Alumaflamingo To Do List

We have less than a week to go before we head to AlumaFlamingo in Sarasota and we still have so much to do! Here's what we've accomplished in the last month or so:

• Replaced roof vents (the one above the bathroom was a Vienna Sausage can installed by a previous owner!)
• Replaced or repainted all vents on the exterior walls of the trailer, replaced all screens to keep creepy crawlers out!
• Sealed all windows and reshaped the "eyebrow" shades above each window as many had been bent over time
  
• Removed all fixtures, tub, sink, countertop and cabinet from bathroom
• Primed and painted the interior of the kitchen closet where the hot water heater and refrigerator will go, along with the area that will be used as a pantry
•  Primed and painted the bathroom

---

• Fiberglass repair to tub, sink and countertop
• Applied preliminary coats of Tubby to tub and bathroom sink/counter
• Painted the interior of the entry door and used chalkboard paint for the swing out portion that exposes the screen door
• Installed hot water heater (although it is not hooked up yet, just mounted in the closet area in the kitchen, curbside)
• Installed Astradome (had to create a new frame, purchase and attach new lifters first!)
  
• Installed Fantastic Fan vent in the rear cabin

Ready or not, here we come!

Here's what we need to accomplish in the next few days before AlumaFlamingo:

• Finish applying the Tubby coating to the tub and bathroom sink/countertop, let dry as long as possible before installing back in trailer
  
• Build box/shelf around hot water heater to support refrigerator above
• Install plumbing and holding tanks for gray water
  
• Install tub, counter, sink, faucets and cabinets into bathroom
• Make shower curtain and rear cabin divider curtain (thank you, Polly!)
• Install remaining window screens
• Install screen for entry door and apply weather stripping
• Install new tires and hubcaps
• Rivet Riva's underbelly so it doesn't come loose again like it did on our way home from Key West
• Install 12 volt battery
• Remove and wash all dishes, utensils, bedding
• Do a good bug bombing now that all the holes and cracks have been sealed
• Clean interior
• Wash exterior
• Remove the fence panel in the backyard so we can hitch Riva up and move her up front
• Create a menu plan and go shopping for food and supplies
• Pack up all our food, supplies, equipment, bikes

I hope we can get all this accomplished in the limited amount of time we have left. Wish us luck!
