So I have not been swallowed by the big, giant worm in my backyard garden, as I have not touched anything out there as planned.
We discovered some water damage in our beautiful Big Blue Van. Since I wanted to take my Mama camping while she is here visiting, so she too could experience the magic of our Big Blue Van (and since we have those brand, spanking new tires after our disaster family bonding trip to Salinas), I made Mr. Heike check out that damage.
This is what happened:
What the hell was I thinking? What the hell were we thinking? I have no idea if we will ever get the van back together. If you want to read my "notes" to the pics, go directly to to my Flickr page (which I still don't know how to use.). Notice how my kids are helping, and my mom's work shoes :).
So, if you want to see me in the next weeks, grab a hammer and come guide us. Or stand back, because tempers are flaring...
xoxo,
Heike
What I am grateful for: My Mama, who comes and interrupts JUST as I am about to swing my hammer at Mr. Heike.
What I am manifesting: That the roof WILL fit back on the van....

What a project - hope it all comes out well. Repair of anything is never fun!!! Take a deep breath - or two - or ten - and watch that hammer. :-)
ha ha loved the pictures. don't envy you the project though. and i hope mr heike learns to duck around your hammer. :)
Hi Heike.
Aren’t moms great? How do they always know when we are ready to do the hammer thing to our better half? I guess they at one time or another they have been there, done that! LOL
You'll get the van back together eventually....just be sure not to throw out any left over pieces because sooner or later you'll find out where they are suppose to go. Trust me...this is experience talking. It was not a van project but a tent trailer......I still have not recovered from "the project" and that was a long time ago...does the words” never again”
give you the full picture? SIGH….. you gotta love em!
So Heike, stay away from hammers, don’t work too hard, enjoy your mom’s visit and have a great weekend.

LOL...thank you my friends!
Lois, yes, my mom has been the Savoir of several family members here. :)
Warriorwitch, I am always happy to send you pics!
Pieceful...I will TRY to stay "peaceful" :). Now I know why construction workers (German ones, anyways) drink beer while they work.
We took a break today and hope it doesn't rain...also the wind keeps teasing me, and I have warned my neighbor to call me if my roof lands in his yard.....
Wow! Mr. Heike is a brave man to undertake this project! And what a women to help out in high heels, sexy Momma. Good luck you two! P.S. I wouldn't take anymore pictures while Mr. Heike is working, cause he looked at the camara like, "this hammer would look real good in her head right now" :)
I would love to own a van I could camp in. I really would. I'd never be at home lol.
