Trailer Trash is here....




And she is a real mess! I started deconstruction immediately. As you can see she has some dryrot (not unexpected) so much so that the framing around the door is completely gone. So I need to reframe that area today so I can remove the door (need to make a new one). Trailer construction is so different from home construction, so flimsy! I want to make it like a house so I will have to hold back some....:D. I will add more insulation, as it will get really hot in there in the summer. I am tearing out almost all of the paneling as it is water damaged. So far the dry rot is not too bad. We shall see what I get into. I have opened up the ceiling area around the air vent and removed all the paneling there and no dry rot, I could not believe it! That is usually the worst spot. Well, off I go into never never land.....yes, I probably shouldn't have done this, as there will be no camping this summer(?). But maybe we are not having summer afterall. It was 90 last weekend but freezing last night....

  3. Oh, wow, rusty finds are always GOOD! Thanks so much, maybe when I get this trailer done I could bring her down and find a fun spot for an overnighter, maybe Michele, Amy, and you could join me for a cuppa joe. :D
