Well, they were getting ready to leave this morning and Joyce volunteered to dog sit while Frank went to the office to pay his bill. We will miss the two pups.

Joyce Has Puppy Withdrawal
Our neighbor across the street has a couple of dogs. The black one is a 12 week old standard poodle and the other little guy is a 8 year old mix terrier. Joyce would occasionally dog nap the two so she could get her fix.
Well, they were getting ready to leave this morning and Joyce volunteered to dog sit while Frank went to the office to pay his bill. We will miss the two pups.

Express Bay
It's 6:50 am and we are heading for bay # 10 to get our stuff done. Some people have already beat us for the line up. We all pull up to our assigned doors and at 7:00 am the doors open.
That's our neighbor that Joyce is talking to, they happened to be the bay next to us having some windows replaced.
We had lost power to our rear view mirrors and the mechanics worked about an hour and a half before finding the problem. One of the wire connectors on the switch had a bad connection. We also had to have a light switch replace and a slide topper centered. Now we have to wait to get some areas of the paint buffed to remove what looks to be polishing compound.
To give you an idea of the turn around here, there has been over one hundred coaches serviced since Monday of this week. The reason for the heavy flow is a lot of snowbirds are stopping in on their way to Florida.

Surprise Visit
We had a surprise visit tonight from Kenn Shotts who stopped in to say hi!
Kenn is the gentleman that was nice enough to take the time to take pictures of our coach during the build. Thanks again Kenn and we still owe you and your wife dinner. It was great to finally meet Kenn but after he left I was kicking myself because I forgot to get a picture of his visit here. I do that all the time, always remember after!
Joyce and I have been taking pictures of a coach build for another couple that couldn't be here to see their coach being built. We were happy to have the opportunity to be able to do for someone else what Kenn did for us, "Pass It On".
We were notified that we are next in line for service and have to be at bay #10 at 7am. It's quite a sight when you see all the motorhomes lined up at 7am waiting for the doors to open.

Still Here In Red Bay
We had been on the tour of the assembly area last year but never toured he paint shop so off we went.
The motorhomes start off in this area where they are sanded prior to the base coat being applied The line of motorhomes was so long that workers were working outside. Tiffin has gradually been increasing production and are in the process of hiring back workers plus new people.
After the coach is sanded to a perfect consistency, it goes to the first booth for the base primer coat.
Out of the first booth, the workers are waiting to apply the masking for the finish design. Click on the video to see the masking process.
The coach then moves into the next booth for the next color. Then remask and apply the next color.
This continues until all the colors are applied. Then the final step is to apply the clear coat which give the paint depth and shine.
This short video is the area at the end of the line where the paint is inspected and any defects are marked for repair.
