Gutting Day!

Thank you to everyone who showed up in the cold and the rain to gut the camper. The good news is all of the pieces parts we put on the tree lawn were gone by sundown, that goodness for scrap metal.


(the kitchenette all pulled out, tree lawn bound)

She looks awesome, a blank canvas, ready for her makeover for sure.

Thanks to Sasha and Eric for doing most of the dirty work, thanks to Ben & Ben for assembling the new grille so we could barbeque in the garage and thanks to all those who stopped by to see the progress on the camper!


(Sasha drilling out tons of rivets!)

Most of all thanks to Amelia for being such a great sport and letting me work on the project of a lifetime! My dear, oh-dear Amelia. I hope you don't feel too violated having all those strangers come and rip your insides apart. You are about to have a total beauty makeover and for that you should be psyched!

Happy makeover!

Making her Debut

Amelia got all cleaned and dressed up for her coming out/debut Halloween party last weekend. Everyone enjoyed hanging out in her and including her in the festivities. Her tattered couch got covered with a pumpkin tablecloth, her doors and windows lined with sparkly lights (which are staying up for the holidays) her countertops covered with little bowls of candy corn to welcome her new friends.

Her frame work is done, now it's time to get on with the electrical and plumbing work. Then spring will be for the fun cosmetic things like cabinets, light fixtures, and upholstery. Baby steps are fine with me, I've been waiting for this project a long time.

Happy tricks and treats from me & Amelia!
