These

belong in the "Things
are going to get worse before they look better" category!
It
has been a busy couple of weekends! |

No

The
paint is coming off pretty good - Ive tried just about everything there
is out there. So far the CitraStrip is my favorite...it
smells
good, works well for being "safe" and it doesn't burn your skin.
So
far only a few pieces have water damage stains on them. I
have
bought some birch veneer and plan on re-surfacing those small
items. Some of the wood closet panels and shelves are so old
& brittle that we will be replacing them using the old ones as
templates.

Everything
is in the garage...including the kitchen sink!
| 
The
appliances await their testing & cleaning...
|
...and
good ridance to the rest of the foam & flowers!
Bye-bye
Birdy! |
| The
first weekend in May...our annual May Maintenance Rally with the DenCO
Unit. Time for Birdy to make her first appearance!
So, after disembowling her...we feathered the nest and took
off for our fiirst outing... | 
It
rained, & rained, & rained...
This
photo was taken during the only sunshine we had all weekend.
There was asctually even a tornado watch in the area...about two
miles west of us...we even had hail, rock salt-to-pea size, no damage,
but...yikes!
Oh well, gave us a chance to check out where there
are a couple of leaks...nothing major, but we're going to have to
remove some small sections of the floor below the back window...and
under the "used to be" shower pan. | 
No
water, no gas, no tanks but we were all comfy!
| 
|
Now
that we are home...we will be starting some of the big projects...like
removing some of the interior panels so we can fix the few soft spots
on the floor. |
More
pictures ...
So, I have been a bit remiss about posting photos & updates here. Too busy working on Birdy!
I have put up some pics on AirForums.com in a thread called
"It's a Girl!!!"
if you want to get an idea of what's been going on ~
once things slow
down this fall, I will update some of the topical pages here.
