Welcome Back!
It's mid-March, and we've gotten back to the restoration process after a lengthy (and somewhat snowy) winter break. Over the past two weekends, we've made a lot of purchases, and have gone back to removing rivets with a goal of having the shell off by next weekend (March 20th). But we haven't been idle all winter. We continued our research of "how-to", learned more about electrical systems, plumbing, and floor removal. We made the decision to do a complete restoration from the frame up, which means removing the shell and replacing everything. To bring everyone up to speed, we've gutted the trailer, gone through the items to keep as patterns and recycled all of the old appliances to a local metal recycler. The rest of the stuff (materials that could not be recycled) were carted off to the dump. I chose to pay the metal recycler to haul it off as there was a considerable amount, and it would have taken me 3-4 trips and all day to complete. Worth the $120 to have it gone. Over the winter months, we made a computerized layout of Maggie, and painstakingly created several different layouts. You have to take your time, and make phone calls to get exact dimensions, as sometimes the descriptions of the items don't include all of the dimensions you need.
