This cutie is now SOLD. Ah, yes I know it's hard to believe that I'm actually putting Buttercup up for sale! It's a hard decision and I may change my mind and pull the ads at anytime! My reason for selling her is simple because I have another dream I'd like to pursue and while I don't HAVE to sell her to make that dream happen, it would likely happen quicker if I did … [Read more...]

Today was a busy day! We tore out the ceiling birch around the vent and on the front wall above the counter. We then put new birch in. The framing looked good around the vent so we didn't need to replace it. That was a nice surprise. We still have the trim to do but we ran out of birch so off to get more soon. Next we'll put up a back splash, install a subfloor, stain … [Read more...]

I've been asked before if I think there is a benefit to adding diamond plating to the front of our Shasta Compact. The answer I would give would be a definite yes! Diamond plate offers protection to that lower front area on your trailer. That area is so prone to rocks and various debris flying up and hitting it. Thus, producing dings and dents on the skin. The … [Read more...]
Guess what founds it's way hitched to my bumper last night? A 1963 Shasta Compact with original birch interior. Overall it's in very good shape and I can tell the previous owners took care of it. The tires are like new. It does have a bit of A-typical water damage around the roof vent but the leak it had was repaired and it doesn't leak now. It also has some previous … [Read more...]
