| Time involvement to gut a 1977 31' Sovereign
My wife and I are researching what we could potentially be getting into by purchasing an old, long-time-not-used 1977 Airstream Sovereign at an upcoming auction. Based on the advice we've received from another part of the forum, we're bracing for the worst. So, I've got it that we're signing up for some work. No biggy, we enjoy it. But what are we looking at TIME wise? For example, when you start to remove the kitchen cabinets...are they held in place with a few screws and after laying on my back or kneeling for 5 minutes with a cordless drill in hand will I be able to scoot things toward the door? Or am I looking at cussing and swearing for 2 hours as I search for the last hidden $#&^%@$%%%!!! screw or glued joint that is preventing me from getting things moving? For the whole trailer am I looking at a day to gut it? A weekend? A month of after-work evenings plus weekends?
Veterans of the overhaul, please speak your knowledge...
