<\/a><\/p>\nSince the metal frame of the trailer (that looks like\u00a0a “baseboard”) is black, I painted the Masonite black and also gave the rest of the\u00a0“baseboard” a fresh coat of paint.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, July 18th, we cut a piece of indoor\/outdoor carpet (like what’s under the bed) to go inside of the “bathroom”.<\/p>\n The floor in the front “dinette” area is quite uneven, so we decided that carpet would be our best bet there, too, as well as in the little storage space below\u00a0the dinette. Ultimately, we’ll have benches and a table in the front, so the carpet will really only be visible\u00a0under the table.<\/p>\n On Sunday, July 19th, Wayne installed the thresholds and trim pieces.<\/p>\n Looks very nice; we were quite pleased with the way this turned out!<\/p>\n As we were working in the trailer on Sunday when it was so ridiculously hot and humid, we realized that we should have gotten the A\/C\u00a0built into the closet BEFORE it got so hot! \u00a0Talk about 20\/20 hindsight….\u00a0Even with two fans running in the trailer, it got\u00a0very, very uncomfortable by 2:00 p.m.; 93 degrees according to a meat thermometer! \u00a0By the time the temp hit 95 inside, we decided we’d baked long enough; in fact, we were quite “well done.”<\/p>\n An hour at a local lake–simply\u00a0standing in neck-deep water–helped immensely!<\/p>\n When we got home, it wasn’t much cooler, but there were still some things we hoped to accomplish. \u00a0Wayne wanted to get some measurements for the bed extension (to make it a full double), and when we put the plywood pieces back on the support frame, we were surprised to discover that they no longer fit! \u00a0The addition of the marine hull liner fabric had added just enough<\/em> thickness to the walls to change how the plywood pieces fit onto the platform. \u00a0Well darn! \u00a0This led to more measuring, cutting, and sanding, but finally the plywood slipped into place.<\/p>\n As you can see in the picture above, the back yard has totally gotten away from us this summer since we’ve been so busy with other\u00a0things–including working on the trailer. \u00a0With the overgrown bushes, tall grass and weeds, my mother would have said that it just\u00a0looks\u00a0“snaky.” \u00a0Well, given that Wayne saw a big blacksnake just outside the basement door Sunday morning, I guess that “snaky” is a fair and accurate description! \u00a0Yikes!<\/p>\n While he continued to work on the bed platform, I decided it would be in our mutual best interest for me to mow–at least in the areas where we’re most likely to be. Before taking on that task, however, I put the “Luggable Loo” (a 5-gallon bucket with a toilet seat on top) into the “bathroom.” \u00a0We’ll still have to find a good way to secure it (I’m thinking two small hooks on the wooden back wall with a bungee cord to hold it in place when the trailer is moving), but at least we know that there’s enough space for it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
