whooooo! we're *technically* road ready!

stove is in, sink is in. old sink, new faucet . Comet does amazing things. floor is in, and Luna approves. Luna also approves of the placement of her 'den'. toilet is in.










things still to be done to FINISH the trailer:
fabricate cabinet doors and drawers
hook up all propane lines
wire in inverter
sew covers for cushions and sew curtains

almost done!

kitchen cabinets in, kitchen countertop in (its not anchored down yet in this photo, so don't worry about the funny angle its sitting at) bathroom countertop finished, but again, not anchored down. and the shower stall is almost finished (fought half the day with that stupid white stuff ... i'll finish it off later.

in all likelihood... carpet and tile will be going in tomorrow. hopefully.

Getting closer.....

just a little bit more cabinetry to go... got most of the curbside cabinets in today... despite hubby injuring himself.

also installed, hooked up, and tested a washer/dryer combo. gotta be prepared if ya run outta clean socks and underwear, ya know?

tomorrow the rest of the cabinets will go in. along with, hopefully, the stove and sink. horay!

The bathroom!

The bathroom is nearly finished. YAY! Very minor work left to be done on it. This is also my first time testing out the 'mobile posting' option. :-)

Land Yacht?

let no one say i don't have a sense of humor.

Airstreams are called land yachts. more recently the term is applied to their motor homes, but back in the '60s and '70s, their trailers were badged with the term. see?



well. i was talking with friends about pirates, and ships, and other such things, and this pic just popped into my head, demanding to be drawn. YARRR!!!!!

FINALLY all caught up!!!

yay! anyways, what happened so far in the month of July was: bed framing was finished, and electrical panels installed into them, walls started going up, and cabinets are being built and stained. the mini-dishwasher, fridge, and washer/dryer combo have gone in and are ready for use, and the dinette seats have been built.

we have a goal of leaving by August 6th to make it to CT by August 10th, for family birthdays. It is now the evening of July the 27th. We have 10 days. wish us luck!

Onward!

near the end of May we finally got all the electrical done... at which point it was time to start re-installing the inner shell! boy, that was a fun giant jigsaw puzzle to figure out! after it was all put back together, we taped everything off and hubby sprayed it down with a nice light fresh blue-green color.
next was some nifty ceiling lights modified from standard house lights, and some 'reading' lamps for the front, then all the plumbing started going in.
the beginning of June saw the addition of a new valve to control the exit of waste from the grey and black tanks, and a port to plug our power cord into. we also replaced the nasty old water inlet with a nice new one with a regulator and backflow preventer built in, and plumbed the system so that with the flip of one valve's handle, you could run off city water, or fill the tank. then the framing for the bed was started, with the fresh tank installed just behind it. which leads us up to the current month.
