The reason(s) we came back to Cousin Bob's was to get out of the cold weather of Ohio, free camping, have a place to work on the dune buggy, and, of course, to help Bob get some work done on the house.
Well the weather has been great!!!! In the high 70's and sunny. We are parked in our usual spot when we come to Bob's. The view from my window is awesome!!!

| The sky is so blue!!! |
The Dune buggy is sitting in Bob's garage waiting for it's new motor and transmission:
(yep, motor and transmission was junk, have new ones on order!!!!)
(Sorry no picture of this event!) More on the dune buggy on another blog.
Ah, yes, the reason we came out was to assist with the house. So far there has been lots of work done on it. This summer, Bob's brother, Bill came out for a few weeks and they were able to get some work done on it.

| More works has been done on the exterior. Bob has his own barley feild, the straw has gone to seed. |
 |
| Tongue and grove wood plank boards make up the interior walls. |
 |
| A unique way to trim out the walls!! |
 |
| Work being done on the far end of the building. |

| The Ceiling!! |
I'm not sure why I voluntiereed to varnish the walls, but I did......it's not so much the actual varnishing that was so tough, it's the sanding, vacuuming, washing the walls down and then the actual varnishing. it's the prep work that's a killer!!!!!
And then I didn't get all of the varnishing done......someone please tell me how I could be out in the middle of flippin nowhere and manage to get the flu for four days!!!!! I left the last section of the wall and the end wall to be done at a later date, probably in the spring when we return to help him again.
We left Bob's on the 14th of November to return to Quartzsite. In Quartzsite we will have the room to work on the dune buggy.....and it needs more work done on it. Will it ever end???????
Take care and travel safe.
Barb, Jim & Abby
