Bessie is ready to get started!

Today is the day!  My husband ordered a new truck for our business to replace our old one.  It has taken many weeks to arrive, but it is finally here!  Now we can get started on our truck to RV conversion.  Cleaning it up will probably take all weekend.  Maybe more.  I am so excited for this project!

A little background on us.  We are a home schooling family.  No, we are not converting this truck so we can move into it and live on the road for the next 10 years.  Though, that could be fun.  We are using this project as a learning tool for our 2 boys, ages 8 and 11, who are dying to go camping.  Some may say that an RV is not real camping. To an extent they are correct, but to get me to go with them this is what is necessary.  The boys are going to learn all about electrical, plumbing, body work, cabinet making, and every component needed to complete this project.  They are also going to be my photographers and co-bloggers.  So please,  keep your editorial criticisms to yourself.  This is a learning time and meanness is not helpful.

Later today we will post our "before" pictures of the truck.  By the way, my boys have named her Bessie, so from this point on we will call her by name.  I know, cheesy, but it makes it more personal to them and they are all that matters.
