The drape material

And now for something entirely different...

Here is my new horse trailer which does not need any renovations...thanks be to God!

And a Few More Views

I didn't actually have to do anything to the Bathroom, and the fride was in good shape s I just replaced the front panel and used a little bit of aluminum paint on the rust ant the bottom. while I was at it I freshened up the paint on the furnace just below it. I'll also include a picture of the material I have for the drapes.

And Here's More...

Note the big HOLE under the stove...

Here She Is

This is the cupboard for fixing...I want a shelf that slides out onder the stove and a door with a spice rack under the sink.

I have already bought a magnetic spice rackwhich is sitting on the cutting board over the sink in this picture.

Need Help!!!

Well ot the most of it done. I was really happy with the floor which I did with directions from Dan...thanks a million! I just have one cupboard door to put back on and the drapes to manufacture and I will be dragging her down to Vancouver to get Elvis...the famous Elvis of "Elvis on the Move" to construct me a bottom kitchen cabinet.
The other slight reno is to re fiberglass the holding tank which leaks ...probably from a stone as it is exposed to the road. I am also thinking of getting electric brakes installed but that can wait.

ripped

I 've been ripping her down and it sure is a time comsuming task. Friday I'm going to look for flooring and some magic crack filler. I thought I would leave the wood work as is but it is definately too beat up so will apply the "Melamine" paint throughout for a new plastic look.

Now to the Heart of the Problem

All Ready for a Reno




Kitchen Cupboards...
Total Recall!!!











Water damage from leak around the vent.








Floor should present some major engineering problems!!




Doesn't look too bad overall which was a major reason I bought it...wanted it to go on a road trip with Ethan and Aya this summer.



The closet is good and the door works!



Nice padded seat!!!




The bathroom is not much used and in great condition, ready for a good cleaning...there is some glue residue from various stick on hangers that will have to come off the walls.



Overhead storage cabinets...maybe just some glue and a darn good polishing








THE CREW????
Where's Richard?









THE PLAN
1. The floor.
-I'm not too sure we can get the stick on tiles off without a major fight, so I hope that some underlay and a cork floor can be laid.
2. The kitchen cabinet.
- What's to say...it is just a mess. Hope this part will show off Richard's cabinetry skills. There was water damage to the top cupboard and the cabinets are covered in some sort of vinyl that is impossible to refinish.
3. Other cabinets.
- The first thing I am going to try is a bit of glue on the edges that are coming away and a THOROUGH CLEANING with "Armoural". I don't want to change too much of that 70's ambience as I think I will replace the existing curtains with Merimekko print.
4. Bathroom and Fridg actually look like they just need a real good cleaning. The padded seat on the marine toilet is like new.
5. Stove
- The cover is worn but may leave it with just a good polishing as it is a bright blue that would not be easily replaceable.

Bringing baby home

Thought I should include the epic trip home on December 31th, 2007. I was pretty excited and thankfully it warmed up for the trip. I've made it to the rest stop before Lee's corner and stopped to check the hitch...notice how even it sits on the truck...that was just a neat little bonus!

Lizzie's Boler Home

Well, it was finally warm enough yeserday to inspire me to go and rip out the three layers of lino from the 1979 Boler trailer I bought at Christmas. While I was at it I also removed the front Gaucho and am looking reluctantly at the kitchen area as well. All the appliancs work but...oh my, the carpentry that has occurred over the last thiry years of this RV's existence is just "Gawd Awful." Guess I'll assess the real extent of the reno tomorrow and compile a list. 19/03/08
