........the rear end on this is now worthy of a wolf whistle!
All of the rotted wood has been ripped out and replaced with new lumber. I had to build frames on the inside walls for the tail lights, the screws for those were just hanging in there on the metal and anchored to nothing but that. The original wood pieces had long since crumbled away. They are now secure and the wiring for them has been organized and clipped for easy access from the outside if needed.
Here's…

I'm at the other corner now, on the drivers side. Would you believe I still pulled out..or rather crumbled out wet 2x2's today?? It's hard to see, but I am now replacing the 2x2 supports on that side. I already have one running the full length of the back and that went into there in one piece. Wasn't easy, but I did not want to have to cut it in half. I wanted a secure support along that back…

First off, she's very hard to see...but I have a Mommy White tail out here every morning with her tiny babe across the pond. It's so cute to watch while it goes jumping in and out of the water and playing: (I swear, Mommy can spot me before I even get the door open to get a picture. LOL)
Last year I had a doe here that clearly had just given birth, and apparently…

"Woo Hoooo!! Yeah, Man! whistle!..."
{{audience applauds and cheers}}
Yeah, I took the shelf/floor out of the closet. That was a most difficult task, I think the only way that could have been installed was by children who could crawl into a crowded 15" space. There are laws against child labor! And, of course, the very last screw in the very back where I had to contort myself and hold my breath to reach...was stripped. Sliced my elbow, (this is where the swearing commenced) but…

......COYOTE UGLY!
It wasn't bad enough that the bathroom toilet had not been "cleaned" before getting stored in the woods and weather, but I discovered the other day that the dark water had not been drained. That had sat in there for a minimum of three years, and I'm thinking closer to 5. I dealt with that.
Today, I took on trying to get some support under the shower floor so I could repair the crack. There is no support under the center of that unit. When…

I have spent so much time on the cab over area, I lost track. Literally full days. LOL
One of my problems on that was the floor of the cab over. It is very thick plywood, probably 1 1/2"...not sure. It is screwed into the bottom from underneath and I had no way of getting to the screws to remove that whole floor without tearing apart things in the truck area that I had no intention of doing.
So I opted to cut out the areas that were severely water damaged. Each…
ContinueI think I finally have the corners of the cab over almost done. This has been a pain in the royal arse for sure. No fun.....but I'm nearing the end.
Dad called me at 7:00 a.m. and said "you gotta see what I got". So, I drove over there late morning and find that he has another travel trailer to restore. I just knew it before I even got there. I knew the bug would hit him when I started mine. ;-)
It's a 1977 Layton. Tires are in great shape, and for as old as…

Today was set aside for Diggity Dodge day. Yesterday I did a little cutting and fitting of some final roof support pieces....that's about it. The rest of the day was targeted for fixing a truck headlight wiring issue, and cleaning junk out of the basement to get ready for hauling away. Then some house cleaning.
First off today, I repaired the corner mold and hole on the outside. I cut the corner piece of the molding off so it would sit flat and not be stopped by that screw…
