Atfore

The origin of the current Airstream remodel lies in the Mojave desert. It was there that Chris drove the Globetrotter into a sandy wash. It was very sandy. The wash ripped the belly pan off the trailer, disturbed some 40+ year old waste plumbing (yuck) and began the spiral down to the complete black water (yes, that is what you think it is) failure that we are now dealing with. So gutting the trailer and starting from scratch is his fault idea, not mine.

It has nothing to do with the cool NOS (new old stock in ebay-onics) Airstream bathroom that I found on Ebay. It has nothing to do with the Princess Marine Range that I have been lusting for. Nor, how I will just feel better in my freshly restored aluminum vacation dream house on wheels. OK, get my drift? As is the case with most remodels, there are many forces driving the insanity.

A trailer remodel is a valid opportunity for marital strife. Just as rich in potential arguments as a full blown kitchen-bath and an addition remodel. To yelling about color and trim now add dissension around power utilization and tongue weight. Chris and I have been having the same argument for three weekends now (like all insane remodelers we are do-it-yourselfers and weekend warriors). It goes something like this:

Leslie: This kitchen counter top will be beautiful on 4″ risers! The counter will float and be architecturally perfect. I can store a cutting board between the cabinet top and the counter top. Lets do it!
Chris: A floating counter will never hold the oven to the trailer. The oven will be flung out of the counter top and destroy the trailer. Oh Woe is me, all is lost!

Leslie: No it wont

Chris: Yes, it will

(repeat until someone is yelling and all productive work ceases)

At some point, I will report a happy ending to this, but Chris is off for Taiwan tomorrow and so the argument will have to wait for a week or so. However, I can pretty certain that counter top will float.
