BEFORE and AFTER Projects

There is nothing quite like finishing a

"Before and After" 

Project...

DOWNSTAIRS BASEMENT ENTRY

 

Sorry, I don't have a BEFORE

shot on this one...I did...

but, when my computer crashed...

my pictures went somewhere...just don't know

how to find them...right now...

Garvin tore out the flooring of this entry in the basement...

and re-tiled it, plus the bathroom downstairs.

 TRAILER - "BEFORE"

We were so blessed to be able to purchase this

incredible trailer from a dear couple in

Montana...It was SOLIDLY BUILT...

However, Garvin has wanted to do a few

things to it...and so he did...

(Rick and Fran Miller in this top shot...with Garvin)

They were unloading wood they had cut

down from across the street...

 

 You can see the old wood side frames...old rusted fenders...

and the rusty steel...

Now...the...

"AFTER" TRAILER SHOTS

Garvin has NOT welded in a very long time...

It took him awhile to get his hands working right...

He kept complaining that his HOOD was too OLD...and that

he couldn't see to weld very well.....UNTIL it dawned on him...

that he needed to be WEARING HIS GLASSES to weld, now...

 Adding some finishing touches...

 Had to get a new "Jack" - cause the old one

just broke under the weight of the logs

they had cut...

 Garvin took raw steel...BUILT these NEW FENDERS...

and painted them "Cherry RED"...as you can see...

(they are not hard to miss...smile)

 Inserted new wood...

The only thing he still needs to build...

are new RAMPS for the trailer...(there weren't any) He was, also, able

to lengthened the "width" of the trailer by "7" inches...so he

believes he will be able to drive one of the cars into

this trailer...HE IS VERY PROUD OF THAT!
