The Man Cave

No, we're not in the tropics, we're here at Wagons West at the Spring Fling Luau. Don't we look good? Welcome to our new home!!! This is our front door.

Our "new" living room furniture, compliments of Uncle Rich and Aunt Henrietta. I really like the color it adds to the living room but it's not quite what I want. For now, we're going to just get dad a recliner and then probably wait til next fall for the rest. What do you think of that "beautiful" lamp in the corner. It's on loan also until I find what I want.

Dad's workshop shed plus my laundry room. The washer and dryer are old but I used them yesterday and they work great. Lucky me!!!

THIS IS THE MAN CAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you can see, it's nothing special, just a carpeted room with sheet-rocked walls. I suggested painting the ceiling a nice white but dad and Roger said, NO Way!!! Because when they smoke their cigars and drink their beer, they don't want the white ceiling getting all yellow???!!

There's a little closet in the corner for the vaccum and things like that. We'll put some new fabric on it once dad decides what his theme will be. Behind the burgandy rug is an air conditioner.

As Porky Pig used to say, "Thhhhhhhhat's all, folks!"

Have a super, stupendous week. How can you hep but have a great week, Amy. LOVE your ring.

We Have The Key!!!

We got the key today even though we haven't made our final payment yet. So here's a tour of our new home. Forgot to take a picture of the front door - will do that the next time we're in there. This is a picture of the kitchen taken from the living room.

The head end of the bedroom. I have a friend here in the park who has the exact same model trailer and she says this cupboard is a total waste of space but we'll see. I'm not sure I have any knick knacks for this space but time will tell.

This is in the bedroom, taken from the window by the back door. There are 3 sets of 3 drawers - the 3rd one is behind the sliding mirrored door and then there's space to hang long clothes.
There is storage space above the closet also.

This is the door into the bathroom taken from beside the bed. The bathroom has two doors - one from the hall and the other from the bedroom. I plan to paint the mirror, light fixture and the vanity, probably a light green since the wallboard has white with light green ferns in it. There is carpet in the bathroom - same as the entire trailer.

Taken from the living room looking at the kitchen, dining area and down the hall to the bedroom. What do you think of the chandelier, DeAnn? Dad says it's beautiful.

The living room taken from the hall by the kitchen area. The living room looks huge now; we'll see how much furniture we end up getting for that room. I want space to pull the table out. Plan to take our old chairs from our trailer and put in there to begin with, just to gauge space. Then they'll go out to the "man cave".

Well, this is our new home. Plan to paint the living room and some of the bathroom before we go home. I would like to paint the ceiling but that's a hard thing to do with my neck. Will paint the kitchen a nice bright color, maybe even burgandy again once I get my living room furniture.

What do you think?

I plan to get dad a sign for his birthday that reads: "Peter's Man Cave"

Our New Home In Tucson

Here's a picture of the new homeowners. They sure look happy about their new venture, don't they?

Our new home, come January 2012. We will begin moving some things in next week but will not be properly moved in until next season. Site #129
This is the carport. I did not get a good picture of the driveway - it is not cement but a very nice brick patio. Just what dad wanted all along.

THIS is the "MAN CAVE" and dad is so excited. It has a double door - the sliding one on the picture and then another inside door with a deadbolt so only those with the secret password will be allowed in. I want dad to decorate it like his family room back home. We have some extra pictures and cars that would look beautiful in there and I have some extra fabric to make some curtains or valances for him. What do you think?

Our front door - welcome to the Casa Haan.

Our current home that we will be leaving behind. Note the new Southwestern art that we just put on the front. It will be going with us.

That's it from Arizona for today. Love to you both for all of your wise words and encouragement during this process.
