This past Saturday we got a chance to make it back to Lockhart Family Farm to continue working on updating the 1976 airstream that our friends, Josiah and Jocelyn, recently purchased to house on the farm. Upon arrival we were excited to meet all the new faces around the farm — beginning with these little rare breed chicks: Josiah and his son, Alexander, were excited to show us their new baby pigs. It was a bit of a walk down to the wooded area where they stay, so we got a chance to take in all beautiful farm sights and sounds along the way. We said hello to the farm goats and turkeys: We even got a chance to see the newest additions to the farm — their 10-day old baby mulefoot piglets: These little guys were a lot of fun to get a peek at. Momma pig even let us close enough to see then entire family for a bit: Over the past couple of weeks Josiah has made progress by installing new screens in the back of the camper with a galvanized spray finish around the trim, peeled away all the faux tinting previously adhered to the windows (which helps brighten up the entire space), and cleaned out all the overhead lighting: Our main priority for this trip was to get a good first coat of fresh white paint over the priming we'd completed last time. We went with a latex based interior paint in an eggshell finish so it would be easy to keep clean and still feel fresh. It's amazing how much a thick coat of paint can transform and brighten a space: We plan to paint the cabinets and remaining upper storage console in a light sandy/gray hue down the road and we were able to start priming in preparation for a few of those areas — gotta love my "paint face:" While we tackled the walls, Josiah cracked open the can of chalkboard paint we brought along to begin updating the original refrigerator in the camper: The original fridge had been covered in a pretty awesomely dated wooden veneer: We decided to give it a modern update by adding chalkboard paint and have plans to keep this veneered surface in other areas of the camper — just not overkill and everywhere! Jocelyn prepped the fridge with painters tape and after a few quick and easy coats with a brush, we were ready to call this little update complete! We think it will be a fun space to include welcome messages to potential visitors and expect we'll see some pretty fantastic artwork left on it after their stay: Outside of painting, we tested out a few ideas we have in store for future camper updates, like a faux tin tile backsplash in the kitchen: We'd come across the faux ceiling tile sheets made of plastic at the local hardware store and loved the idea of creating a backsplash out of them in the camper — here's a view of the back for context: We bought one to bring with us to see if they'd work out and gauge how many we'd need. They're super flexible, which is perfect for bending along the curve of the airstream wall as we'd hoped: We'll plan to pick up a few more of the sheets and install the backsplash during a future trip — it was exciting to know they'll work in the space and we're eager to see what the final outcome might look like. While working, we also uncovered a few surprises. We discovered that one of the previously mysterious interior light switches powered up this original exterior light: We also found this original pull-down shade hidden in a cubby in the front of the camper, which we liked so much we'll plan to keep it for added privacy: But probably the biggest surprise of the day was when Josiah unknowingly discovered this pull-out work surface from in-between the two storage cabinets in the kitchen area: It was like discovering an entirely new counter space to work with in there. Since the camper is still new to Josiah and Jocelyn, we joked that they'll probably be uncovering little surprises like this for a long time to come! At the end of the day, we left off looking a little something like this: Which feels like solid progress from where we initially started: Here's the current view facing the back of the camper where we've left off: Compared with where we started: There's still much work to do, but we're having a lot of fun getting there along the way. As we've mentioned in previous posts, Josiah and Jocelyn have plans to rent out the camper on AirBnB as a place to stay on the farm. Check out the camper's listing at a discounted rate right here while undergoing renovations for more interior pictures and progress along the way!

Stripping! and not the kind that requires single dollar bills. The walls of my Argosy are a vinyl clad aluminum and from what the forums at airstreamforums.com have proclaimed - it is a burdensome task. So of course I procrastinated, fearing the daunting obstacle before me but eyeing the prize at the end... a beautiful shiny aluminum interior.When I finally got around to it, I decided to try different strippers; I went to Home Depot and picked up Jasco Paint & Epoxy stripper and I already had Klean-Strip stripper. It's probably a good thing to mention this right at the beginning, if you ever plan on using this stuff seriously use gloves and long sleeves shirts... this stuff BURNS if it gets on your skin. The Jasco will burn temporarily and go away, the Klean-Strip however burns and burns and doesn't stop burning, even if you use soap and water - you will have to use a grease based remover. Needless to say I ended up only using the Jasco. I removed the side cabinets/wall thing where the table is and tried the Jasco on a small square area. I used a razor to cut crisscross slits into the vinyl so the stripper could have an easier time penetrating it. I covered the area with plastic and waited... and waited. About 40 minutes later I removed the plastic and voila, off came the vinyl with little effort to expose the gorgeous aluminum. However, I then realize I've made a drastic mistake... I cut way too deep with the razor and ended up scratching the aluminum!!! Epic fail because there is no way to fix scratches much less the extremely deep ones I just graffiti-ed onto my Argosy. Sigh, luckily I was smart enough to do the test area behind where the cabinet wall was so no one can see it. I'm thinking of etching my name in there. before after After the scratch mishap, I decided to use saw blade teeth to penetrate the top portion of the vinyl and that worked well, except every once in a while I would apply too much pressure and then end up scratching the aluminum. SO after hitting the ground running with this, I decided to stop using the covering plastic or any kind of tool to scratch the vinyl and just use copious amounts of stripper.... Copious. Amounts. That seemed to work fine as well. before after This has been a 3-day process (mostly trial and error) and I should finish the stripping by the end of today. Then I can start the polish and buffing. This is Steve and his friend Brock, Steve works at Home Depot and helped me figure what stripper to get. I told him about my project and he was so excited about it he offered to come help out! Very cool guys. Instagram: jeep_chica
