Piddle round do'n nuttin

Well I want you lookie here, we got some cooler weather headed this way.....mid 90's. But not today.

I spent bout a hour yesterday, sit'n out there in the shade. In the shade, it was into the lower 100's again. What the hell???? I weren't do'n nuttin important what I couldn't do inside in the air conditioned comfort of "da house", so's I go back inside. Do me up a little housework, an' when I say little, that what I'm talk'n bout. Picked up Sadie Mae's dishes she left lay'n on the floor, sweeped the floor an' loaded up a big ol' bag of trash. Dishes patiently await my attention in the sink this morn'n.

Have ya ever look for a recliner what will fit through a 24 inches door opening? There's a lot to be considered when you're think'n of put'n a big ol' chushy piece of furniture in a RV. The most important consideration is "will it fit through the door"? In my case, it will have to be a wall hugger and the ability to swivel.....and fit through the door.
This is kind of what I got in mind....in a wall hugger model. Gotta be a wall hugger!


Or something like this....
This is comfort with a $900 price tag....ouch!!!!

My other alternative to a recliner is to "fix" the couch.

Ya see, when I had the couch reupholstered, I didn't have the guy replace the foam.....what is wore slap out from "pesky neighbor" Wayne's fat ass sit'n on it 14 times a day. Wayne is just a mite on the  heavy side ya know. My skinny ass sags down to the spring thingys....very uncomfortable an' that makes my back hurt. *I'm sit'n here look'n at that couch* "I can fix that". But I would much rather have a nice pretty "cushy" comfortable recliner sit'n over there. Any RV's read'n this, what kind (brand an' stuff) of recliner do you have?

Remember that propane tank I was tell ya bout what's empty? Well, it's still empty....no Weber grill'n in a week. I'm need'n some essentials, bread, milk, donuts...stuff like that. Maybe I'll go get me some propane. Grill me up a big juicy steak for supper tonight.

Well, I cain't say much for my exercise program. I had to stop the back exercises 'cause of the pain afterwords. That pain has subsided some since I quit. I'm still do'n the arm exercises with that rubber band stretch thingy, but my muscles are still hang'n off the bottom my arms. I'm think'n if'n I keep this up I can take Gypsy in a arm rassle contest. She challenge me ya know.

Speak'n of Gypsy, On the Road Again. That old gal has got her some spunk to drive all the way across the US sleep'n in a little "pup" tent. She's my age ya know, so why am I sit'n here "do'n nuttin"?

And just for OFM Barney, here a pic of the solar panel.


 It measures 31 1/2 inches X 42 1/2 inches.

  1. That second recliner looks a lot more comfortable. I have one like that except it's not a wall hugger.
    Got any big windows? lololo. Just in case the door won't work.

  2. Just buy another topper and use it on the couch.

  3. I bet that recliner base comes off easy for going through doors.

    1. And with the chair stretched out into s recliner it might not be much more than the width of the arm rest (top to bottom).

      Have it delivered & tell them the door is just 24" wide, they can take it back if they can't get it in....

  5. I think they put the funiture into the RV's before they put the roof and wall in place. I can't see how I could get the stuff out of mine without cutting them in pieces. . .

    1. DD, they take the windshield out to move the big items in and out like refrigerators.

  6. Most of the RV furniture like couch and sleeper the back will slide out and then it will fit thru the door. Were looking at new recliners for our 5er ones that go out from the wall and you could nap on. I think DW found a pair from Flex-steel but don't know model number off hand.

  7. I brought my weights along with me so's I could keep in shape but I haven't used them yet. Dang, you could probably beat me right now, but I'm going to start working out again!

  9. My son has the first chair and it's pretty stiff. Not real comfortable. The back comes off most upholstered recliners. I don't know if that would help getting it through an RV door.
