Here it starts! Rennovation of our new to us 1976 Airstream Argosy 24'.

Pretty exhausted for now, but thought I'd post two links to our demo day one and two. First day was removing the subfloor (camera battery died not halfway) and then today was interior panel removal day.

Will try to post more about the progress soon.
