It has been weeks since we have worked on our work in progress Lack of money has brought our project to a halt We tried to put it in our barn a month ago, but it was about 6 inches too tall It now sits in the front driveway instead of the front yard, but I wish it would fit into the barn Thanks for reading my blog Have a nice day

Finally did a little work on our project this last weekend! Peeled away all the old caulking around the windows and replaced it. We had found a waterstain near a swollen copper pipe and wasn't sure if it was new or old. Well, it rained and it was new!! Rob helped out (shirtless) and got a heck of a sunburn in about 1 hour's time!! Who'd a-thunk?!? Anyways, we went to 3 car shows last weekend & the previous weekend, so the old AS project was on hold, but he promised me that we would work...

Alright, so now we've had this for 1 week and 1 day! We have removed the gaucho frames, the couch frame, the original tile floor and cleaned up after that. It still smells! I guess 30 years of storage will not remove itself over night!
Saturday, we started to install the laminate wood floor and we are waiting for a small piece of vinyl/laminate to apparently fall from the sky... We missed the WBCCI Open House because we worked right through it. But we did take a break to take the kids to...

Last week, we were offered Grandpa's Airstream. It had been stored in a barn since 1977. My husband has been wanting to travel Route 66 in his '62 Chrysler 300, so we thought, sure!! Let's give it a look. I had never been in an Airstream and had not really seen one up close.
We travelled to the farm and pulled it out of the barn and I thought it was pretty nice, considering the 30 years of mouse nest and ??? The shell had clearcoat in good shape, no dings or dents, lots of original equipment....
