Sneak Peak of Bell

I have done a lot of work on my little camp trailer this last week.  My mom and sister have been a huge help because not only were we getting the trailer usable for fair but we were also making hay.  Over half of our hay farm was cut and being made.  We were busy and the busyness is not about to stop with fair coming up!

We got the whole inside painted this last week, laid and fitted the linoleum, painted trim, put trim in, put the couch fame back together, wrestled new wood paneling in, finished sewing curtains, hung curtains, and shoved a futon mattress in. Just today included getting the futon in, putting in trim, hanging cupboard doors, and putting up decorations. When three of us are in there working, which has been most of the time, it gets way hot, sweaty, and stinky. We joke that the trailer is a sweat shop. Erin probably thinks that because I give her tons of jobs to do while she is out helping. 

It was crazy at times in the trailer.  I think it was Tuesday and super hot out when Erin and I wrestled the new wood paneling in.  It was tough!  We were pushing, hitting, hammering, and saying things to this piece of paneling and it would just not cooperate.  After a bit, I sent Erin away to paint trim so that I could just go after the paneling alone.  In the end, I just started hammering nails in and calling it good.  I also cut about five feet of the paneling with a box cutter knife trying to get it to fit around the window.  I am still baffled that it was a pill to get in because I measure everything several times before cutting!




Curtains up and looking so cute!  They really brought the purples together.  Thank goodness because they looked scary when we first started painting.  I was questioning my ability to choose colors properly.

Also, this is where the futon mattress got squeezed into today.  It is a really comfy couch area with soft and fuzzy pillows...I'll post pics later...

This is showing the linoleum and the paint colors.  You're probably thinking "eww gross green oven!"  But you're wrong...it's cute and the green paisleys in the curtains matches the oven so perfectly.  Everything really has been coming together well this week.  :)








My big moments of the week were putting the couch frame back in place, running the jig saw, installing a new door knob, and using the electric drill on every screw I could use it on; these were things I did mostly on my own. That drill really makes things a breeze!

So this is just a little peak of Bell's inside.  As of tonight, Friday, at 10, the inside was done.  It just needs to be swept out before we take it to the fair grounds.  The table won't be set up, though, because we don't have the hardware to do so.  Tomorrow when the lighting is better and I can stage things I'll take pictures and share them as soon as I can!!
