Trailer Update

Hi everyone! Yes, I am finally posting Teresa. I got home from work yesterday and Judy and her Dad finished working on our camping trailer. We knew there was a leak and couldn't find it. Judy did some serious detective work and found that water was coming into a screw hole inside the water heater cover when ever it rained. We noticed a problem initially because the linoleum had dark spots and asked a dealer about it. He said that he thought it was caused by too much glue being used when it was manufactured.... Wrong! The floor when you walk in the door was getting extremely soft. Judy and her Dad removed all of the linoleum replaced all the bad wood and put new tile down. Not ceramic but the stick down kind... but a little thicker. Although we are ceramic tile crazy, I don't think it would ride in a trailer very well without cracking up. She is so talented! You can tell by the pictures of the finished product. I forgot to take pictures before and during... but I got after shots.

















I found this picture when I was looking for the trailer pictures. Jake was tasked at school for science to build a vehicle that could propel itself for 1 1/2 meters (Still teaching the metric system in school saying the US will be going to it someday. Thats what they said when I was in school, over 14 years ago!). The "mouse-trap car" ended up working but we modified it from the picture to be front wheel drive (turning the mouse-trap the other way) and using a rubber band instead of string.
