Throughout the end of 2003 and the spring of 2004, we've been working on renovating our new home, a 1968 Airstream Overlander. Little by little, it's starting to come together. These photos are roughly in chronological order. Needless to say, they're "before" pictures. We look forward to showing you the "after" soon!


A very dusty Airstream on the road to its first bath in a long time in Monroe, WA.
 

Scrubbing up the tail lights.

We had the good fortune to get a space to work at our friends Kevin and Deja. This was the day that we received our new futon furniture from Soaring Heart in Seattle.

The original logo before Leslee repainted it.

My Dad and I working on the new bed frame and tanks in the rear. He's been an incredible supporter of our adventure since the beginning.
 

This is the framing for the kitchen right. We modified and reused all the original framing and replaced all the original bulkheads.
 

Monster Trailer Garage! After we moved the trailer to California, this is my father-in-law Glenn fixing our bumper. He's been a huge new help.
 

Shining the Trailer is a big job. Here's the start of the very back. It takes two rounds of polish and takes more than 100 hours.
 
 

The first scrub before we began the real work. At this point, we'd gutted and painted the interior with Zolatone.

Leslee sanding our overhead cabinets with the pseudo-random orbital sander. She stripped all the furniture and refinished it.

This is the kitchen on the left. We just mocked it up so we could see it develop.
 

Leslee cleaning our folding canopy. The original is still elegant and intacted.

The New Curtains that Leslee sewed. You might be wondering what work that Jude is doing on this project!
