Prepping for 2011!!!

So...........In the middle of trying to get a house built, pay for Christmas, pay for snowmobiling and racing, and of course............work itself, I have been trying to get the trailer ready for racing so I don't have to spend the kids inheritance on hotel stays. Needless to say, I should have started earlier this year so I didn't have to begin my ordeal just trying to figure out how to get to the trailer. It's coming along good though, and should be a cozy home-away-from-home before too long. I'm really hoping this will help get Rosa and the kids to a few more races. It's been pretty hard to coordinate things, but with her new schedule and hopefully some fresh amenities in the trailer things will work out more often.

This was after the storm a week before Thanksgiving. Although I was thankful for all the snow, it only got worse after it snowed a couple more times.
Midway through digging 'Big Blue' and 'Little Blacky' out of their snow prison. Big thanks to the boss for letting me play with the skidster for a couple days. Very beneficial all-around.

The shop area. Most of the work here is outside trailer lighting. I am going to put more cabinets, a work bench, lights/outlets and a stereo system in as well.

The 'Living Quarters' project. New insulation, paneling, lighting/outlets, cabinets, and whatever else I can find $$$ for. It's nice for lounging, watching movies, changing clothes, etc... Still working on the whole 'where we going to put the chitter idea' ;)

The start of the insulation. After doing the walls and ceiling, and a nice layer of carpet/pad on the floor we should be able to wear shorts and t-shirts in this little sauna. Windows are in the future, but just couldn't pull it off with such short time and small resources. Oh, well....


I'll keep posting pics as I progress. Racing isn't too far away which is good and bad. At least the sled is ready to rock and the snow is falling. Everyone's healthy and we still have jobs to be able to enjoy the things we love. Doesn't get much better than that!!! Pray for SNOW!!!!!
