Work Completed: New plywood walls and sub-floor as in the original, new roof joists, and the aluminum skins are back on. I have also made and installed new plywood seating front and rear and made a unique counter top and storage from a large old aluminum suitcase.
Still Needed: New birch interior wood installed on walls, seats, and cabinets. Roof reinstalled. Sanding and Exterior paint. "New Old Stock" 9" Asphalt Floor Tiles I have been saving for this trailer also need to be installed, and a few various other knick knacks like curtains, bedding, cushions, etc....to be updated as it happens!
Sept. 30 - Roof is on - Body Paint is on. Now to get the windows done and installed. Need to get it water tight before the rains hit.
To see a completed trailer with a wood interior, view the last one I have posted - a 1957 Cardinal - the interior turned out exceptionally pretty - There is nothing like the old birch wood interiors - they really glow.

Great blog. I am renovating a metzendorf. Thankfully mine didn't need as much work. Love all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorf!
ReplyDeleteMetzendorfs are a really similar trailer to the Adirondack. Glad yours was an easier fix.
(Slow response appology - I Just figured out I had a "comments" section and how to use it!)
