tires, moldings and such

It has finally happened! Except for a few small details the inside of the camper is finished!!!!

We (he), are now working on the outside.  Andy just put on the first piece of molding last night, and it looks great! The picture i took doesn't do it justice but i will post it anyway.

BTW the molding is Blue, that is the accent color on the Big Rolling Turd :) Oh and i don't want to forget to mention the screws,notice they are silver colored, Andy was really worried that they wouldn't look right because the old ones were painted white on the screw head. Well, when they were pulled off all we saw was the rust color that took over the white paint.  I keep telling him the silver is great, at least these won't rust, and who is going to get that close to it and say uh oh, those are the wrong screws??

So, the tires...I know that i have already talked about how the mens theory is that this thing had a blow out at one point and that is where we found one of the larger water leaks to be. Well when Andy pulled off the tires to lift the camper and put it on jack stands he noticed that the tires were in even worse shape than we thought, shocking, hardly. :)

 This is a photo of one of the old tires. They were actually bursting and you could see the metal inside the tires, that is what the tan looking spots are!  I can't believe they actually made it home from the auction site in Maine! This thing was not safe at all to be on the road!!


She (?), now has 4 brand new tires pictured below.  They are not actually on the turd yet, but I am sure at some point Andy will put them on, when will that be honey???
He has ordered some kind of middle cap so that the tires look better, still not sure what they even look like or what he is actually talking about. I will post more on that when they come in the mail though, with a new pict of what they look like on the tires.
