Finished interior wood panel replacements, now Paint Prep- Never ending!

Well we've got some blog catching up to do. We've been working hard lately on the trailer, and we took a break to get married last month! Needless to say we haven't been keeping up very well on the blogging lately.  We've got just about all of the rotten damaged wood inside the trailer replaced with new birch panels and new pine wood framing where needed (and easily accessible).

Replacing rotten wood frame on back side wall

look at all this rotten wood we had to get rid of

We took out the original back side panel and laid it over our new birch paneling to trace the exact dimensions


Here is the new back side wall with new foam insulation, and paper moisture barrier


We also put in new locks for our side storage compartments


Now we have Keys to lock up the hatches















Next step- exterior paint.  (We decided to make her look good on the outside first)


Removed all the windows, gutter rails and rain gutter things, ceiling vent and exterior light fixtures (all getting polished- that will be another post all in itself what a job!)
                                    Look what we found when we removed the kitchen sink outlet!

Then we masked off all the windows with plastic and frog tape

Then we washed her down with a good de-greaser/ grime cutter and scrubbed her good with scotch brite pads
Notice the new wedding ring ;-)
