Trailer Renovations

As if we didn't have enough to do, we decided to modify the bedroom in our airstream so we could fit a queen size mattress. The original bed was sagging and in need of some work so we went ahead and gutted the room.

The room has been cleared of all the old furniture and we are ready to measure and start building the new.

A view of the storage area under the old bed. You can access this area from the outside of the trailer, so this will stay in place, just box around it.

All the old bits in the "bone" yard beside our trailer.
 We did finish the room but it was dark and we were working with flashlights so I will take some pictures today and post them tomorrow.

While we were renovating, the crew was building. Here the scaffolding arrives. This will brace the walls and allow TJ to walk the hose delivering the concrete around the perimeter.

Gently does it.

Just some final checks and if the weather holds we should pour the concrete today or tomorrow.

It's 6:30 a.m. and the crew will be here in half an hour. I need to get a few more pipe cut and inserted through the wall. Have a great day and drop by later to see the progress.
