While Jared was being amazing and working on the glamorous and sexy job of framing and building the front cabinets, I worked on the functional aspects of trailer: finishing up the fiberglass patches and lining the back half of the trailer with Reflectix. I want to be warm and dry!
The fiberglass job looks horrendous from the outside, but it is watertight and withstood The Rain. So yay! (Note: The-30-minute-heavy-drizzle-Rain was an epic event in the mind of this East Coast girl who still thinks Ventura is a relaxing 70 degree day at the beach. And for the record, it totally is. Ventura rocks.)
Waterproofed fiberglass patch job. Ugly, but functional.
And now for some fun with spray adhesive! This was one of those great zone-out tasks that I really enjoy. Cover green fiberglass with Reflectix. Cut. Stick. Repeat. So Fun.
Argus and I also took a fun trip to Lowes while picking out plywood and paint for the back table. He got lots of love and pets as I pondered paint colors and brackets. After making our way through the checkout with a 4’x4′ piece of plywood, we went to load up the car only to find that the plywood did not fit. Argus was not amused by this amateur mistake.
