Ready, Set, DEMO!

"Each of us is carving a stone, erecting a column, or cutting a piece of stained glass in the construction of something much bigger than ourselves." ~ Adrianne Clarkson

I didn't cut stone, erect columns, or cut any stained glass (although now I have an interesting idea...) this past weekend, but I did begin ripping apart a travel trailer, which is a step in beginning to build something larger than myself.

It seems that reviving this old travel trailer will bring to life several awesome things. Of course #1 being the hubs and myself will be able to take off on the weekends. But in addition to that, we can roadtrip to Albuquerque to visit family, we can have extended camping opportunities with our family here in Kentucky. And once there are little ones running around we are going to be able to create awesome summer camping memories. Of course, we'll upgrade by the time there's little ones, but this trailer is laying the foundation for all of that.



They're going to go tear up my trailer


This is the first shot of the tow vehicle with the trailer. I'm going to trim the trailer out in the same red as the Durango. That job will fall to the hands of the ever talented Murph.

I'm thinking of painting a scape of the Sandia Mountains on the Rock Guard. Hubs would appreciate that.

This is known as the cave

Quite an... interesting... cabinet layout, not to mention the exposed electrical box



I like the kitchen, of course I want to paint the cabinets, because... yuck! But the lines and router design on the doors are cool and I have an idea to make them look "60's fabuhlus!"

See what I think about the cave and cabinet layout...

I'm currently unsure if that Bathroom vanity cabinet is staying or not... I'm leaning toward no, and doing some custom built-in shelving/drawers with the fridge, but we'll see.

We only worked on it for a few hours. And I've decided in the case I ever need a hurricane or bulldozer proof building that looks won't necesarily matter, I'm totally looking up the previous owner. When two of us are going full force with sledge hammers and can't get the thing out... That's some quality craftsmanship there. Like I said though, as long as it doens't matter what it looks like...
