Settling In.

It has been one month since we took up residence at our RV park and we are almost settled.  Although it seems that everyday we find something else that needs updating or moving.  For example, the other day my husband decided he should take a turn at making dinner, so into the cupboard he goes.  The cupboard I had the canned goods in was at waist height and very, very deep.  Now I am the cook so this was not a problem for me just an inconvenience as you can't see the labels so you have to hunt for what you are looking for.  Please remember I do 98% of the cooking so I had accepted the fact that every time I needed something it was going to be a chore.  Well the one time he cooks he is not accepting of the fact and decides to turn the coat closet that is situated in the kitchen into a pantry.  What a wonderful guy, I now can see all the cans.  They are organized according to their purpose and so easy to get at.
Another great thing about this is that I now have a cupboard I can put my material in instead of under the bed.  Since moving here I have been able to make a baby quilt, a purse and two wallets, but it takes both of us to get at my material stash so the new cupboard will be excellent for my productivity.  Not sure what else I will make but I will think of something once I can more easily see all the fabric I stored under the bed
If you have been following my blog you will know that we developed a leak in the black water tank that my husband very adeptly patched up.  We thought that would be the end of our black water woes but alas that is not the case.  We have researched numerous times the opinions of others on closing the valve or opening the valve on the black water tank, and all the opinions are when you are not travelling the valve should be closed and emptied when the tank is full.  Okay we thought, closed valve it is, however we are having to empty the tank every three to four days, which is fine in good weather but when winter comes that will not be such a pleasant task, not that it is a pleasant task.  We then decided to take a walk around the park and see what the other full timers were doing.  Most of the full time residents have the bottom of their RV closed in limiting their access to the black water tank valve, so we are still unsure of what is the right course of action.

 We will let you know what we decide when next I post.
