Devouring life, one bite at a time
One of the best things about the camper has been the countless inspiration for projects. And what better way to experiment than with a beat up camper? Like this penny tile floor. I’ve probably spent hours drooling over Pinterest boards with these kinds of things, …
Welcome to our photo album chronicling our adventure fixing up a ’77 Dodge Robinhood. It’s been burly, but boy, have we had fun rolling our sleeves up and making improvements. When we purchased the camper in the spring of 2017, the bones seemed pretty good, …
Almost two years ago, we did something a little crazy ….
