Well, after sitting for more than a year as sort of a storage shed, work has begun again!
When last we left our hero, we were working on replacing the
tail lights with the original tophat style ones. This led us to discover 2 things. One: the wiring in the trailer was...... interesting, and Two: the upper floor section was rotten around the edges. We had intended at that time to get another sheet of plywood and start on it right away, but that didn't happen for one reason and another.
We were leaning towards taking the rat fur out before, but the wiring "repairs" that had been made at some point made the decision easier, since all that stuff is underneath the wall covering. So over the last couple of weeks, we got the materials for doing the floor section, cut the original one into 2 pieces and got it out of the trailer after a small nightmare with the screws
. between those and the
fiberglass tabs that were holding the shell to it, we were able to make a pretty decent template.
I also started tracing\diagramming all the wacky wires to see where everything went, which was a lot of fun. Got all the cabinets removed and the rat fur is now gone from everything but the inside of the door.
Today, the upper floor section finally went in! Still have to redo the shell attachment, but the hard part is done at least
Hopefully updates will continue regularly. If not, someone should come and
us.
