While we were away, the bare frame went to the welder who beefed up the frame a bit and added stabilizer legs, removed the waste tank and added new jacks. New brakes were installed as well.
This is a picture of the frame, before, not horrible.
Here is the after, we are getting some pretty damp weather with rain so priming will have to wait. This was easy and it did not take as long as anticipated. Notice the new stabilizers. The base is welded to the frame but not the legs so they can be replaced when needed. See Susan grinding!
We have also been working on the skin removing the rest of the stables, and struggling with the windows, rusted screws are "screwing" the process. Very slow going.
We learned how to use a pocket hole jig and and reworked all the cabinets, they are much stronger than the staples that were used. Fun tool and easy.
No pictures yet, but we cut the bottom layer of the floor, put it on the trailer and made sure the dimensions were correct. Held up a piece of the skin to insure the the width matched so we will not have any nasty surprises later.
Onward, I think it will get more challenging during the next few weeks.
