Adventure!!!!!!

[sobospider]

Hi! First things first. Thanks to everyone here on airforums for all the pictures and advise, I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED!!!!!
Thru a totaly random and unantisapated series of events I have found myself in possesion of a 1960 or 61 26' (overlander?) that has been sitting behind my bosses' barn for 13 years. He had been using it as a hunting/fishing base camp untill the MOULD became overpowering. Mould from it being flooded out several years ago. YUCK! The interior was hopeless (MOLD! YUCK!!) But out side has only a minor dent on the front curbside corner and 2 cracked windows. My Dad assures me it will scrap for more then I bought it for, but I am in love. I want to grow old with this trailer (think:retirement home). I have almost boundless energy and inthusiasm to invest in this project. The *GROSS* interior is almost all out and I'm looking for new floor/new insulation advise.
Any one who would like to mentor a kid on this subject or has a project story to share PLEASE e-mail me.

Don't let that condition bother you.
You should look thru the photo archives here.....two projects come to mind.
Maybe some one here can direct you to the pics I mean....moss ,mold and mice....I might add in men too. You can't believe what some man made disasters look like. The finished results on many of these Airstreams is spectacular.

I am thinking that if there was visible mold, there is almost certainly
mold in places where you can't see. I am saving my pennies for an Ozone generator. Maybe you could do a forum search and/or an internet search
on this topic. Prices for Ozone generators suitable for disinfecting a trailer
average somewhere near $300- $500. Can I borrow yours ????? Dave
