Alright, It's official I'm a blogger now-- Front Wall Rebuild

So the first big project we decided to tackle was the rebuild of our front wall. here goes, with much help and advice from all the friends at  http://repairingyesterdaystrailers.yuku.com/ here is what we've got

Lol- doesn't look like it's going to be a inside to outside rebuild anylonger! The wood was so rotten even in the corners that we decided to open the skin up and rebuild the entire frame of the front wall

 here is the new birch paneling before staining (notice our one set of lovely original aqua dinette cushions ;-)

New birch panel in place on the inside with this moisture barrier paper behind, new plywood frame placed into the corners and then I rebuilt the whole front wall frame. (Ah notice the new propane tanks and the crapy mount the RV store welded on - this may need replacing down the line I'd like to get those round vintage propane tank mounts)

Alright, we've got the frame rebuilt, put the foam board insulation in and now we're putting a waterproof breathable membrane (TyVek ) to try and prevent condensation problems on the inside of the aluminum

Today we started putting the skin back in place, not an easy task I should say
