Another family member stopping by to look at my latest investment.

City ordinances say that the RV has to be parked behind the front of the house. In fact, the City Inspector left us a kind note that informs us of following.:

"No major recreational equipment shall be parked or stored on any lot in a residential district except in a carport or enclosed building or behind the nearest portion of a building to a street; provided, however, that such equipment may be parked anywhere on residential premises for not longer than twelve (12) hours during loading and unloading. "

Needless to say, we had to move the RV around to the backyard. When the snow melted, it left our low-lying yard and driveway a runny, muddy mess. Our attempt to follow a city ordinance quickly turned into a mudslinging off-road adventure. The boyfriend threw the RV in reverse, revved the engine, pulled into the muddy banks of our wayward yard and dug a 20-foot trench right along the side of the house parallel to our grouchy neighbor's fence! The RV made it to the side yard which is "technically behind the nearest portion of the building to a street" so we are as much in compliance with the law as we can be at the moment.

This also put the RV right in the middle of my canine's running area. I did not make this keen observation until Khalista bolted out the back door! I honestly thought she had to pee like there was no tomorrow, but she headed straight for the 35 years of smells coming from the RV.


Look who's suddenly taken an interest in the RV.

She canted her curious head and threw up her curious ears and cast her curious eyes inside the doorway to see what it was I was working on.... Behold, she found a whole house that she could run around in and a couch that she won't get in trouble for sitting on!
