Restoration of our vintage trailers. 1967 Airstream (Midge), 1957 Silver Streak, and 1961 Holiday House.

And So It Begins…..

And so it begins…..

Midge

Midge came out swinging – while manually maneuvering her into the parking spot my 19 year old son smashed his finger between the hitch and the timber block, and ended up with a trip to the ER and 5 stitches.  The next day, while enjoying a cocktail in the trailer with some friends, their 20 year old son came up and got quite a shock when he stood barefoot in a puddle of water and touched the side of the trailer!  Somehow the entire trailer was HOT.  Oops!   He is fine, and we all got a great laugh!

Immediate Plans:  Safety inspection of electrical wiring (ya think?).

Next we will be removing the gaucho sofabeds and cabinetry to install a new subfloor.  Not sure what our new flooring will be:  VCT Tiles, Rubber Flooring, Cork, Bamboo???
