Airstream Repair and Renovation Day1

I spent the first half of the day making a list of priority.  Since I have to turn this job around so fast, I can’t afford to get bogged down on some things that could wait to be tweaked after hunting season is over.  I worked up a material list, went to Lowes, and got my sweetheart wife to start cleaning out the leftover trash from the cabinets.  Chris also pulled up all the carpet, removed the futon and sofa cushions,  a bunch of the beyond repair damaged woodwork,  the dinette, refrigerator, and water heater.   Now I can see how extensive the damage is in the floor and where we  will need to cut new parts for some of the partitions.   I removed the sink from the lavatory, some of the old pipes, the kitchen sink and counter, and was able to set a good workable plan for both Chris and I to be working at the same time without getting in each others way.

While the inside of the RV has definitely had some wear and tear over the years, the outer shell is in very good shape for the most part.  A future consideration for this unit would be to replace all the windows as the ones presently are not energy efficient and the operational hardware is mostly not working well.
