RV Repair Day...

WOW... 85 Deg. F. here today... all kinds of sun...all kinds of heat! This is what we came for!

You all may remember, back about a month ago, we had a problem with our hot water tank leaking. The cold water intake was leaking, and we ended up having to call in a mobile repair service to fix the problem. It was fixed and still remains dry today!

However, the leaking ended up causing other problems... we did not notice this leak for quite a while, and the water ended up leaking and running below out hard flooring in front of our entrance to our bathroom. Before we knew it, it was too late, the damage was done.

Hence, a decision was made to have someone come in and repair the damaged sub-floor, and at the same time replace all the hard floor coverings in the RV. Might as well, the existing floor was one big piece.

 

We decided to deal with Jim's Floor Depot, of Dundee, Florida. Just only 5 miles away. Above two of the installers start to cut out or existing floor...

Above you can see the badly damaged section of flooring, under our hard floor. The sub-floor was wet, and would have very soon gone to mould... just what you don't want! The installers managed to remove all the effected area of sub-floor.

They found out that the 1/2 inch chipboard sub-floor, was glued to 1 inch of styrofoam, which acts as an insulation. It was a very dirty, long, and difficult process to get the old damaged area removed as you can see above.

The new sub floor is being cut above... they decided to put in two layers of new sub-floor, rather than try and put styrofoam back in. They had 3 installers working on this job all day today...

Above is the end result of today... they did an excellent job of replacing the bad, wet area. All is good again. Tomorrow they will return first thing in the morning, and you will be seeing the new floor all laid out, in the blog tomorrow night!

Of course with all this construction going on, Judy and I went out to enjoy a nice NY Pizza night, just up the road! It was good!

Check out this link that Kristina sent me... Dr. Shawn got Emmie and Paige to sing happy birthday to Kristina on social media, and sent it to her for her birthday! She loved it!

No...I don't want to go back...

Temperatures here climbed a lot last night, and it was warm during the evening for sleeping, but since I have retired... sleep comes very easy and last a long time....perfect!

Tom and Cheryl were in shock this morning as the came to realize that their holiday was over! I tried to cheer them up by making my special pancakes for them, but the trip home hung over them.

We headed off to Orlando by 10:15 this morning, in order for them to make a 2:15 flight back to Toronto...

We had previously booked John's Airport Service, to make the trip. I hate having to drive into the airports, so we left it all up to John. Look at him working above, getting those bags out of the trunk of the Airport Limo! What a Company, and I highly recommend their services!

 

 

I don't know why Tom and Cheryl were smiling in the picture above... standing outside Orlando's International Terminal... maybe they were happy to be heading home to the snow and cold in Toronto!

We all had a fantastic time while they were here! Will see them this summer when we head back to Ontario!

till tomorrow...

Travel Day...

Not much on the go today, other than packing a ton of stuff up at the rental home, and heading back to the RV.

 

Tom and Cheryl treated us to a nice dinner out tonight at Iampasta, one of our favourites here in Winter Haven.

Off to the airport for them tomorrow, as they head back to Toronto.

Till tomorrow...
