The Fun Begins at Buddy Gregg's Shop

The trip from Hendersonville to Knoxville over the mountains was uneventful (it's about time). We got there at 4:45pm and Scott, the Body Shop Manager, called my name and greeted me from across the fence line between when we had parked and where the body shop was. He had remembered me from work he had done for us when we first bought this coach here. I was glad to see a familiar face.

The service writer come over and looked at the situation after Peg sought him out. He made notes of the damage and then went back to get us in the "cue" for the next day. We originally had thought about coming here tomorrow, Thursday, but we are glad we made the trip on Wednesday so we would be ready for the morning.

When Thursday morning rolled around, Scott and his crew were busy getting the damaged doors and panels off the coach and then using a plastic wrap, waterproofed the basement since it had been raining since we left Hendersonville. They have a company that makes the "skins" locally. Skins are the outer aluminum door coverings that you see painted on a motorhome. The frames for the doors need to be made and the water heater surround had to be ordered along with the door. Our representative from Progressive Insurance also called and wanted to tell us he would stop by at some point today.

Our friend Roy and dog Snert drove down from Virginia to spend the day with us. It was nice seeing both of them again. We had a lot of good conversation, went to lunch and finally Peg made dinner for us all before Roy and Snert headed home. It was a long day, but it was nice to visit with a good RVing friend.
