Moho's Teardrop: 9/1/11

Testing Out "Stuff"

Not much progress past couple of days. I have been testing components I removed from the popup for function. The 12 gallon water tank holds water with no leaks, the 12v power supply works, etc. Doing all of this testing so I can finalize galley layout and such before I move forward with the galley and cabing...

Got 1st wall up and 2nd one skinned. Getting a wall vertical actually feels like I accomplished something. I should be able to put the 2nd wall vertical tonight which is the one laying flat...

Making Room in the Garage

Not much happening the past week due to cleaning out the garage to make room for the trailer frame. I don't want to have to worry about protecting it from the weather and all. Bad news is I'm on the verge of being OCD and making room for the trailer turned into cleaning attic, rearranging everything in the...

Waterproofing the Floor

So I removed the flooring plywood during disassembly. Once removed I noticed a light coat of black stuff on the underside. Not sure what they put on these from the factory but it protected it well for the 32 years of it's life. Just to cover any chance of issues I got a rubberized roofcoating from the...

Here is a few items I came up with for the final design, yeah it's a little soon but whatever. &nb...

So I'm going with a total fifties theme for the counter tops in the galley area. Swirly red and grey Formica laminate and chrome metal edge banding. Reminds me of my great aunt's kitchen...

Decided on the flooring, both are commercial vinyl tile made by Armstrong. Doing the classic checkerboard pattern throughout the trailer. Colors are Sterling and Maraschino....

Finally decided on the color scheme for the interior and accessories, woo...

Trailer is now painted! Quite a bit of grinding, sanding and cleaning to get it where it is. I used Tractor Supply's Farm Implement and Tractor Paint, worked really well and would recommend...
