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.

August 12- more paint strip
I am learning patience in an odd way. I stripped the left side today over the course of many hours. Love the airplane stripper, but I learned to do it in coats. One layer at at a time..Daniel-san. It does come down to bare aluminum, but it took 3-4 coats to accomplish. Expecting storms tonight, but might start on the dry rot soon if I run out of other things to do (work permitting). We have reservaions to go camping Labor Day- we'll see. (PS- bottom left panel will get rebuilt due to numerous vent cuttings- there is a place close by, but not sure if they can replicate it)
