Will she float?


Insulation on the underside of the trailer. No more air infiltration!


I asked for 1.5" of closed cell foam, and in many areas I got up to 3".  I guess it has something to do with the application technique, but I like to think that it has something to do with the dozen doughnuts I brought the applicators. 

I bet this bad boy would float a lot further than your average trailer house!

Getting to this point is a big milestone for us. Covering the ceiling comes next in conjunction with overhead lighting. I'll then be able to erect interior partition walls and cover the exterior walls. How long will that take? Your guess is as good as mine.

Trim is now complete on the exterior. It's nothing fancy, and I think that the color of the cedar will really blend well with the aluminum once it grays a little. 



It's late in the evening here the night before the spray rig shows up to insulate. I had to clear out the workspace for the applicator, which was a good thing for me to do anyway.  I had accumulated quite an arsenal of tools and materials inside the trailer. 



The bummer is that all of that stuff had so go somewhere else. So for the time being, my garage is now a dump. 


This is the trailer that contains the spray equipment. They arrived this morning and it's a real challenge for me to let the applicators work without me looking over their shoulder. Until now, I've never had anyone work for me. I feel self conscious! I don't know what to do while they are here, but I'm not comfortable leaving either! They are about half way done with the job at this moment. I'm starting to twitch and blink erratically!  I am going in the yard to dig a hole straight down until they leave.
