Me & My Ma'am Cave!!

Why yes! I do believe I'm the only glamper with a real working doorbell! Or so Ive been told. =-)
At our first show... thanks to my hubby Mike or I wouldn't be here!
My fav pic so far, one of my dashies peeking his head out =-) 

Interior Is Almost Finished!

Getting exciting now. We almost finished for our first show, but we fell short of doing the moldings and the rest of my decorating. But here is a little taste of my decor.
 Ok, ummm yea. It gets a little crazy when your up all night & the polyurethane fumes start getting to you. Dont pay any attention to the crazy man in the window. Lmao

Time For Interior

I just found out we will be in a trailer show next month so now the race is on to get interior at least usable if not finished. With the closet rebuilt, we slid original but painted cabinet back in, add stove, and we need to build countertop. I also started staining the bench tops.
The laminate is a special order from Lowe's. It came in about 2 weeks and now we need to glue it onto pressboard with contact cement, then add the original counter trim which I saved.

First Exterior Pics of Our '63 Sante Fe

We've come a long way, baby! Couple few little vents & elect box to install & exterior is complete, just in time to tow her to the big Pismo, Ca meet!







I love what Mike made to hide my propane tank! This antique trunk is about 100 yrs old & will look great with other vintage luggage piled on top of it when I stage it for shows/camping.

He installed new hardware so it could open sideways (that way it can sit close to trailer without hitting it) and he installed a little vent behind tank so fumes can escape/air can flow in. It also holds our firewood, wheel choks, etc.

Oven Remodel

Thank you to Antique Gas Stoves in Alta Loma, Cali for the beautiful reglaze they did on my 60s style brown oven. Reglazing is the correct procedure when you want to change the color of your vintage ovens since there is no spray paint that can resist the high temperatures it will be under. Glazing is what is done to begin with so this truly is a brand new oven. They even fixed my broken grate & reglazed them to a shiny black. Better yet, you just mail them the parts and they mail it back! No need to drive to Cali!
