We’ve started on the drywall and the floors now. I would love to say the drywall was a beautiful experience but holy crap was I ever frustrated with that drill. No issues now, I’ve moved on, and I don’t expect this is the last project that I will be working on so we will meet again.

Each time we do work on the interior we have to unload the trailer, do the work, then load everything back in… needless to say each time it gets more organized, practical, and it honestly starts to feel bigger. It might be without trim for a while on the inside but painting and staining day is coming! This is the first time either of us have ventured into something like this, so the work is definitely what I would call “homemade”, but I promise my vision is coming to a reality and it’s looking good! 


I was trying to decide what to do for the floor. As construction continued I decided that I (which ended up being Ben) was going to just sand off the ick on the floor and ramp door and I will work on staining them so I have a “hard wood floor” look. I saw a fellow “micro-liver” do this on a YouTube video and thought it may work, look good, and save money in the long run. Fingers crossed!

On another note, here is another stunning Colorado sunset…

What I am also in the middle of trying to figure out is how we are going to have the bed set up in trailer. The mattress we have in there currently is your standard queen size, and it takes up way. to. much. space. SO. I’ve been looking into some space saver beds/couches and I’ve had luck, but haven’t quite found the “one” that clicks. I’m mostly doing online searches, and planning on having to possibly save up for a better quality one, but I want to make sure that we like it and its going to work for us! Since both of us are rather tall, the length matters a lot… I think we can get away with the width only being about the size of a double, but we cannot really skimp on the length.

I’ve ALSO been pouring over Pinterest looking for shower/bath/sink/kitchen combos and seeing how others have done it, or even if they have done it. Some trailers just skip the shower/bathroom idea because of the lack of space, however, with enough time to think and plan, I believe we can come up with some clever options. It’s really nice that in the mean time we are parked in an area that gives us a place to take care of all of that, and also work on the construction without worry of any issues arising.

I want everything to look good, put together, and still be homey and stylish, so I am okay with taking as much time as I need to perfect it all. We have the time, so we may as well use it.

Happy Monday! 🙂
