What went wrong the first day: I opened the closet to find all the clothes on the floor. The center support for the rod had come loose and the whole rod and clothing came tumbling down. When Will got around to fixing it (we won't say how many days later), he discovered the rod was bent and unusable. Fortunately, we had plenty of empty cupboards and drawers in the bedroom of this awesome RV. Will issued an edict that we would fold the clothes and place them in these storage areas until he gets what he needs to fix the closet. He started on his clothes first.
When I heard his loud guffaws, I went back to see what was so funny. He couldn't believe how many t-shirts he had in that closet! He keeps old ones with frayed collars in here for camping alone, but of course brings newer shirts for camping with the public! He has way more clothes in here than I do! He said it looks like he is a clothes hoarder, but he just can’t throw those shirts away! “Maybe we can find someone who needs paint shirts,” he said. "They’d have to be big people," says I. He said he has a lot of duplicate colors, but there a strategy behind it. That way no one knows if he changed his shirt. "No," said I, "actually that way no one thinks you ever change your shirt!"
I did laundry yesterday, and when I added the clean t-shirts to the stack of rolled up shirts in his cabinet, I counted them - 21! And that's not including the button-down shirts, (both short sleeve and long sleeve), the rain gear, the heavy winter gear, and various other jackets and miscellaneous he had hanging in the closet! It's no wonder the poor rod bent beneath it's load!
Will the clothes horse - who would have thought it? Here he is last weekend at his cousin's place, trying very hard not to wear out one of his nice new t-shirts.
