We bought a 1960 Garwood Vintage trailer for my wife's birthday in July. It had been sitting on the side of a house for years, and we've always had our eye on it. The day came and we brought her home, and then dicovered how much work was really needed to get her street ready, much less camping worthy. This is her story - we haven't decided on a name yet, but she will shine some day soon.

Aug. 18th- strip,strip, strip
Happy happy, Joy joy- still stripping paint. Bought some Airplane strip Rustoleum at Auto Zone yesterday- not near as good as the blue stuff- takes many more coats. Trying to work a couple hours in the morning while it's cool. Finished at noon toady and 106 degrees- the trailer is too hot to even touch- the stripper dries in 5 minutes so have to work fast. I'm about 3/4 of the way complete- hopefully monsoons are over in the next week or so- ready to have some fun for a change.
6:30pm- Finally a storm! I was starting to think I was stalling on the outside for nothing. Getting a good rain and wind storm- glad I left a few screws in the body and trim. I hope to finish the outside by this weekend.
