As an addendum to my last post, the unusually good gas mileage I had seen previously on the CR-V was not an anomaly; going and dropping off the PC to uncle I got 31.4mpg, which is exactly what the computer calculated.
I took a radar screencap of that storm I drove through from the last post. It was angry.
During my lunch break yesterday, I went up and vacuumed out the car. I still need to wipe off the vinyl and plastic surfaces with a lysol wipe or something, but the baking soda appears to be out of the carpet.
After work, I went and picked up a cheap portable AC unit. It is very unlikely I can get my heat pumps fixed before the next heat wave.
Last night was shopping night, and I still got that done, so I can head out tonight to grab another unit (one AC will not cool the house).
Today at lunch it was surprisingly nice out (it wasn't supposed to be), so I decided to get the first round of flooring cut for the CR-V. This is now good to go: I still need to cut smaller pieces and glue them to the underside to fix the unlevelness, but this was the first step. At this point I just need to build up the lower levels and glue them to the pieces that are now cut. I will tape these together too so it ends up as just a single
The car actually felt level while I was crawling around in the back, so it shouldn't matter where I put my head. It is nice to have the option.
I am not sure I will have this complete by the LAN this weekend, but at any rate there is enough there for me to sleep in it if needed. If I stay this motivated, I might have the conversion in there this weekend though.
