1957 Shasta 1500 Project for the year 2020

Well with snow on the ground and her car windows needing to be scraped every morning, I have lots of pressure to get the camper out of the garage.

I have the sides insulated and started putting the wood strips on the edges.

Happy wife happy life, isn't that what they say.

All wrapped for Christmas...

Right now the axle is off and it is sitting on some dollies and the angle iron. I will lower it to the ground and see if I added any additional height. (I hope note because the original tin will not fit then) 

So if it is taller I have a couple of options. 
First remove the rubber seal strip. That will give me .5 of an inch. 
Second I could remove the cedar trim board and that would give me another .75 of an inch. 

I will put some 1x2 or 1x3 on the driveway and try and get them to take most of the load once I get it off the smooth garage floor. 

Thanks. This is a great thread.

Since I had nothing better to do I pulled the windows, eye brows, and interior window frames out of the shed and started cleaning them.

I got the windows taken apart and the 60 year old butyl tape off. After 60 years most of it was still flexible and soft. This is why I like using butyl tape because it stays soft for a long time.

I started cleaning the eye brows. I had to do quite a bit of work on straightening and reshaping from all the dings and dents they got over the years.

I probably got another 40 hours of work of cleaning and polishing. Great winter project.

They are Armstrong® Flooring Standard 12 x 12 Commercial Vinyl Composition Tile and glued down. 

It is official, winter is over. I went and got the camper and put it back into the garage.
