  • Coming back together…

    Takin it to 11… Eleven Man May 23rd, 2010
    Frank won points with Craig making a great analogy to “Spinal Tap”, one of his cult favorites. Stripping down Rosie’s chasis and welding on new outriggers and a crossmember.

    Pour on the Por…  fifteen that is May 31, 2010
    Lovely pictures of Rosie’s frame showing 2-3 coats of POR-15.  In other words, “Paint Over Rust”, I wonder if that might be where POR comes from.

    It’s great to see Rosie starting to come back together!  She won’t be done in time for the Bash in Plymouth, NY, but I am reconciled to that and have plans to camp in a truck tent with a comfy mattress.

    It was really fun to read about Rosie in Frank’s blog tonight, head over and read it!

    Due to the wet ground, she isn’t hanging with the kewl older trailers in the field.  Seventies trailers are considered vintage, but they are not as coveted as the earlier ones.  It’s not just the additional years they have on them, Airstream made them different before 1970, different management.  I happen to like the seventies look and windows and it’s good aluminum still.  The nice thing is that Frank was able to see her through my eyes.  He did a good job sorting out what she needs and what we want to accomplish.  I think I dreamt about water, grey, and black tanks last night.

    I miss seeing her in the driveway, but now I have a picture of her in the “on deck” position, or maybe officially she’s warming up. Frank has one in surgery with another trailer on deck before Rosie.  I’m glad she’s down there waiting and not stuck in a snow bank up here.

  • Make it go away

    Well, it rained hard this week for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, the water is still leaking below the small window next to the door. The antenna cover is also still leaking, but that’s not a mystery.
