Restoration Corporate Sponsorship

I would just like to thank the good folks at DeWalt, Glen Livet, and Shiner Bock for there undying dedication and positive influence during the kick-off phase of this project.

On another note.....found a couple things I'm not sure what they are. I assume the large disk is a pad for either the tounge jack or a stabilizer jack. Not sure what the other is. And what is the 2 headed snake ? Some sort of circuit tester for the frige ??

The other side...

Posted 08-24-2009 at 12:06 AM by Bowmans (This blog shows our renovation of a 1979 Sovereign 31' center bath AS)

Well, we continued on our polishing of the other half of the Airstream last week. We have the roadside and rear end to complete. The roof is polished and we got almost all clearcoat stripped from what is left to polish. The roadside is about 2/3's polished as well. The picture below was taken before the upper portion was polished all the way to the rear endcap.

My front window frame has come apart. Does anyone know how or where to fix this. It looks like they were soldered.

Still working on the 79 International

Posted 08-15-2009 at 07:36 PM by Dakota's Mom

Work continues . . .

I pulled out more carpet and pad staples today (it was screamin' hot!) and we're trying to get psyched up to cut the floor in the rear sleeping area so we can start the shell-on subfloor replacement.

DH got new propane tanks and has modified the old mounts so they fit.

He removed the screen door to replace its screen and clean it up, so now all screens have been replaced.

Washed most of the trailer this week, too - I say...

The Groundwork

When I acquired my motor home I had it in mind that this would serve as a mobile office as well as a living space so I knew that I'd be building my own custom cabinets/desk for the work space. I would have to consider carefully what type of floor plan would best suit my needs.

My second consideration was based upon the fact that I love to cook gourmet meals and the kitchen area here just didn’t have enough counter space to accommodate preparation...
