Still Plugging Along

It has been a long while since our last post, but our work has continued on the Lil Loafer each week and we have made some great progress over the last month.
 
We have purchased the timber for the new interior walls, and it's exciting to think that we will soon have the interior put together. Jim has already installed all the wires and cables inside the trailer.  

I have been helping out by cutting the insulation pieces for the new walls.  I still have many more pieces to cut out.  It was just too hot outside for me to complete my little job on the weekend, but I do look forward to getting back to it.  I like the fact that I can contribute in some way to the project!
   
Jim has reattached and has been sanding back the skins. We discovered that the stripes on the trailer were originally a dark red colour. It will be nice to get some fresh paint on the exterior.


Most recently Jim has been concentrating on the roof.  He has scraped off the old tar, and is preparing to re-coat the roof.
 
Here are some pics we have taken over the past month:

When we first brought the Lil Loafer home I had no idea it would one day look like this!
You can see the wiring and cabling has been run through the trailer 
The skin getting reattached. Some scraping of the old paint has been done.
It's looking like a trailer again!

Surfaces are getting cleaner and cleaner!
