Here’s where the manual labor comes in! Ripping down all the curtains and trim to start painting is a lot of work! I’m starting to think I’ll have more time in prep work than putting it back together. It is mostly held together by staples, which requires a lot of pulling/tugging/prying. I want a fresh clean slate to work with, so I decided to pull all of the valances down as well. We also got a surprise visitor from Papa DoDo (my grandpa) he’s always curious about all the projects happening! And he’s an experienced camper owner, so he gets a lot of my questions thrown at him 🙂

A must have for every tool box:

Channellock long nose pliers (great for pulling out staples)
