hmm

Not much to report today, its slow going during the weekend when the husband is at work and we cant take turns watching the kids.But the kids went to their grandmas for the night so i had a little time this morning. I finished pulling out the paneling on the wall i had been working on. I finished after that. Apparently the wall paper they had used is made of the same shit as captain america's shield. Because it took me forever to pull it out, when the paneling with out the wallpaper was super easy.

Pictures and updates on Saturday. :)

Slow goin on the lo-liner (here by name The Berserker)

It is a solid 95 here in Visalia today, which mean inside the trailer is probably at the least 100 degrees. So as far as work went we did very little. My husband  and I managed to take out one of the shelves, which was more of a project then we anticipated since the screws where stripped. i also got the door jam thing ripped out, and part of the wall paneling ripped out, there is some water damage and mold on the of the support beams around one of the windows which hopefully will be a easy replace.

 So I got this far when I realized that I might need to cover my face, and i should google what asbestos looks like. And it wasn't, but after the epic battle getting that middle shelf out there was dust and random spare change everywhere so i cover up with a bandanna.

Then thats when the man child tried to get into the trailer and instead of asking for help, he just f-ing lost his S**t.

So i had to take a a break to comfort him, while my husband thought it was hilarious and took pictures and videos. After that adventure, the men folk went inside while i got busy ripping out that part of the paneling.

Thats where the water damage and mold ate at the wooden beams. But it only looks like two need to be replaced. We will also reseal the window and make sure no leaks happen.

Random selfie. 

This is where I stopped working, cause I'm pretty sure I started to melt.

Water damage in the corner.

Which means we will have to take this whole shelf down to replace the paneling and seal any openings.

My mess by the end of it.

all my friends know the lo-liner...

So this past Saturday the husband and I made completely irresponsible decision and bought a '71 Aristocrat lo-liner. I've been stalking vintage campers on craigslist for some time and with the help of our two amazing aunts we were able to purchase our Aristocrat.

It is in need of some tough love for sure. And since I've taken the pictures my husband cleaned the outside of the the trailer and the windows and i have cleaned the inside.

The pros
the body is amazing on it, the woman i bought it from was going to turn it into a concession stand and had her husband who is a welder check it out and its sturdy as for as frame work goes.

the oven, the lights, the fridge including all counter tops, seats, sink, stove and table are in great condition.

it came with all the original manuals and all the pink slips from all the people who have ever owned it

gave us a new water heater and grey water tank

The Cons

it might need new bearings

probably will have to replace the toilet...im scared

we are going to rip out all the old paneling since we have some suspicions on leaks in two corners, but we think it might just need to be sealed

rip out the flooring cause, well, it sucks lol its worn out and as much as i dont want to do it, it needs to be replaced

we need to figure out the air conditioner and heater

and replace the pole and cushion thats missing from the top bunk

also needs new propane tanks and tires

let the fun begin
