Trailer Rehab: Make hay while the sun shines

The roof! The roof! The roof is on fi … finished.

Today I followed the old saying, “Make hay while the sun shines,” or in my case, “Spread that elastromeric rubberized roof sealant while it’s 70 degrees outside three days before Christmas and before the rain comes in tomorrow.” 

So that’s what I did.

And not just its second coat, but also its third and final.

Yeah. I was on tip-toeing (toing?) on the roof. No one else was home. If I’d have fallen off, no one would’ve known until Mom arrived home later in the evening, unless I’d have managed through my concussion and broken arms to remove my phone from my pocket and dial 9-1-1. #overactiveimagination

There’s rain coming. y’all. One can never be too safe from rain leaking through cracks in your roof. Oh, and that is not a tarp. It’s the floor of my former tent, which I repurposed after the tent was destroyed.

In addition to the roof, I finished painting most of the interior (sans bathroom) and stained the wooden base of the bed, along with hanging cabinet doors and reinstalling drawers.

Here’s a peak into the bedroom:

And a little reminder of its journey:

 

So that’s a wrap for today.

Move in: 24 days away.
