The GT (Globetrotter) sat in our garage over the winter (yes, in true Montana style, our garage might just be bigger than our house). I have teased our friend Nate for being 'Super-Size' on anything from trucks, tents, dogs, clip sticks, etc...Having moved to Montana (where Nate is from), I have come to appreciate and actively participate in this super-sizing ethos...but alas, I digress back to the tin can. With all this liquid sunshine, I got antsy....I went into the super size garage and walked into the GT and started to hear little voices telling me 'Gut Gut Gut'.
Notice the really swanky carpet...not so sure that was even in style back when shag carpet was rocking floors everywhere!
All good things must come to an end, and in this case poor tasted things should have an even shorter shelf life....
The gutting began and continued for a few days (trying to be careful not to pull the vinyl walls off so we could salvage the bones of our beloved tin can.
Once everything was pulled apart, the cleaning, priming, painting began...or the clarification should be that was when the analysis paralysis began...ohh what should the color choice be
I slaved away and inhaled the pungent odors of oil based paints while losing a few brain cells in the process (to the point where I kept forgetting where we made plans to eat later in the day), the dogs were checking their eyelids for leaks and making sure that the couch did not get up and run away!
I fear we are still in the initial stages of all this, but we have painted the inside now (more pics to come) and Erin's mom has been nice enough to offer to help sewing the new curtains...
The GT should pretty much be ready to go just in time for the winter where it will once again be relegated to our super-size garage! At this rate we might be able to use it next summer!
