Yep, what goes around, comes around.

The progress will be fun to watch. One of my coworkers & her husband just bought their 1st home & it was also a MESS! Shelley has been scrubbing with bleach & working her fingers to the bone. The picture progress reports enable us to provide support & it also enables her to see how far she has already come in her task.
When finished, that camper will be PRICELESS!

I, for one, am looking forward to the "Silk Purse" that will come from this sow's ear. I make my living as a Handyman and have the ability to look past the dirt and filth, and see what the end product CAN be with some elbow grease and few bucks. No, it won't be pleasant work, but the rewards will be worth it.

Why do you think plumbers charge the big bucks? Unpleasant work brings big profits for those willing to put their pride aside and invest in a little protective gear. I had to replace a floor flange for a toilet earlier this week. The work took 45 minutes and the parts were less than $20 and it was 1/4 mile from my house. Final bill (happily paid by the homeowner) was $185. The homeowner said that he knew how to do the repair, but didn't want to deal with a "Yucky toilet." I love guys like him. Cha-Ching!

Yup, I admire harleybob for his ability to make a silk purse from a sows ear. I know he will do a fine job and have a very nice motor home when he gets done. I am fairly handy myself and have done what others thought impossible or would not touch, and I know the rewards and self satisfaction of doing things and helping others do what ever. Having never met you, your post about yourself says more than 100's of the other post about you or the ones you have posted. You are the handest person I ever read about, you are the $$$$doughgod$$$$$.
I wish you the best at finding more people like you when you need them.
