So far this week

Hi,  Ray was a big help this weekend.  Got rear metal retacked for me, and removed kitchen upper cabinet so application of new ceiling panel will be easier.  I got the bottom off and new one cut for that cabinet.  Did some wood putty patching on edge of ceiling panel that is staying put.  Still trying to decide on flooring, linoleum or vinyl.  Bye for today and probably rest of the week.

Back window out

Hi, Wow had to remove rear windows to properly replace wood under and at the sides of them.  Glad I did, no caulk at all!  The people who removed them previously to paint them put them back up without caulk or new gaskets.  Old gaskets are hard and nearly brittle. Now rest of new wood in place.  Need to polish window frames before resetting them.  They actually do polish up with buffing wheel attached to a drill.  Ray set it up for me to try on another little window and stuff flew all over.  Need a box to contain it all or hope for sunny days to do it out in the driveway.  Another statisfying afternoon. Pooped.  Bye bye.

Great day!

Hi,  Yesterday and today got most of new frame work wood in place.  Need to get one more 2x2 to finish.   Yippee!  So satisfying.  Trailer never had much of a musty smell but now cannot smell any.  As soon as wiring is redone can put up new birch panels where ruined ones were removed.  Very glad could leave some much of it up. 
Also yesterday the awning rail and one of two under cabinet lights that may use arrived.  Can not believe how far this project has gotten in less than a month.  Still fun even though it's sometimes hard work. Bye Bye.

The Goo is Gone

Hi,  Got a lot done this weekend, but not all I had hoped.  Friday second cushion done. Yesterday more scraping and chipping stuff off roof.  Removed half of left side exterior trim.  Today got all the goo off of trim piece, removed left rear siding panel and the rotted wood from that corner.  Took measurements.  We went to store for supplies.  Got replacement wood, paint for any exterior touch up (had to be custom mixed), paint for interior window trim and fan grill, and undercoat spray paint.  Another nice day again tomorrow, will see how far I can get.  Trying to get as much done as I can before the bitter cold arrives.  Bye Bye

OH OH Water on the roof

Scary site yesterday.  Big puddle on top of trailer even though it's under trailer port.  High winds blew the rain inside.  Used a mop to sop it up.  Back left corner wet inside again, had dried out from rainy trip the day we brought it home.  Sunny today.  Ray will help me get this roof waterproof this weekend.  Hope to get all wet and rotted wood out of rear area too.  Maybe even get new wood in there too.  Bye for now lots to do today.

One Cushion Down...

Hi,  Got fabric for cushions today.  Color in the print matches counter top.  Made the first cover, 3 more to go.  Looking good.
Yesterday got 2nd bench sanded and primer applied.
Ray has determined the fridge works in electric mode.  Cannot test gas mode until gas lines are up and working for the whole trailer.  May paint the bench this evening.  Then again maybe not.   Bye for today.

Scraping

Hi,  Friday and Monday up a ladder scrapping and chipping old roof patching off the roof edges.  No wonder it leaked.  Stuff rock solid cracking and flaking then had layers and layers on top also cracking.  One side done and started on other.  Have to get to old hole patch in middle of roof. 
Ordered a awning rail from Amazon yesterday.  Already shipped.  Also under cabinet lights.
Deconstructed the bench cushions.  Measured pieces to calculate amount of new fabric needed.  They are springs wrapped in thick kapok.
Shopping trip to old hardware store in search of hinges for the benches that match old ones.  Also go to antique mall looking for wall lighting, and whatever may be fun to add.  Then fabric shopping.  Making the most of a cold rainy day.  Bye Bye.
