Trailer Trash and Treasure

Working on the travel trailer this weekend was full of surprises, the good kind.

Taking in a days worth of work.
Underneath the covers, the original burnt orange fabric, plaid, and vinyl was intact.
The burnt orange was a bit much to handle, the plaid turned to shreds with every touch, but the vinyl I actually liked.

It's decided - we are going to keep the vinyl and pair it with the micro suede to keep that 70's vibe that's true to the trailer with a much needed update

Removed some of the window rot and insullation.
Under the carpet was the original linoleum flooring in great condition with no soft spots.

With lots of scrubbing Scotty looked and smelt much better.  We put the work tent up to cover her while the exterior work happens.
All the interior electric works just fine.

When I went through and looked at the gas and electrical wiring (brake lights etc.), gas is fine, the electric to all the exterior lights need to be properly soldered ... someone thought to just cap off everything, yikes....under the bed no less.

Assessment of the window rot was a pleasant surprise, only that one window had a leak and the wood/frame surrounding need replacing!  Not bad. 

The bed frame is solid, but the boards that fold into a couch are warped and frayed, those we will be replacing too.

I cannot wait for next weekend, for the days to be longer and warmer so I can work on her.  Sitting at the table with a Snapple- reflecting - I can picture many adventures and recounted adventures at this table.


Micro suede to replace the plaid and burnt orange.

Fixed the table

Work in progress.

  3. Based on my own experiences I am going to make five recommendations that I wish someone had made
    to me to help take the fear out of fitness. The reason this
    is important is because you will have a stronger knowledge
    base and bag of tricks to keep you going on the rougher days.
    What I tell my clients is that they need to schedule their
    fitness time like it's a doctor's appointment.

  5. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest to south will prevail over northern and Central Luzon and coastal
    waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. A person needs to have an active internet connection to be able to access all the headlines and information on internet.
    You can only visit once a day and there is no guarantee that you will get anything from it
    but as I always say, free is free.

  6. For normal delivery the mother should be fit to cope with the delivery.

    One last thing that isn't mandatory but recommended is to set up a Pay - Pal account to process your payments. Visit a Dermatologist: If you are facing any chronic skin problem like pimples, acne and blemishes then consult a doctor at first place before going to a beautician.
