Re: It's got to be a disease.

After doing a bunch of measuring, I found the Airstream would fit in the shop with just enough room to get around the back. We decided to put it inside for the winter and get the lights working and see if the water system would work. Well.................just like building a car, the plan has evolved, snowballed and uncovered problems have greatly increased the build.

Right away we pulled out all the old gas fired appliances since I wasn't going to take a chance blowing anything (ie-myself) up. Once we did that, a bunch of mold and just nastiness was readily apparent, so all the cupboards, etc. were ripped out to make way for new ones that will be completely revamped to fit the new design.

The carpets were also ripped out and this uncovered more rotted areas in the floor than we knew about. (Surprise, surprise. )





The bathroom.





New floors.





Everyone I talked to, including "experts" all told me to use mortar to level out the patches. With the flexing of the trailer while travelling, I wanted something that would move and not come apart. I decided to use Kitty Hair fiberglass reinforced mud.



Here is the metal shroud for the waste water tank that mounts under the bathroom floor. I am in the process of making a new one.



The up grades are further along, but I need to get more pic's.
