It is cold, people! Several days this past week, it reached below 20 degrees...burr!!!! Mark is still working on the cabinents and windows. Just placed an order for the side window that was a mess when we bought the stream. Notice the cut out patch job on the wall, and how can you miss the lovely liquid nails on the wall, too? The window had been shot out (and the stream has two bullet holes on the side to prove it), but the PO just left the broken glass pieces where they were and covered the broken window with a piece of stained glass. Do I have to tell you that was one of the first things I said had to go? Stay tuned....</div>Our Silver Palace Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13729702544123696403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170718003509907684.post-45430102987149965872009-12-28T10:04:00.000-08:002009-12-28T10:13:08.646-08:00another perk? new tools<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaE3J-qk4ajuUSKHfk-C8KfVGTBTD1UA1pL5bS6z7i_QkhjezISR1ARi70iPObjP07_oKHCIOx0X5feZPKSxNqL8ilXMFT-hQj3vJUr7URl8qYLhIisj_7BnWqMi8PeYAwpK6x6vna0VqO/s1600-h/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+064.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420351645022507074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaE3J-qk4ajuUSKHfk-C8KfVGTBTD1UA1pL5bS6z7i_QkhjezISR1ARi70iPObjP07_oKHCIOx0X5feZPKSxNqL8ilXMFT-hQj3vJUr7URl8qYLhIisj_7BnWqMi8PeYAwpK6x6vna0VqO/s320/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+064.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB05NYC5vpY3tcB95A6a2v4ohZSUgnry54JaKIvdeAZcwi3LJS2qVNXE0hXorgHPzeKfREoDARR9PWt8jK_-HzyWH0IWG1sEH3af0W9mveF8IwQY8iD5OjqvnQNWV75R8iqMOVnGYRn87D/s1600-h/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+062.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420351240954950098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB05NYC5vpY3tcB95A6a2v4ohZSUgnry54JaKIvdeAZcwi3LJS2qVNXE0hXorgHPzeKfREoDARR9PWt8jK_-HzyWH0IWG1sEH3af0W9mveF8IwQY8iD5OjqvnQNWV75R8iqMOVnGYRn87D/s320/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+062.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiktMzUvGwrfYhLjjjhYxCZU0Yyl_IXM8w2Xp_0AnoB-6D7-3CaACQauM9Az8h9LXu_6_GF9TYFHb62EC-bJKYioUPCsNK6K5Xlm3HTX_HHjwKx3H3hlyocvB-ZSukU5ooc-5rfvv0m-V52/s1600-h/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+065.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420350861685084690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiktMzUvGwrfYhLjjjhYxCZU0Yyl_IXM8w2Xp_0AnoB-6D7-3CaACQauM9Az8h9LXu_6_GF9TYFHb62EC-bJKYioUPCsNK6K5Xlm3HTX_HHjwKx3H3hlyocvB-ZSukU5ooc-5rfvv0m-V52/s320/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+065.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Okay, I bet most of you with Airstreams would admit that another perk in ownership is the fact you can spend looooads of money on new tools and justify it to your spouse.... right? This nifty set of pics will show Mark replacing rotted floor. The rotted part was only about as big as a human foot, so it made sense to just replace that small part. Here are some of the pics that show how he did it. We had already checked the cross member and found that it was in great shape, so we knew we were in business with the "small" fix. </div></div></div>Our Silver Palace Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13729702544123696403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170718003509907684.post-57383984448491956302009-05-30T17:57:00.000-07:002009-05-30T18:02:20.429-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcQyp4EATJe1ATbx3Owo4DaOX6rRlt-tdbEgDXg-zngKw2RG6dj2XxdS65H4Jtqn2a5d7J7tlEjBj8_HkHZDaE42_rA-dsscTu-F_5UEAF4n_ZnvY9yE8PE_RzWOyga2FhvdS4TYOWftw/s1600-h/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341786405144949906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcQyp4EATJe1ATbx3Owo4DaOX6rRlt-tdbEgDXg-zngKw2RG6dj2XxdS65H4Jtqn2a5d7J7tlEjBj8_HkHZDaE42_rA-dsscTu-F_5UEAF4n_ZnvY9yE8PE_RzWOyga2FhvdS4TYOWftw/s320/bribdayairstreamchelseaprom+020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Every spot was a black tar mess!

It's a toss up which one of us hates the stuff the most. We have worked ourselves silly (pun intended) ridding the ceiling and walls of this black tar mess! As always, just when I think the job is impossible, Mark comes up with something that will "get the job done". The black tar (liquid nails) came off easier when heated with a heat gun. Just be sure to use the glue gun cautiously. Not that you, dear reader, are likely to have to remove two tons of liquid nails from a camper, but you never know! Enjoy the pictures.

The original owner's last name was Presley, the Safari's decor reminded us of the Jungle Room and last, but not least, the Airstream even came complete with it's own bullett hole. We don't care for the decor (imagine that!) so it will all be coming OUT. I couldn't even talk Mark into keeping the square silver tiles behind the stove.

I caught the camping fever last year. It came over me all of a sudden. Gas was high, I was contemplating buying a scooter (not really, but you can imagine if I did) and I thought "wouldn't it be fun to go camping?". My very industrious husband said "ok" and I was off! What kind to buy? I didn't care! I just wanted to GO CAMPING!!!<br /><br />Mark thought it would cool to get an Airstream. I said "ok". I scoured ads all over the 'net and newspapers and actually found two in nearby Georgia. (We live in central Alabama.) After phone calls to the owners, we left with plans to see them both.<br /><br />The first one was a Safari. I don't remember the year, but the trailer SEEMED in pretty decent shape. The owner had volunteered after Katrina and used it to live in for a year and a half. I was confident that she knew about the workings of the trailer. My husband wasn't so sure of this trailer since the owner didn't actually tow it and he wanted to be sure of the wheels, bearings, ect. since he had never towed a trailer before.<br />We went in search of the other trailer. I will let you look at the pictures and if you know my husband, it will be very clear why he chose THIS TRAILER.<br />Most of you won't know my husband, so I will explain:<br /><br />He's VERY talented with tools. The uglier the better because the renovation will be SO DIFFRENT from the beginning pictures, the "wow factor" will be serious.
