up to walk to a bathroom in the middle of the night - was not something that I looked forward to at all. But most of the trailers that had bathrooms were out of our price range.

One day last week as we were headed home from an errand, my husband asked if I minded if we stopped by an RV place. He wanted to look inside of a pop up camper and see what they were like. So we did. As we were fixing to leave, one of the sales ladies asked if she could help us. We told her that were were looking for a trailer in this price range and she said she had a trade in coming in later that day or the next day that she could sell for that price.

The next day it came in and she text photos of it to my husband. When he got home from work we went up to look at it. We were so surprised at how nice it was considering that it is a 89 model. We were very pleased with it and decided we would buy it. The next day we went and did all the paper work and such. And brought it home.
God really blessed us with this trailer. It is 31 foot - we would have be ok with a smaller trailer. It has a pretty nice bathroom with a shower and tiny tub. A couch that lays out into a bed. And the only thing we don't really like is that the trailer originally had 2 bunk sized beds on either side in the bedroom at the back of the trailer. And so someone had taken those mattresses out and then built a board across the whole room - like for king sized bed.
See what I mean at the end of the hall. And it did not come with a mattress. We had hated the idea of paying several hundred dollars just for a mattress for the trailer - but my husband came up with a great idea - that will work since we sold the motorcycle. We will buy a new mattress for our bed - it is at least 9 years old now. It is in pretty good shape though for being the age it is. And we will take our mattress out to the trailer. So we will have a mattress that we know is comfortable in the trailer!
The freezer works great - the fridge not get as cold as we thought it should - we will get thermometer and put out there and check it out. We know of someone who works on trailers so we will have him come look at it and see what he can do before we decide what to do. The tires on it are in good condition and the AC unit had been replaced recently. Oh some of the other RV's that we were looking at did not even have AC's - it is just too hot here in Texas during the summers not to have an AC - so I am thankful for an AC too!
Well I am still praising God for blessing us with this trailer. We bought it for such a good price - we had not found anything even nearly as nice or with bathroom and AC for this price. Thank you Jesus for this and all the other blessings that you lavish on us all every day! :o)
