We have been busy on a lot of small projects trying to complete her. It 's been a bit difficult to devote the time to her but we inch ever closer to completion...
|
Here's the door, I re-skinned it and added the jalousie window c- looks and works great! |
|
It seems I've been working on her forever... |
|
Water heater installed as well as the power outlet - they both look better then I thought and i will be painting the water heater cover to match |
|
The curtains were made with black out cloth and it really works! Pitch black when shut even during the day, plust hey now offer great UV protection |
|
The water tank fill cap, I had it polished and it turned out great |
|
The water storage tank all installed, we used turnbuckles and cable - Lori did a great job fastening it down |
|
I painted the fridge to match the "new" appliances - which are all powder coated aqua |
|
So fitting the oven and cook top required some modifications - SURPRISE!! |
|
With everything in the trailer gets quite warm for me while working so I bought a retro fan to use, it matches the theme perfectly and works amazingly well, really quiet and smooth, made in the USA back when we made the good stuff |
|
I built a stand for the oven to rest on in the cabinet |
|
Cabinet partially prepped for the oven |
|
Stand installed.... |
|
I ripped this piece of wood in half to fill the gap at top and bottom, came from the bunk bed frame so will match once shellacked |
|
I assembled the oven completely for a trial fit |
|
Looks great and has a lot more character then the original |
|
Same with the cook top, measure, cut, reinforce.... |
|
Here is the dinette area with cushions and curtains - everything is matching up nicely |
|
I tried to get a photo without flash - it looks warm with all the colors coming together |
|
Here is the counter area after I installed new plywood - I also added the retro aluminum edge trim. I'll be installing Aqua Boomerang Formica next. The table I am planning to build will also have the trim and Formica to match. |
|
A few more views without the flash |
|
You can also see the vintage style fan here (the exhaust fan in the wall behind the cooktop), from the great folks at Vintage Trailer Supply |
|
We are very happy with the results |
|
My very good friend Jim Anderson did a fantastic job on the upholstery and curtains |
|
With flash gives an idea of the color |
|
Table will be next for inside, after counter and hooking up appliances, testing the propane stuff will be fun... |
