Step #2 Make it even cuter...

I know what you're thinking... "Why in the world did she even create this Blog if she is not ever going to Blog?"  Yes,I know, it has been a while. Between the traveling, work, sickness, and the never ending Spring rain season, I have not been able to do much work on this little Beauty.
Finally, this past weekend I got a my chance, and BOY did I work!
First of all there were a few spots that needed a little attention, the front panel had a little buckle in it so I got out my handy dandy screw driver and took out the screws that were holding it in place, flattened it out and put the screws back.
Also there was a piece of rotted wood underneath the trailer that the tin was supposed to be attached to, so I replaced it, 
and after doing that I noticed that there was a split in the tin that needed to be fixed, which was probably the cause of the rotted wood, so I found this silver tape at Lowes, that is made for metal fixes on campers and boats, and is water proof which the Lowes employee said I could paint over, so we'll see how that works out.
Now, the next step was to wash her, and tape off my areas to paint.

Since it was a very hot and muggy day, I thoroughly enjoyed the washing her down part, I was a hot sweaty mess!
Next came the part I was super excited to get started, this part took me 3 days...


2 coats of white paint...



And 2 coats of RED!!! 

Doesn't she look Gorgeous!!!!
I am so thrilled with how it turned out.. 
Now on to the interior!,
 I have ordered my fabric for curtains and cushions, since it will take a week to receive them, I am off to buy some paint for the walls and cabinets. 
Check back in a couple days for more Photo's
