    I have had my airstream for about 2 years, had her polished last year and was all gung ho to get some basic interior work done this summer. Not going as planned...the economy has tanked...so has the income...love to hear about other projects to keep me motivated!

    We are just starting our renovation of our 65 safari. Exterior is an 8.5 out of 10 and the interior wood is a 10 of 10. We plan to replace all appliances, use custom corian counter tops with drop in burners. Carpet and of course polish, polish, polish and then Zip Dee awanings, does this ever end. Well for now I,m happy with staring on the interior. I will try to post some pics soon.

It has been weeks since we have worked on our work in progress Lack of money has brought our project to a halt We tried to put it in our barn a month ago, but it was about 6 inches too tall It now sits in the front driveway instead of the front yard, but I wish it would fit into the barn Thanks for reading my blog Have a nice day

Finally did a little work on our project this last weekend! Peeled away all the old caulking around the windows and replaced it. We had found a waterstain near a swollen copper pipe and wasn't sure if it was new or old. Well, it rained and it was new!! Rob helped out (shirtless) and got a heck of a sunburn in about 1 hour's time!! Who'd a-thunk?!? Anyways, we went to 3 car shows last weekend & the previous weekend, so the old AS project was on hold, but he promised me that we would work...

Saturday, we started to install the laminate wood floor and we are waiting for a small piece of vinyl/laminate to apparently fall from the sky... We missed the WBCCI Open House because we worked right through it. But we did take a break to take the kids to...

Last week, we were offered Grandpa's Airstream. It had been stored in a barn since 1977. My husband has been wanting to travel Route 66 in his '62 Chrysler 300, so we thought, sure!! Let's give it a look. I had never been in an Airstream and had not really seen one up close.
We travelled to the farm and pulled it out of the barn and I thought it was pretty nice, considering the 30 years of mouse nest and ??? The shell had clearcoat in good shape, no dings or dents, lots of original equipment....
