Passed Inspection, But...

Last Friday, Jan got brave and took Bella down for re-inspection.  Thanks to Paul's hard work in the dark after he came home each night, she passed inspection!  Whew!!  One challenge down!

But.... on Saturday morning, when Jan went out to Bella she noticed it seemed like someone had tried to break into Bella's 'basement'.  Two locks were pushed in, the hinges were damaged and the paint was scraped.  [The basement is the storage area(s) under the 'house' part... the areas accessed from outside.]  On closer look, it was apparent that someone had side-swiped Bella, not broken in.  Since the only place she'd been was to the inspection station, it was likely that it happened there!  There was also yellow paint scrapings on the damaged areas.  Jan called the inspection place and left a message on their answering machine.
Poor Bella!  Just when we're trying to make her beautiful!
In the meantime, Jan had also made some calls about the propane tank and found that Diamond RV could replace the tank for about $1,000.  As we said, we knew we'd have to sink some money into her.

Monday's calendar was filling up - re-visit the inspection station, and go to Diamond RV to have the propane tank looked at so they could get the part numbers.
