CR-V getting close

It was rather toasty Thursday, but thankfully my house didn't heat up too much.  

 

I worked from home on Friday, so I had some time while on breaks to make the modifications required to the sleeping platform.   

 

Friday after work unfortunately it had started raining.  And it rained all day Saturday too.  I did catch one small break in the rain in the afternoon and decided to test fit the buildout.  

 

It unfortunately didn't fit the way that I originally planned.  Guess I should have tested it a bit better, or at all.  

 

After that it started raining again, so I waited until Sunday (Happy Father's Day Dad!) to make all the modifications needed.  They didn't take too long.  

 

It is a tight fit, but it fits.  It still needs sanding so it doesn't tear up the inside of the CR-V.

 

After that I turned my attention to the backyard and excavator.  I got the tarp that failed to cover the excavator for the winter removed.  It was full of critters so I will roll it up and throw it away later.

 

I got the back yard mowed.  The taller stuff in the back was up to the seat of the excavator.  I literally had to go over everything twice, and the thicker spots three times.

 

I got all the way back to the steps mowed.

 

I was pretty tired at that point since it was so tall the self propelling on the mower was useless.  I did get the front portion of the sleeping platform cut though.  

 

In case I needed to go in today, I got everything put in the CR-V needed to finish it up so I can finish it up at work if needed.

 

I then started to pull the battery out of the excavator, but was running out of daylight at this point.
