The floor removal begins....

Disclaimer--I have *no clue* how long this process will take.  This may very well entitle the next six months of progress, who knows??  I didn't get a chance to update the blog last week, but we did make it over to the 'Stream and take a load of unusable items to the landfill.  Scraps of wood, insulation, old pipes, mattresses, cushions, etc.  It was something that desperately needed to be done, as our pile of removed items is creating a snake den in the barn.
This week brought an opportunity to finally get the shower pan removed, one of the upper storage cabinets down, and the biggest feat: beginning the floor removal.  We removed the screws from the C-channel in the front part of the trailer.  Our hope is to remove that section first, therefore keeping the shell stable.  We are not trying to do a shell-off restore, we'll see how far this goes.  My dad helped us out with sawing up the first portion of the floor.  We were able to lay eyes on a small portion of the frame, it doesn't look too shabby, but could use some TLC.  A pretty bad storm came up while we started, so we had to cut it short.  Will be on vacation for a week, so we'll be back in full gear in a couple of weekends.

Shower GONE!!!!  *finally*

Upper storage cabinets removed

Getting my dad involved in the mayhem

Fun & frivolity

The biggest news lately is that we received our title in the mail a couple of weeks ago.  So, it's o-fficial.  We are the owners as proclaimed by the fine state of North Carolina!

As promised, during the slow renovation times, I will be posting some items that I pick up here & there for the 'stream.  Recently, I purchased the sweetest little tea towel from Etsy (more specifically, follow the link here for the shop: lemonade makin' mama).  The teal mason jar is gonna look just fab in our little kitchen.

Also, I recently purchased the neatest app for Instagram (Rhonna Farrer designs) and was able to design this lovely little photo of the wig wam.  Check her out!!  Snug as a bug in a rug in the barn!

Looks like the next time we'll be working on the trailer will be July 20th.  We shall catch up soon!

If these walls could talk (or buzz)

This weekend's interesting find upon removing the remaining lower walls was a huuuuuuge wasp's nest.  Thankfully it had been vacated, but geez louise, that was a bit scary when the insulation was removed and you see THAT staring you in the face.

We were able to remove all the lowers skins except *one* little piece that was in the corner of the bathroom.  The shower base is still connected to the pipe under the trailer, and we don't have a pipe cutter, nor tin snips, nor a saws-all.  So, it remains.  As does that one piece of wall.  Needless to say, we were happy with our progress.  We won't be able to work on the 'stream for two weeks (bah!) but our next step will be removing the screws in the C-channel and removing the floor.  *fingers crossed*

wasps! well, they used to be there.

That *&^@# pesky shower floor.  And the one piece remains.
