I swear, we've fixed all the water damage.

So the adventure, and the agony begins.  As most people find when they begin the dis-assembly process of these 40-50 year old trailers, there are bound to be places where water has found its way in.  When we purchased the trailer, we had seen how much work had already been done to remedy what the "experts" believed was the extent of the damage. After looking further into the paneling, and seeing the excess damage on the exterior, we had a feeling the extent of the damage was further into the trailer.. so dis-assembly began.

So what do we find?
Well, there's some staining, from a previous leak.  The previous owners treated this against wood rot, and the wood is still in pretty good condition, despite the appearance.

We found some nice bark shavings, likely where the rear drivers side came in contact with a tree, likely during the collision that caused the rear quarter damage.

We found that the bulge in the wall, stemming from the above damage, may have adjusted the level nature of our coutertops (about 3/4" over 12 inches)

 ..and the same damage affected our uppers about 1 1/2" over an 8" run.

 But on the bright side, the trailer comes with free honey!

Here is the rear quarter damage that we referred to earlier, those trees can be tricky though.. maybe they got hit?

 Nice bulge down the drivers side.. from this angle you should be able to see the front side of the trailer.

..anyway, back to the water damage... while a lot of the damage had been replaced, lights should have went off when there was staining in the lower corners of trailer.. water runs downhill.  Here's what we found in the corner.

Well, she just now because a walls-off-the-frame restoration!  Stay tuned!
