Completion!

Back to the good old temperatures, low 60’s overnight and high 70’s during the day. This morning was a little cloudy when we woke and the clouds continued to build throughout the day. By the end of the day it was quite humid and overcast.

First order of business was to take one of the propane tanks down to the office to get it filled, the use of the furnace over the last few evenings used up the gas in one tank. The trailer has two 30 pound gas tanks connected together by an automatic switch-over valve. This valve gives a visual indication when it has switched over indicating that one tank is empty. The good news here is that I take the (light) empty tank to the office, and they bring back the (heavy) full tank to the trailer.

Lyn brought out the quilt again this morning, so in order to protect my delicate ears I went outside to work on mounting the rear view camera. The plan was to mount the camera and minimise the number of holes drilled into the fibreglass. As it was I managed to get away with only drilling two small holes for the mounting screws. Behind the marker lights at the top rear of the trailer was a hole large enough to pass the camera wires through, so all I had to do was remove the light fitting, cut a small notch in its base, pass the wire through and replace the fitting with copious amounts of caulking. Two small holes were drilled for the mounting bracket, the holes were filled with caulk and the bracket screwed on. Easy!! Whats more it worked.

By the time I got back into the trailer Lyn had finished the quilt top.

After lunch we headed back down towards the coast for an afternoon walk and some more geocaching. By the end of the afternoon the sky was quite grey and the temperature was up to 76F with more humidity than we had experienced previously.
