Anyone want a partially restored Ambassador? Comes with an Internet radio show....
Today I was hoping to start on the fridge chimney. Mother nature had other ideas and has been sending downpours of rain the last three days with today being the worst.
I was meandering around the trailer scoping out the hole in the roof I need to make for the chimney collar when a drop of water hit my face. I was right under my new fantastic vent I installed. I pulled the trim peice off but cannot locate the minor but continuous drip.
Next I walked back to the rear and found the vanity counter top covered in water. I looked up and water was dripping from the top of the window frame. I driled out the aluminum window trim and water just poured out. So water is leaking in above the window frame somwhere. I can’t figure it out yet. The window has a rain gutter that I sealed the top long ago.
I ended up going out after dark in the rain and tied a tarp over the rear third of the trailer hoping that would help until I can figure it out. Later it really started coming down. So I went out with my flash light and when I opened the door there was about a foot puddle at the entrance ;-( So the front door is still leaking. You may remember I worked on that for days trying to get it to seal.
I looked around a found another small leak on a side window coming in the lower corner. And the last leak is a major one at the front which looks like its coming in from the original water hookup. I had pulled this loose and resealed it with vulkem but I guess it did not take. Or it may be leaking up higher like the rotor which I also resealed.
All this standing water is not good for my floating floor. So I’m not sure what the state of this will be after all this rain.
Just venting a little. I'll work through it. Just one of those downer days that comes with restoration
