Trailer Cam

I love being able to pop in and look inside our trailer.  I know it's weird.  A few things I really like about the indoor camera:
1. Alerts to my phone if someone has entered
2. It has a temperature sensor, which you can also set alerts to (it is currently 64 degs in there :)
3. I can talk to an intruder if I really wanted to through it
4. I can peek in anytime :)

We bought our trailer nearly two years ago and have been slowly getting it ready to take out.  Last year we had two or three instances when the door was open.  Neither of us are sure how that happened, but we decided to put a camera inside so we could be alerted if it happened again.  Considering my car was stolen in January, and I have had people also break into my cars in the past, it seemed proactive in today's world to set up a camera.  I do get alerts, most of time it is because of wind and sun shadows from a neighbor's tree or when Kevin or I enter it.  So far we haven't had any "bad guys" caught or attempting to enter.



I took off the wallpaper strip a couple of weeks ago... it reminds me of the 90's, it had to go.  You can see one section in the above pic, it went all the way around the inside, and had a torn section near the front.  It had to go.  What's funny is that no one noticed I even removed it, and I had to point it out to Kevin!  He was afraid of what I'd find once I started taking it off (like being more of a project than just removing), so I did it when he was busy elsewhere.  Two weekends went by before I pointed it out! :)   It came off nicely, only a few spots needed some adhesive removal help. 

I put up some small quilts to make it feel more like home, and it does feel more inviting.  I used Command Strips for posters, and they are still doing great.  If I wanted them off, it would be a simple task without any damage to the quilts.  I'd like to do an upholstery update as well (including the window valances).  I have been checking out pinterest ideas for updates and all thing trailer, it is easy to get overwhelmed with ideas.  I don't want to paint (though I have seen some great updates in that regard), so it will be simple changes for us.  Kevin also took off the devil head bottle opener you can sort of see on the front corner cabinet.  Good vibes only, please!

Ideally, I'd love to be able to take it out about once a month, but with Kevin's work travel starting to ramp up, I am not sure that will be possible.  Even if we can find a spot for a quick weekend away, I'd love that!



That wood thing on the left? Kevin made a homemade HD antenna, it works really well.

Our maiden voyage will be over the weekend with my brother and sis-in-law.  And.... our weather is forecasting rain--ABOVE-AVERAGE-for-May-RAIN this week.  Sigh.  After an 80+degree week we had last week with lots of sun, it kind of figures.  Hopefully it will just be that morning misty stuff and that's all.

My project I am planning to bring is my Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt which has been on hiatus again.
