Hmmm I have a very small Styrofoam cooler type box left over from having steaks (IIRC) shipped in. I'm thinkin that full of margaritas set over in a Yeti might work for campin! Just have to tape it tightly shut while travelin so it won't qualify as an open container.
Niw that is what I am talking about

Can't wait to take pics tomorrow! We have to get the main room painted tomorrow, so the tile work can begin Tuesday! The guys who painted the ceilings and did the priming for us, are bringing us their ladders to make a scaffold so we can reach the ceiling......kinda nervous cause I am the one who does the trimming!
We had the ceiling done in the textured 'knocked down', and it looks amazing! I had the closets and pantry done in the textured 'orange peel', and the walls are all smooth!

Looking great Chicky. Consider the telescoping paint poles @ Lowes/HD. They sell them with 4'-8' all the way to 16'+ for $25-$35. I've also seen trimming pads with rollers on the side strictly for trimming. Can't remember where tho'.

The ceiling starts at 9', then goes to 10, 11, then 12 at the highest. Then drops back down that way, on the other end of the room.
This is gonna take all day!

Morning phrogs.
Went for a few last dash rides thursday,friday and Saturday as the snow looks to be gone later next week as temp rise.
The brown bottle flu combined with a touch of the flu kept me down yesterday but loaded up the sleds and took them to a friend's to load in his trailer as we're headed to the Chippewa flowage this thursday for the last trip of the season.
Although I love winyer and all its attributes im ready for spring.
I've put over a thousand miles on the the turbo cat this winter and a good chance hit two thousand by the end of this weekend.
My winter friends.

Well, I've got 1160 on two different sleds for the season. Waiting on 4 to 8 inches today and working hard to make sure I can leave work early today and possibly take tomorrow off.
Not real interested in makeing the hike up north this year so hoping to close out strong
