Handyman on Board



We've been living on Betty for just under 2 months and Terry has been very busy getting her outfitted and making repairs. Anyone considering this lifestyle should definitely be handy, or married to someone who is.

Here's a partial list of Terry's work on Betty to date:
  • Fixed leak in hydraulic system
  • Installed screen door bar (handle)
  • Installed screen door push latch
  • Modified the insides of several cupboards to better fit our stuff
  • Added a handle and sliding lock to our second master bedroom closet door
  • Modified the basement with shelves, hooks and mounts to keep the grill, fishing rods, kayak oars, lawn chairs, hoses, tools, Christmas tree and a myriad  of other stuff organized.
  • Replaced the light bulbs in the hanging pendant lights with LEDs
  • Fixed the bathroom fan when it stopped working
  • Installed a latch on the bedroom door to keep it open.
  • Installed a new toilet paper holder (after the original broke)
  • Repaired the broken screws holding our ladder onto the back of Betty
  • Added a cargo carrier to the back to hold the canoe, kayak and extra ladder
  • Installed new Smoke and CO alarms (as recommended by Mac The Fire Guy)
  • Mounted new fire extinguishers and glass hammers (.... Mac again)
  • Installed a paper towel holder
  • Installed 2 reading lamps in our bedroom
  • Added key hooks to the front closet
  • Replaced the bathroom shower head with an Oxygenics shower head
  • Mounted a soap and shampoo rack in our shower
  • Replaced the locks on the outside storage compartments
Thank you Terry!
