New Van Flooring

Tada! For $47 at Cosco, I satiated my lifelong yearning for bamboo flooring. It's puuuuurty! Took me an hour to lay out/saw/secure everything down. I had one plank and a few inches in scraps left.

My van is still inoperable. The police report came out with a zillion mistakes, and I'm still tangling with them over fixing it. The insurance companies haven't done anything yet because of the police report, so I'm still vanless. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I miss my van...

I go out and tinker with it every day. I now need to figure out why my electrical system keeps shorting out. I think some wiring got squished in the accident.

9 Boys

Wooo wooooo!

Van news

Yesterday I was driving my van out of the VW garage after an inspection, when the CV joint broke. Now we know exactly what part was making all that noise and needed fixing!

I have an appointment for Thursday. Still no word on insurance or the police report. I want my van back!

I used to gaze at it wistfully. Now it's at the garage and I don't get to see it. I was sleeping out in it at night, but it's back to the couch for me. Thank goodness for friends!
