Projects: Halloween Treat Bags 2019
Halloween Treat Bags 2019 – what are you giving out for Halloween this year? We’ve got KitKat bars – the chunky ones I used to love before having to go gluten free. And, we’ve got hot chocolate, ring pops, and Jurassic Park pop-rocks. Total score. We live in the country and the kiddos show up on quads, side-by-sides or even mini-vans that are like clown-cars. How many people can fit in one of those things?! Since there aren’t too many houses on our block we…

Project: Retaining Wall
Retaining wall time. We love vintage trailers, as I’m sure you know if you’ve seen all the work we’ve done on Boler trailers. Well, we also have a few Airstreams (we snagged two this year alone) and parking them has been tricky. So, we decided to build a huge retaining wall to organize the area. I say huge because it took 11 trucks, each with 7 yards of road crush. That’s 77 yards of fill. So much fill, but such awesomeness in the end. Retaining…

Project: How to Take the Frame Off a Boler
How to take the frame off a Boler is one of the main questions we get asked on our Instagram account @tipsy.the.boler. So, we thought we’d put a few of the photos and some videos all in once place to possibly help someone out. We’re about safety first. The process can be rough (sometimes we have to kick the frame out of place and it ‘crashes’ down with a huge bang) yet it’s safe. Below you’ll find step-by-step directions and then we finish off with…

Project: Plants 2.0
Plants 2.0. That’s right – here’s a little update on our plant project blog post from last October. I’ll share some of the plants from last year and how they’re doing now and also share a couple of new plants that are loving life on the acreage. Plants This fire stick guy loved his greenhouse life with his red tips and all. Well, now, he loves the south facing windows and all the light the sun has to offer. Oh, and he loves it so…

Project: Scooby Doo the Boler After
Scooby Doo the Boler After – did you see the before?! I told you it was such an incredible transformation. From bright new windows, to new mould resistant hull liner, this 13 foot Boler is ready for some fun. I think we put in about 200 hours into this project and did a few extras that we hadn’t planned on – like taking down the ensolite and replacing it with quality marine grade hull liner. If you want the full scope of the project, you…

Project: Scooby Doo the Boler Before
Scooby Doo the Boler Before – check out the state and condition of this 1977 fiberglass trailer. As most of you know we had two adorable pups – Bella and Lily. They’re part of the reason we turned to RVing since it’s a fun way to travel and take them along. In 2017 when we got our second Boler, our first Overhaul, and Lily was along for the ride. She came with us on 6 trailer hunting trips. She was a trooper. Scooby Doo was…

Project: My Ole Lady the Boler After
It’s done – and sold, yet the work we did on My Ole Lady the Boler is beautiful. Check it out – bright red accents with a light and bright interior. So fun. Oh, and if you haven’t seen the before, you should check that out first; it’s cool to see how much this lady has transformed. My Ole Lady the Boler After We took this shabby paint job, sandpaper, and a lot of time and turned it into a fun little camper. She’s ready…
