A little more work done
Got ugly aluminum stove top tray removed. Of course it was nailed under the countertop. Had to loosen that up to pull the nails. Have now figured out how I will install new stove top. Will need to build a little box and top it with luan and same material using as backsplash. Have to wait until get new side and backsplash up. Too hot today to do more calculations, will do that another day. Got little side wall of kitchen varnished and rest of the one closet primed. Now to smelly in there to continue work inside trailer. Ice tea time. Bye

Reenergized!
Hi, Really making some progress lately. Have gotten 2 coats of varnish on front interior surfaces. Ceiling replacement panel stained and one coat of varnish. All interior window frames have at least one coat of paint. Floor still needs finish scraping and got some more of that done. Hope to reinstall benches this week. Working on one area until done seems to work for me. No longer feel overwhelmed.
Bye for now, weeding must be done.

Hi, Been a while. Kinda was feeling overwhelmed by what all that needs to be done. So haven't had much ambition to work on the trailer. But I did today and am so glad. Sanded front cabinet and walls and got a coat of varnish on them. Want to get that area done soon so dinette bench and shelf can go back in. Feels good to get something accomplished. Need to do one little thing or big thing a day and stick to it. Weather improvement should help that. Bye for today.

Spring weather has arrived early
Finally warm enough to get back to work. Got one of the closet doors resized. Stained ceiling panel. Stained trim. Really like my new multi-tool Ray bought for me. Great for sanding and cutting. Able to make trim piece bendable with it. Will be great for scraping tile goo off the floor. Got another window resealed and reinstalled. Think seal around movable window too thick will have to trim or use different seals.
