Doors Be Gone!

We're on the path towards finishing!

Tuesday, Jacob came by and took all the cabinet doors off.  The bases are going to be painted white (painting started today!), and yesterday, Alf came by and hauled off the sleeper sofa to be reupholstered.  It doesn't look like much yet, but here's a shot of the cabinet doors off- I really felt no pangs of guilt tossing out the horrible fakey 1980s stained-glass doors on the AV cabinet.  In fact, I would have taken a hammer to them if I wouldn't have had to have cleaned up the mess myself.

My Life in a Can: I Bought an Airstream

Well, I bit the bullet and bought an Airstream.  A whole lot of Airstream.  32' feet of it.  I am going to try to blog about it daily, starting with the whole renovation of the interior.  I found this one on ebay in Montana- the seller described it very well, answered all my questions and was willing to deliver the trailer to The Happy Traveler RV park in tony South Palm Springs.  Today, I am meeting a drapery person, a flooring guy, the upholsterer, and a cabinet guy to get the ball rolling.  I am very excited, and terribly nervous about the whole transition to living in a can.  A big silver suitcase, as my cousin calls it.  Did I mention that I am going to live in it for 12 (yes, twelve) months and write about the experience- the trailer park, being in a tiny space, blah, blah, blah.  Tune in for more information later!
