10.21.12 Skin patching/Polishing

10.21.12

We spent some time on YouTube finding out how to polish and shine “Tin Lizzzy” to it’s best.  The way we decided on is a 4-step process.  1. 400 grit sandpaper 2. 800 grit sandpaper 3. Black jewelers polish 4. White jewelers polish. Today we did the door side - steps 1 and 2.

 

 We also spent time patching some of the corrosion/holes with JB Weld. As “Tin Lizzy” sat for some time in a field, we can tell that one side got more sun than another, and one side had more water damage than another. So as a result the kitchen side needed a lot more patchwork than the other. As each piece of skin was patched we began taking up the kitchen side of the trailer.

Don't mind the tree droppings...windy day!

It was all about cleaning up & washing the outside skin both inside and out. After it was all washed up and scraped of any left over glue we missed the first time around, we tacked it up on the door side of the trailer. In the process of taking it all apart and then putting it all back together it was a monumental day for us as we start to realize that we are “almost” done.

Today we rebuilt the screen door and painted it our accent color. We also rebuilt the front door and insulated it. Today was also the day we celebrated “POWER!” Was so great to see her all lit up at night.
