First of all Welcome!
We've been working on ours almost 7 years, it takes time. As you see by our project thread, it's not the purtiest Eagle on the block as we are on a budget also. I got laid off a year ago this past May, so I do know what you are going through.
It's all about what you want and of course what you can afford.
Glad to see another 01 to grace our pages, not many of us around!
Enjoy the journey, it's not about the destination.
Have fun and most of all "Be Happy"!
Paul

Welcome to the family! I'm glad to see you jumping right in to starting your Project thread. I look forward to watching you redo your bus. I think most all of us are on budgets these days. You are a long way ahead of a lot of us. But you have definitely found the right place for answers and help here. I've very proud of the collection of Eagle knowledge of our members. And we are glad to have you here with us.

Looks good from here--and apparently we're all the same. . .we all start at the beginning! You've got a good looking coach there and I'll bet we'll see it on the road before you know it. As with everyone else, ask away for any questions you have and we'll look forward to pics of the progress.
Much fun--and few injuries in the process.

One of my worst phrases is, "I'm almost finished"

LOL.....I had my first "while we're at it" moment yesterday. It ended up costing an extra $300 so far.
We tore out the back wall, with intention on keeping the cabinets to refinish them. They weren't as easy to get out as I thought. We damaged them, so ...new cabinets will be coming(that isn't included in the $300). We got up the first layer (underlayment) and ended up doing the whole back half of the bus(the while we're at it moment). It will cost alot more to re-do the whole back half, but what the heck, right??? LOL. It has already started. We are $400 over our anticipated budget at this point. I see now that my origonal estimate DID NOT include all of those "while we're at it" moments.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to keep my urges in check.
Will put up more pics next week. Gonna push through the weekend and see what we can accomplish.
side note: I didn't realize how uneven the floors were until yesterday----another big expense.....its all good.
