Rebuilding the Camper

If you saw the previous blog you know we bought an old nasty camper with lots of water damage. Here is the progress we've made in the last week and a half.

Looking right from the door in "mid-gutting"(At this point I still wouldn't set foot in the thing)

Finally I'm willing to go in. Standing at the back looking toward the front, here's what it looks like totally gutted. Anything you still see in the picture (such as insulation and cute little girls) we are planning to keep. We now have to walk on planks laid across the floor joists so we don't put a foot through the aluminum at the bottom.

A better shot of the floor. Compare this to the "mid-gutting" pictures above!

Standing at the back looking toward the front, you see we have put in the floors, ceiling and walls.

Standing at the back looking toward the front. Floor, ceiling and walls are now painted. Off to the left you see the table "legs" and some wood on the floor as we block out where we will be putting things back in.

So, just out of curiosity, is this something you are leaving at your parents' house to live in when you visit, or will you be taking it to SD w/ you and living in it for awhile or permanently? Looks like an awesome remodeling job and I can't wait to see the finished product!

We're planning to take it with us and live in it until we find something more permanent. =)

That looks so amazing! Great work, Josh. I'm glad to hear you are keeping the little girl accessory. I think it really adds to the place. Die kleine Mädchen sind schön The little girls are beautiful.
