T-3

January 16, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

T-3 days now until drive off time.

The truck got some new tie rods, brakes, alignment and mufflers. Thank you SOOO much to the Meineke auto in Clarksville. They really did a great job at keeping me safe. Not only that but, the gave me a great price. They are a wonderful ma and pa operation and the nearby Enterprise rental treated me super great too, pick up and drop off service.

My final clear from the hospital and post here was this week and yesterday I got down to business cleaning out the inside of the trailer.

It rains a lot here, there was some dampness and a little mildew inside my fiberglass trailer so I opened everything up, moved cushions and cleaned off with a bleach-water solution. Probably more bleach than required but, I was on a mission.

I chose to get rid of the foam topper mattress and sheets since they weren't washed and there was a bit of mildew on the edges. I'm also going to leave the bottom bunk as cushion-less and use throw pillows to sit on. This is in order to use it as added floor space, (a split level for the cat.) The storage space under the bunk has a little drawer area and an open spot. Marco uses a top intry littler box and I can place it there.

If you are curious about the bathroom for me, I'll tell next. I'll wish you a good day now so you can sign off if you don't want to read this!

Okay, so, I'm going to use the PET system, which is dry, (uses a biodegrading enzyme and solidifying agent which permits you to dispose of your waste in a bag into any rubbish bin.)  I was really interested in dry composting toilets before moving to Alaska and even more so after, (plumbing is a luxury for those who live where the soil can support it and there is a network to flush into. Although contaminating perfectly good water bothers me too since it isn't an endless supply.

However I will wait until I get settled at the new place before choosing the composting system. For now, its waste in a bag and pee wee bags. If you cannot picture this I'll share the link here.  As a nurse, I think this would be awesome to use in bedside commodes instead of just the bucket!

First choice though, use available restrooms if there is one.

Back to cleaning and personalizing my trailer today!
