Test Polishing

Kaiser's new name should be road rash. This 63 year old trailer has lived a life based on its skin. If only he could tell stories. We are in the midst of polishing the exterior and accepting that he is dented and scratched up. We love him anyway.

creating the template for the original swoosh, the rims have been painted.

what we had to start with, paint splatters, dents and scratches

Martin is testing the polish (before we cleaned the skin up)

we used acetone to clean the paint splatters off

The test panel (and probably the most dented section, except for the huge gouge on the other side)
what the mirror finish will eventually look like all over.

Its the little things

The stove is now functional. Martin called around to a couple repair places and they said it wasn't repairable (meaning they don't have parts they could order and a manual to follow). So Martin fixed it himself. And I thought chalk board paint would be cool for the inside of the door, since it needed to be redone anyway. This will be a nice in-between for this summer. I can't wait to go camping soon!
