WoHoo! Work has started Up!

Yep, you see right...No floor!
Hubby decided that the old sub floor needed to go.... Now to seal the underside of the wood before screwing it down.
On the plus side, the trailer will not have any funky smells or odors with all the new wood.
And it is comforting to know that the floor won't gave way under my feet.

Hubby loves his power tools! And so do I...cuz it makes his job so much more easy!
Next we need to lay down the vinyl floor and then onto the birch wood walls, wiring, cabinets, insulation and then button her up!
Last will be the tires, new paint & then hook her up and go Glamping!
Happy Trails!

Some Daze...

Some Daze....

Artwork by Paige Brides of a Scotty Vintage Travele Trailer Rally.
Some Daze.....
My little 1963 Serro Scotty will look as cute as this picture. Artist Paige Bridges of Texas is a fellow Sister on the Fly~sister and a fantastic artist of vintage trailer and other works.
She has designed cards with vintage trailers on them for our Sisters on the Fly group as well as as done some special art work for SOTF.
If you ever get a chance check her work out...she has the cutest art work.
I am partial to this Scotty picture cuz I have the same sweet little Scotty...if only I had a blue 1957 Chevy BelAir to pull it...I do have a 1954 BelAir,,,,but she is just a little to geriatric to pull anything!
Happy Trails!

Trailer Daze....

Ok, so today the hubs & I went out to the ManCave to check in on the trailers....
Yep, the Aljo is still naked as a jay bird! lol! But Hubby was able to do a wee bit of work on it.
If the weather is halfway decent tomorrow we just might get to start nailing on the cross braces. So keep your fingers crossed for us.
yep, as you can see, we can see right thru the Aljo to where the BelAir is parked....
Ok, bottoms up! lol!
Hubby is checking out the underside of the trailer....if all goes well maybe, just maybe we will get to start the repairs on the floor and then move onto the walls....
So glad hubby took a gazillon photos of the Aljo as he disassembled her. The photos will come in handy when we start to put her back together.
Happy Trails & Show No Fear!

My Idea of Glamping...then....

Ok, so 6 years ago this was as close to "Camping~Glamping" as I was willing get.
My daughter & I enjoyed staying at nice Hotels for our little 'Mother~Daughter' getaways.
This was at a lovely Hotel in Pasadena, California.....We would bring our scrap booking supplies, our shopping shoes and our credit cards.....that was then....

Now I enjoy wearing worn out jeans, cowgirl boots and Glamping in my vintage trailer....
In fact my first trip of 2010 will be the end of April down in Prosser, WA....
Then come June I have 2 Glamping trips awaiting me & my gal~pals.... 1 in July and 1 in August....those are the planned ones,,hopefully I will be able to sneak a few more in before having to tuck my trailer away for Winter.

Speaking of trailers,,,,,'Gracie's Victorian Rose' is still naked as a Jay Bird....it has been just to cold to work on her...but Hubby Dearest says the first warm weekend of Spring we will throw open the doors to the ManCave and start working on the Aljo again. Wahoo!
So for now I will Glamp in my lil Scotty w/a Potty who I now call the "Gnome Home"....
It's fun having different decorated trailers for my 'many' different personalities! lol!
