Much Happenin’ ‘Round These Parts
Sorry folks that it’s been so long. Our little trailer had to wait through a busy spell while I started up a new division of my company and my hubby was working hard on a special project for work. We also did something really unexpected and found yet ANOTHER project, but this one is MUCH, MUCH bigger…
Yep, that’s our new home! It’s our dream house. Well, with a lot of TLC it will be our dream house anyway. This craftsman home built in 1905 is Riverside, CA structure of merit #148 and now home to young newlyweds with big dreams to fill its 5 bedrooms with little rugrats and it’s long circular drive with vintage American cars (and our Aristocratica of course!). So, in addition to the Aristocratica we’re about to embark on another HUGE renovation project.
Needless to say, we hadn’t made much progress on our trailer until this weekend. However, this weekend the hubby got it tow-ready with new wiring for the lights and I busied myself painting the hardware from inside. Yes, I gave up on polishing it. Painting was so much easier and faster. Now it’s done, looks great and I don’t have sore fingers. We also replaced ALL of the rusty hexhead screws on the body with new stainless ones, polished some of the aluminum bits and cleaned the inside. She’s now full of most of the supplies we’ll need too.
There were other miscellaneous things we did, but the biggest of those was that we towed it! Well, just a few trips around the neighborhood, but we did it and everything worked great. Just a few things to finish up and she’ll be ready for a test run. Of course, with our schedule these days, who knows when that will be. We’ll keep y’all posted though!
