Thanks for the tip. We actually have it strapped with freight lines to stakes in the ground on one side and a vehicle on the other. We did that right after the last picture was taken. We don't want any accidents!
Thanks for the tip, though, we might have spaced on that. Thanks for keeping us grounded!

Sorry, I think somewhere tropical is in order!
(Besides, my sister is already in line with a project on her Scamp!)

It's great to see all this progress!
Take advantage of these warm, Northwest, Indian-summer days while you can. We all know what the weather is soon going to be in our neck of the woods. I know you get that weather first, then send it our way!

We could use the rain right now, but I'm not looking forward to it! And it's usually snow by the time it reaches you!

Welding and POR-15 complete
Trixie is back from the welder with 3 new cross-members, a new outrigger, and a reinforced drop-step. I just completed the second coat of POR-15 and am TIRED but really excited.

Sweet work. You need to give that dad extra hugs!!!
It's so cool to take something that others have given up on and put it right again. Even cooler that it was your family's to begin with.

Always! Once he starts on a project you just cannot stop him. And have I mentioned the man is 81 years old?

New floor decking is complete!
We started Saturday morning and finished this afternoon. Special thanks to big brother Paul and big sister Janice. We used 3/4" exterior grade plywood from our local lumberyard, Gerretsen's Building Supply and coated the underside and all edges with Thompson's water seal. (We didn't finish the top side because we wanted to be sure the vinyl adhesive would stick firmly.) Next up will be fitting foamboard insulation on the underside. A big milestone reached but still LOTS to do!

The Eagle has landed
The shell was back on by dark last night. Here's the last daylight picture. Will post more pics soon!

Did any of the rain we've had over the last few days (in the PNW) affect you and the floor project? Or, were you able to get the floor project complete before the rains came? We're getting a good shower as I type this - and it all starts over there, west of you!

We beat the rain...but just barely. It has poured off and on the last couple of days. Much needed rain, but it will slow progress on getting all of the riveting done!

Looking like a real trailer again!
We've been busy the last few weeks. Windows are back in place, skylight has been repaired, lots of sealing along seams and around windows. Next up will be wiring and replacing the marker lights and tail lights. Then we can put the interior panels back in place.
It's starting to look like something I can camp in again!

Spring is Here!
Finally getting some warm dry weather, so it's back to work! We un-shrouded her yesterday and Dad has already been hard at work fine-tuning some rivet rumples he wasn't happy with. All smooth and pretty now!
We're tied up with out of town event most of May, but we hope to hit it hard in early June so I can take her out Fourth of July weekend for "roughing it" camping. Fingers crossed!

Lights, camera, action!
We have lights!
Exterior lights are installed! Marker lights and tail lights are ready to go, just waiting for a new license plate light to arrive.
Next up will be snaking new wiring for all the interior light fixtures...the mice made a real mess of the old stuff...
Once that's done we can replace the insulation and lower interior panels, patch the water heater hole, and put a couple of new window screens in so I can take it camping the first weekend in July. It won't have an interior yet, but I can sleep on the bare floor!
After that we'll start reconstructing the interior.
