The first day of demo

   The first day of demo always is nerve racking wondering what we are going to find. In Leeola's case we knew that it was NOT going to be pretty behind the bench seats someone put in her. Boy were we right. Nothing like the smell of wet rotten wood in the morning. Turns out that was just the beginning of the day. We also discovered that 100's of carpenter ants had taken up residence in the insulation behind this wall. At the end of day she did smell a lot better than then we started.







   We knew that front living room vent was leaking, and that it would need replacing. Someone had tried to stop the leak in the front vent at one time. Apparently they used about 4 or 5 tubes of silicone to permantly seal up the vent and stop the leak. It didn't work. All three of the vents are sealed that way and are pretty much junk at this point. It's a good thing that "Vintage Trailer Supply " has them in stock. I would love to put in a fantastic fan in her, but that is just not in the budget right now. I am going to run 12volt wire so if we decide in the future to put one in the wires will be there.
