More plolishing

Just some more progress photos of the polishing process.

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!

Just more photos of the interior progress

I got to visit our crown canned ham travel trailer today and see first hand the progress that Martin is making. If we could only clone Martin, the work could get done faster....

I forgot my camera, so I had to use my iPhone. I like the instagram app. It makes our vintage camper look so.....vintage!

That's my spot (since i fit between the table and counter)

It snowed in Prescott

Isn't the wood beautiful?

We need to the oven repaired so we don't have to worry about gas leaks.

Exterior Progress

Martin has been slaving away on his own up in Prescott. The front and back ends of our crown canned ham have skin again. We are reusing the old skin for character rather than putting new undented panels on. Martin removed the roof panels so he could insulate the roof. Its coming together. He was hammering away on the aluminum trim yesterday. All of that dented trim....

Roof panels off, insulating the front end

Glazing

The front and back windows are off to be reglazed!

Skin and Bones

Thats pretty much what Kaiser is down to right now, skin and bones. Martin finished removing the interior skin to expose the frame. There are some repairs that need to be done on the frame and some additional reinforcing is going to be added.

Meet Kaiser

Kaiser is our "new" lil' canned ham. He is a 1949 vintage canned ham travel trailer. The title says 1950, so we might just call him a 1950 canned ham. I haven't found one older on the internet yet....

The renovation begins. Hopefully it will be done in a few months. Go Martin (the renovator). I, Tracy, am the benefactor and appreciator of a beautiful little gem. I can't wait to go camping.
