Project: Tipsy the Boler Before
Tipsy the Boler before – it’s hard to call this post a before since it’s actually more like an in-between. When we got Tipsy back in 2012 we travelled in her for the first time in 2014 and then spent that summer fixing her up for a 3 month road trip down to the California / Mexican border. This ‘before’ however, is the before her last overhaul. So, let’s take a look at some of these before photos. Tipsy the Boler Before See the grind…

Project: 60 Foot Tower

Well, we struggled to get Netflix to stream consistently, and no way the other two would work. So, we did a whole heck of a lot of research and after the tree cutting in…

Project: Big Ass Fan
First, know that this fan is actually a brand of Big Ass Fans. No, I’m not cussing – it’s the real name, and I believe their logo is a donkey, aka, an ass. Okay, you can see the before and how little the fan is – I think it’s a standard ceiling fan, so about 4 or so feet. The new one is an i6 and it’s 84 inches, so 7 feet. So much bigger! We had to get scaffolding to install it – 15…
