Wall, bed stands, fabric and other miscellany

So, we've been working pretty hard on getting Flora moved along on her re-build.  We committed to attending the NSSO camp-out at Maumee Bay State Park in August: http://www.nationalserroscotty.org/campouts/maumee.html so we have a deadline.  Posting a few pictures of where we are now.

 

Found this picture and had to put it on here: Gail using her angle grinder to cut off the trailer jack.

Street-side wall attached to the frame.

Street-side wall with the bed frame and one part of the bed top installed.

We got the Scout back a couple of weeks ago, after some major maintenance and took her to the Tin Can Tourists (http://www.tincantourists.com/) Spring rally in May.

Here is Mable Kroes in her Scotty giving her stamp of approval to Pokey (the Scout).  Thanks for the picture, Nancy!

Back to the trailer: Here is the street-side bed stand installed.  We used a mix of golden oak and cherry for the stain.  The bed has the first coat of varnish on it.

Another view of the bed stand.

A pic of the VIN.  Gail worked with the angle grinder for a long time before we could see this.

Sweet find:  plastic glasses with burlap sandwiched between the layers.  The serving tray tips up so the glasses stack on top of each other.

Flora's awning material.

Cushion fabric.  We've started the piping (43 yards of it) which is the green of the leaves in the fabric.

Trying out the curb-side dinette fit.  Nancy Kroes sent us a tracing of the dinette seat and table.  We'll eventually make a scaled copy and post it for others to use.

Removing the window from the door that needs to be re-built (like everything else). The window has to be out before the door skin halves can be separated.  On this window, we ran a knife blade between the seal and the window and then popped the window out. 

Putting the inside frame of the door back together.  Next, we will have the door skin painted and then the window will be reinstalled.  We'll use safety glass instead of the standard window glass the previous owner used.

That's about all for now.  We are scrambling to get the skin ready to paint and expect to pick up the re-furbed windows in the next few weeks. 

Until next time.  Rachel & Gail
