Color on the inside

The interior is starting to get some color. I decided to paint the ceiling tan and the walls a rust color. After I had the walls and ceiling painted it looked like to much rust, so I changed my mind about the front end cap and painted it the same tan color as the ceiling. I'm pretty happy with the results at this point. The pictures make it look pretty orange, but it is more of a warm color. I hung a window screen up against the front curbside window to see what it looks like against the wall and I love it. The small window below this window has some aluminum trim that will also be sanded or painted silver and will match the screen. I think I might change the color of the valances above the window and paint them tan just to give it more of a contrast. I'm starting to get there. Soon I can get some flooring and start the cabinets.

Primed for an adventure

I primed the interior walls today. I thoroughly cleaned the walls with Simple Green cleaner. I did this a few times to get rid of the sticky feeling that had built up over the years. I did a bunch of research about how to prep the walls for paint. In the end I purchased some adhesion primer from Sherwin Williams. This stuff will stick to anything. They had a sample in the store that they had painted on a piece of shinny tile.

An electrifiying condition

I spent some time tonight replacing all of the outlets in the trailer. The process was fairly simple. I purchased some shallow boxes from Home Depot. The electrical outlets that were in the trailer did not look safe. The wires were just pushed into the outlet and in my opinion it looked unsafe. The hole in the wall from the original outlests is smaller than a standard size outlet. I needed to enlarge the holes. After the hole was enlarged, I stripped the wire and screwed the box to the wall. Not much else to say about this. I also replaced the outside outlet.
