Looks good! Love the cake......wait, that's a cookie!??!

Thanks, Chris ! We miss you guys here at Springstream! The camper is working out GREAT for us. Still need to replace axles, build two tables, add backlighting for all the 3form, polish the outside (to a factory finish) and eat the Airstream cookie that Karen made. Just kidding, the cookie is long gone. It was delicious!

We are just living this Airstream. Camping at Harrison Bay State Park near Chattanooga this weekend.

[Skatiero]

That should have said "loving". Harrison Bay is a nice state park (TN) but we are up on a ridiculous number of blocks to get level!

[KAYAKAMPERS]

You guys are loving.....living in it. Looks great!

I love love love this thread, I'm not going to lie this is my fourth time to read it! We are in the beginning stages of renovating an 85 Excella, it is almost identical to yours! We will be working all summer to do the major renovations, take it for test drive in the fall, and come up with our game plan to finish. Thank you for documenting your journey, it is helpful to those of us newbees who really don't want to screw up anything too bad! Hope to see you on the road!

Donellkay, We live just a few miles from them, so we have witnessed the progress in person. The transformation is nothing short of amazing. Even these guys had some frustrating moments, but I know you will love yours when it is finished. Good luck and looking forward to seeing the progress too.

[Skatiero]

Thanks Donellkay and Chris! We are not camping as much as we wish right now with the kids' end-of-the-school year craziness. We still have some finishing work to do, but we are completely and thoroughly thrilled with the Airstream and how it's functioning for us!

[ALANSD]

talk about crazy! OUr schools are nuts too. ONly one more week of kids though, thankfully.
W r gonna do an extended weekend in Asheville in a few weeks, to unwind.

Could you tell me the flooring you use here? It looks like grip strip, but I've not seen that pattern.
Thanks!

It is Allure grip strip. It is called Edge Maple and we love it!

We are having such a blast in our Airstream. This week we are camping at a nearby lake with our seven kids and one of their friends-- and have plenty if room for everyone! Here's how we entertained ourselves when it was storming;

[ALANSD]

what no gutter guards? Hope you are having fun.. This is a cool photo

I recommended you to a friend wanting to buy a larger Airstream and add bunks and such.

[Skatiero]

Thanks, Alan!

Come see us at McKinney! The kids have been in the water all day-- it's a beautiful spot on the lake. We love this Airstream-- we are looking for a little one for the trips when it's just the two of us and there's no bowling alley required-- let us know if you come across anyone selling an old one which needs a lot of work.

Someone needs Bunks? I think we can help!

[ALANSD]

Enjoy McKinney...we are headed up to Asheville next week. Can't wait!

[KAYAKAMPERS]

You should invite Jeffery Lebowski, Walter and The Jesus to your next campout.....bowling trip.

[Skatiero]

Well, we are definitely inviting Jesus!

[ALANSD]

yes he is always welcome for sure, especially when we travel

That is amazing! Your AS looks wonderful! Can't wait to meet up with you guys. We are adjusting to five in 25' and need to add a bunk. I love the bowling idea!
