Ok, this was Pinterest Inspired because, yes, you can learn anything on Pinterest. I don't have the link, but let me tell you, in true "nailed it" fashion, this was a bit harder than it looked.   Part of the issues were from the fact that I was on serious "fairlag"  (as one of my friends put it) Similar to jetlag apparently. But JWS was determined it needed done that day!   And honestly, he is way more in love with Wilma (the van) than I am!   So I made the pattern with the insulation. Did I mention that I have been struggling with vertigo on and off for several weeks. This did not help the situation. Then we pulled the pattern out and laid it on the garage floor on the plywood. Easy Peasy. Well, not exactly. The pattern bends and twists, the plywood, not so much. It took a little messing around... well actually it took some more power tools, big hammers, smashed fingers, a lot of sweat and maybe a bad word thrown in. But it is ...

It is taking me some time to warm up to this van.    I have finally named her Wilma.  Trips to the gas station like this are not endearing though.  I think it was the gas crunches of 1978 and a large Pontiac  since I have spent that much at a gas station!  More on her later.    And this... Last week for all this 10 and 12 year old fun and games.  And yes, he is bowling with spools of embroidery thread... Next week we trade it for four year old fun and games.   Can't wait to have him back!
