So my boyfriend bought a trailer.
And we committed to turning the craphole into a castle. First stop - walk in and immediately assume fetal position on the floor thinking about all of the work ahead of you. Second step - get rid of that stench. The carpet gone, the windows open (the windows that do actually open that is: 7 windows in the front end and none of them do), the rotten patches cut out of the floor, the mold cleaned out of the fridge, the whole job a lot bigger than we thought it was going to be. Time consuming, affordable, and slightly less than manageable when working full time 5 hours away from our weekend getaway. Difficult, but never a bad idea.
These guys could do it:

And we sure tried. End result: that photo at the top that we took when we first got there, it still looks just like that. It looks nothing like the masterpiece that Dan Hall and Andy Thomson created above. Inside, things have gotten much better. We hardley ever go fetal anymore.
