Down to the Frame

Well, I should be careful what I wish for.... we worked our tails off this weekend and made it to my goal that I had in mind. Thank you Steve for spending the entire weekend on the project! Now, we have to figure out how to start putting it back together.... First thing Saturday morning my mom came down for a visit...as you can see it didn't take me long to find something for her to do! She drew out the existing structure of both the front and back. I know that will come in handy real soon.

Next we took off the sides and that went pretty well. Next were the ends. Now that was a little scary. Rebecca and I were holding it while Steve started removing the bottom board... well it all came crashing down. Everyone was fine, but I didn't invision that happening!

Now everything is dismantled and in the driveway... yikes! No turning back now. Here is the floor, the sides, and the roof... this was quite an undertaking to get this far, so I can only imagine what lies ahead.

Next is the grinding and sanding and painting of the trailer. I bought some expensive gator something or another from the auto store but we found an undercoating already on there... so we went with the spray can method from Lowes and painted the trailer. I hope it works!

Right now it looks purdy... the white hitch is going to look great and we are hoping to paint the tank aqua like the stripe on her... so now the rebuild begins. We are out of town next weekend, so there is always the next...

On a last note, we went to the RV store and priced ac's. No go on the AC and we bought a fan instead. I just couldn't justify it. So we will not be camping in this thing in the summer here in Texas. Until next time...
