And this

This is the second thing that has kept us very busy. hahahahaha every time I look at these pictures I just have to laugh. Since we are adding to our family, we decided that our 5th wheel would no longer be big enough, so we set out to find something bigger. We decided to buy a single wide trailor, fix it up, and continue to save for a house. We started looking in the paper and saw an advertisment for a trailor in Ft. Thomas, so we went to investigate. The owner said it had slight water damage. That was a joke. When we saw it, we just had to laugh. it had a 16 ft hole in the side where there used to be a sun room, and with all of the rain, the ceiling and the floor was ruined. We left probably not thinking that we would ever consider it, but Jayce is quite the bargainer, and he figured that if we could get it for really cheap, then we could fix it up and still not spend much. Well thanks to Jayce's bartering skills he learned in mexico he talked the guy down to $1,700.00. hahaha Well most would think we were pretty crazy. Maybe we were, but we figured what the heck and bought it. When we brought it home, Jayce's dad said "what in world did you let him bring home that pile of junk for." It was ugly and nasty, but we were going to make it ours. Well now I will show you some before and after pictures. If you came to visit, it would be nice enough, but you cant fully appreciate it unless you have seen what it looked like before. BUT... before all that I need to give thanks to Jayce for being able to fix just about anything he puts his mind to. And I want to thank our family for all of the help. We had help cleaning it when it was gross and full of weavels, we had help painting, and the biggest help of all was from my wonderful dad and brothers. They took two weekends to come and fix "the hole". We couldnt have done it without all the help and we really appreciate it. We have a great great family. Thanks guys!!!!!!
