First Trip of the Season!


Calling all GG. We are ready to head out for our first trip of the season. Get your trailers out! Stewart Park is calling our names and the lake will be good fishing for the kids. It has been proposed that we go May 23rd, through May 26th. So dust off the trailers girls, and get ready for summer. We are hittin' the road!!

Senior Projects and Power Tool. Do They Mix?




The Queen Bee is under way! Danielle came over Saturday, and started ripping apart the inside of the trailer. Everything is out now and ready for rebuilding, except for the walls that Sean wants to take out one at a time so that he can rebuild them easier. Danielle got to use some power tools and now she has a new skill. She has already developed several skills doing this project, and has enjoyed it a lot. But when it comes to a battle of power tool and body weight, most of the time the power tool wins. Sean and Monte burned all the wood, and again more of the trailer went up in flames. Making progress, and ready to camp!

The New Silver Lining


After a lot of prep work all week, we were ready to paint on Saturday. Thanks to Gordon's amazing painting skills, we have a new trailer the Silver Lining. Next to us, the neighbors couldn't be happier with the new paint job. We are excited to start camping in style. We now have a trailer, thanks to attempting to sleep in the van with kids last year and promising we wouldn't do it again.

Old Glory

Ok, I have updated my slideshow with after pictures. Now you can see what it looked like first before we tore everything out and then the new trailer afterwards!

First Of Many Dump Runs


I pulled all the loose items out of the "Queen Bee" and the renovation is under way! There is hardly any sign that it was once pea soup green on the inside. Hopefully by this weekend we can have the walls out and start putting in new electrical. Brett is working on some diamond plate for the front to replace the fiberglass. It looks like things are under way. Happy trailering!

Silver Lining Update

Here are some before and afters of our trailer. We spent the weekend putting in baseboard, working on the stove, sanding the outside for a new paint job and putting in our new bench/storage/bed. Thanks to Gordon for his help with the bench. It's beautiful and works great. Thanks to my Mom for all her work with the curtains, bedding and upholstery. Tori helped paint and Sean helped with some of the floor. Thank you. Now the inside is looking close to done. After pulling out a lot inside, this is what we have done. Enjoy.
Entry

The bed used to be along the left side of the trailer. We put the bed in the back and made it bigger.

We took out the old storage area, and put in the bench/storage/bed. It will work great for the kids to sleep on.

Gorgeous Georges #3 "Old Glory" was started in May 2006 so that I would be able to go on the girls trip that year. We made most of it in time for the trip, but since then we've been adding to it. I realized that I don't have any new pics with it all done, so you'll just have to keep checking back and see the finished product! Enjoy, Tome!
