This weekend in the life of the trailer...

First tragedy of the trailer...we were putting the main 2 X 8 X 7 ft back end piece up and I let go of it to reach for something to clamp it with and it pivoted and fell on my forearm & wrist. Needless to say, we were done for the day. Damnit! I really wanted to finish the back end yesterday.


 



This is the piece that fell on my arm.  That damned thing is screwed, nailed and strapped down so it will never try to kill anyone again!

We worked on the back end of the trailer to get it stabilized.  Then we went around the entire trailer inside and out and put hurricane straps where needed.  We were totally amazed at the amount of knot holes that were left to fall apart.  We still have to remove the curb and street sides two top pieces of rotten wood and replace them.  Of course, I have to work open to close for the next two days, so no work on the trailer until Friday night.  Cynthia gets a reprieve for two days.  My guess is she will mow and water the yards!  She truly loves her riding lawn mower! 

We had the entire backyard covered in "inside" trailer parts & pieces.  Cabinets, doors, drawers, beds...etc.  We primed them about a week ago.  So, we put the first of two coats on this weekend.  And, because the weather looks like it "could" rain - we put everything back into the garage.  :(

Here are the latest pics:

She's really not getting prettier yet.

Look at that beautiful floor.

The ceiling ok, part of the ceiling.

We're smiling because if we don't laugh, we'll run screaming through the streets!  lol
