Wurz had to do the whole cladding process again for the panels either side of the door, but he managed to get it all done and looking fab in one day. He has already rusted the doors nicely so the back is now finished too. Read More
We/Wurz played with the cladding a bit to decide the order the planks should go and then cut all the lengths to fit. He fixed them all on and it does look amazing. He said he is going to put a bit of colour on some too but I think it’s fab already.
The thicknessing took us both all day, and the sun was relentless, so it wasn’t fun. Wurz did insist on fixing on one piece of cladding at the end of the day, but I was too tired to appreciate it.
I had been out to see family today and Wurz started prepping the wood while I was gone. We’d borrowed the thicknesser and he had set it up on the floor in the garden because the wood was too long and unwieldy to be done in the garage, on the bench. He fed loads of wood through to take it from however thick it was, down to 12mm. Read More
We bought about a mile of old floor boards today, to clad some of the trailer walls. They are too thick and heavy so will need thinning out first. We’ll borrow a thicknesser, yes, that is a real thing and I’m looking forward to getting started on this.
I recently found Valerie June on you tube and am playing her album Pushin’ Against a Stone, a lot. Check her out when you have a minute because I am loving her.
We moved the trailer into the garden today and it was far harder than I’d imagined. After a bit of bickering and some help from Jo next door, our beauty was in. I was very happy about this until I saw it from our living room, it has cut out the view and the light completely! It looks so bad it is funny.
I’d already Zinssered parts of the trailer that will be getting decals stuck on, to help them stick good, but through the patio doors it just looks like extreme fog and makes us flinch and do a double take each time.
We went to an Auto Jumble today, who knew they even existed? And we found an old car bumper. We knew we must have this even though we don’t know what to do with it yet. The seller was quite surprised when we were talking of possibilities, and he gave it to us for £10.
I’ve never really been happy about the trailer being on the drive and now the car needs to be parked on the grass because the trailer is taking up all the room on the drive. Parking on grass is bad for cars as it makes them rust underneath, so we really want to get the trailer into the back garden. We need some gates fitted first though. Read More
Wallpaper take 2 had to come off and this is my third and last attempt to make it good enough. Read More
