Making It A Little Bit Nicer
The north trailer bedroom wall needs work, as
does the unseen west wall and its wheel well.
This bed frame was made 10 years ago to fit around
the wheel well. We need a new bed.
The trailer is on a permanent rack.
This wheel well box is not needed.
The box is gone.
Cutting away the wheel well box with a
Ridgid JobMax flush-cut blade
Urethaning the bedroom floor and doorway
Moving in a new bed purchased at the
Angel View Thriftmart in Yucca Valley
Preparing to work on the North wall of the bedroom
Sealing the old wall with urethane to solidify
the old dry wood
Wood filling the holes and splits
About to paint
Urethaning the new trim
These are the original steel window frames of
the old Branstrator trailer
The trailer floor slopes. These adjustable
castors raise the head to a comfortable level
Making sure the headboard and bed frame meet the
round wall evenly. Yes, this hidden wall needs work.
Making a third leg so that the queen headboard will
fit the double bed frame
All bolts are tapered and/or recessed so that they
will not catch on walls, legs or suitcases
The queen headboard is attached to the double bed
frame with the 3rd leg
A new bed, newly painted wall and window frames, and new blinds
This lousy composite shows the new ceiling lamp track system with one leg to go
Well, the ceiling needs work too - next time.
It is comfy, clean and cozy.
