First project: The Flooring
Jon got inside the trailer and started pulling up all the carpet and linoleum. Aaaaand that's where we hit our first snag. As he was pulling up the flooring in the kitchen, Jon noticed it was damp underneath the table. (Ugh. Of course this wouldn't be easy.) It had rained a few days before that so we were pretty sure water got in some how. Jon looked on the outside of the trailer and sure enough! Pretty much all of the caulk on the outside was old and falling off. Which means water leaks. (Double Ugh) Thankfully, the weather has been gorgeous the past few days. Jon was able to finish pulling up the flooring and caulk around every opening on the outside of the trailer! All while working crazy hours at work and being an awesome dad!
And so it begins....
Cheering on Daddy
Damp flooring under the table
We're pretty sure the leak was from here. First spot to be caulked!
So now we eagerly wait for it to rain again. Something I never thought I'd wish for while living up near Seattle. But we need it. We want to make sure we've got any type of leak sealed so we can start putting in our beautiful new flooring!
Here's to hoping that it rains soon AND that the rest of our projects go fairly smooth. Until then...you can find us pulling up the millions of staples used to put the carpet down. -__-
Until we have s'more!
