We've reached a point in the project where, even if our
planned tasks for the weekend can't get done because we lack skills/supplies/patience (a common occurrence) we can still find
plenty of things to do to fill the day.
We've also reached a point where the novelty of all this work is wearing down and we're just ready to get camping already! I've developed a new admiration for untouched vintage trailers, and got a little nostalgic about the previous condition of ours. Maybe we should have done a
light remodel instead of a full reno?
Um, no. I'm right back on board with the whole project when I dig around the garage for an old piece of ensolite and get to see our before/after:
Gross!
Yep, even if the only thing we accomplish is cleaning the heck out of everything and slapping on a fresh coat of
paint, the
after is definitely shaping up to be worth the work. And boy, is it clean right now:
Water tank installation is next, then we'll put the modules back in and have a chance to do some fun stuff – arranging the hook-ups, plumbing, vents,
lights, and audio/visual gadgets – before we can no longer avoid the
electrical wiring. We're now toying with the idea of taking it to someone who actually knows what they're doing. We'll see.
I need to post later on the lessons learned from our exterior
paint endeavor, but there are some glimpses of the final coat in our Flickr photos linked below.
