Location: Our RV Lot at Deer Creek RV Golf and Country Club

Dates: Feb. 8 – 27, 2018

When we last left you, we had just poured the concrete leveler in the front section of our outdoor shed. After it had 72 hours to cure, we started in on the finishing touches for the living portion of the building. Malcolm mounted the TV on the wall and finished up the wiring behind it (cable and power). He did this while the floor was ready to walk on, but before it was ready to cover.

Once the floor was cured, Malcolm installed the laminate flooring in the main living area. He put down the radiant cushion stuff, then laid down the flooring on top. The entire process took just part of a day.

With the flooring complete, it was time to install the trim then move everything back into the room. It also meant it was time to head to Ikea to get the fold-out couch/bed we had already decided on as well as a bookshelf.

As a reminder of how the shed looked about a year ago, here’s the same view back then.

We also finished decorating up the back portion of the shed. Here is the bathroom side.

With the guest shed complete, Malcolm was able to organize the other shed to provide more area to work on things. We found a nice fold-up workbench at Lowe’s. When folded up, our golf cart will fit in the shed. When the golf cart isn’t stored, the workbench folds down and Malcolm has a place to work on things.

Aside from construction work, we also had time to go out for a Valentine’s Day dinner at Ohana Cafe in the Polynesian Resort over at Disney World. Malcolm got a fancy drink in a pineapple and we work our island clothing.

We also gave the new guest quarters a test. Our son, David, and four of his Air Force buddies came down to visit for a long weekend. They arrived Friday afternoon (the 16th) and left on Monday around lunch time. On Saturday, they all drove up the road about an hour to take part in a mock battle using Airsoft guns (shoot plastic pellets).

David and one of his friends slept in the trailer (on the recliners) and the other three camped out in the new guest house – one on the couch (not folded out), one on a cot and one on an air mattress.

On Sunday, the guys all piled into a couple vehicles and drove an hour down the road to go to Busch Gardens. It was a nice day and the park was fairly crowded but they had a great time.

This Monday, the 26th, Malcolm joined several other residents of our neighborhood to work on sealing half of our street. They did a great job and were all done by 2:00 PM.

Someone on Facebook had asked Malcolm why the development didn’t take care of sealing the streets. The reason is that our neighborhood is one of several in the entire resort. We pay monthly fees to our neighborhood and to the resort as a whole. To keep our neighborhood fees down, our residents decided to take care of this item by having the neighborhood purchase the materials and having our residents offer their time to apply it.
