Here is an idea we are committing to the complete restoration on Nancy’s coach. As we all know, WATER LEAKS are the killer of motorhomes. If it weren’t for infiltrating water to the interior of a GMC, those awesome particle board cabinets wouldn’t have expanded like those snake things you used to get at the 4th of July! Heck, maybe more of those all wood motorhomes would have made it to today…. ah, maybe there are some good things about water leaks…
Anyway, Nancy has a problem and we feel we have the solution…. She is on the hypoallergenic side and the new coach they picked up had a bad mold and smells issue. A nice coach and well kept and maintained still, even I could detect a musty smell. I remember that smell over the years. In her case and because the coach really did need a going through… I mean it’s really nice bones… just a little smelly…
“So with picks and shovels we started back down then came that rumble way down in the ground… and the smoke and gas belched outa the mine….. everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John……” Sorry, I just had to share that vision with you because when you see the pile of rubble that we found at the “bottom of that mine shaft” you can see what I mean That platform had the shower mold on it… So here is where we are
The interior is out
The back floor was rotted so it was replaced
The debris has been extracted
Now we are ready for the new water seal process. We’re spraying the interior walls and headliner with a polyurethane (no Oder) water barrier.
Then the interior will be covered in chrome Mylar bubble foil like this one we did before
and from there the interior will be reinstalled. Follow Nancy’s interior, stay tuned…
Gotta go but I wanted to tell you of an epiphany I’ve thought might answer my problem of keeping all of the heard I have lubricated. Each morning I hope I can do my walk through the shop, open the doors…. pull out the motorhomes, Larry being one…. you know just like pushing motorbikes at the motorcycle shop, get the shop ready for a days work then fire up the bikes and tour a block, taking in am Armadillo coming home after a hard night at the bar
Some have asked the fate of our old shop, we still have it leanding space to limo companies as we filter more stuff to come over. Here’s the place now
Checking out the back buildings
parking them outside out of the way for the days work
If ya don’t drive um they die…. See ya tomorrow…
Jim,
Not sure how it happened, but the coach went from Willie’s coach to Willie and Nancy’s coach to Nancy’s coach. Do you have an old coach (doesn’t have to run), that I could buy and call it Willie’s coach? Keep up the good work and thanks for posting the progress.
