Got a good start on the passenger side paint job today. Ran out of paint so we went back to the trailer tail end. Solid day overall.

6/27/2021

So, we have been a little laxed in posting this week, but today was pretty awesome! Finally got the rear wing complete and started the glass reinforcing. Things are really starting to look up here at the motor pool.

6/9/2020

Day two of the main flooring install. Still spending a lot of time waiting for primer to dry but, the floor is coming along nicely. We were about half way by the end of the day.

6/8/2020

So, today was the day to start the flooring. Boy did this not go as planned! 

The epoxy was very open after the sanding and it swallowed up the first coat of adhesive primer so, we put on a second coat on for good measure. Worked out very well in the end. The only down side was the dry time of better than 90 minutes per coat with the humidity being as high as it has been lately. Then there is the factor of Soldier A's short arms. He could only lay two foot sections at a time.  😂

Guess we will be doing flooring tomorrow as well.

6/7/2020

Finally got the rest of the floor sanded as flat as it can be. Working on his hands and knees for the last few days has left soldier A walking around like a hunch back.  😂 But, it's now ready for the final flooring tomorrow.

5/30/2020

Got the final road base layer down and compacted today which allowed the rebar to get started. There was also the regular yard maintenance to be done so, it was an awesome day overall.

4/11/2020

Covid is still keeping us on lock down at the motor pool, but that just means getting more stuff done. today was lots more epoxy. 

Then Soldier A had to come to grips with the fact that no matter how much he hates to paint it was time to start sucking it up and put time in the bathroom prepping and priming the case work. All together a really good day.

The new matching rubbed bronze shower fixtures came in today. The color matched fixtures and fittings are going to look awesome when finished.

4/5/2020

Finished sanding out the refer compartment and it came out really nice. Going to clean up the mess tomorrow and throw on the first coat of primer. Safe night to everyone.

4/4/2020

With the lock down continuing we are being responsible and staying inside the motor pool compound. This isn't a bad thing though. Stuff continues to get done every day.

Today was more sanding and prep for primer. Not very glamourous but it has to get done. 😂😂

We also got the second coat of primer on in the hanging closet area.

4/3/2020

Got the area that will be the hanging close and boot closet all sanded and ready for primer today. Primer tomorrow and we are still waiting for our paint samples to try out our sponge painting plan.

While all the sanding was going on we also rolled out the last three heavy coats of epoxy in the refrigerator compartment. Now that area of the floor is ready for block sanding in preparation for the floor tiles.

A quick side note on tools and equipment. The new 20 volt Dewalt cordless sander hooked to the shop vac is a real pleasure to use, unless overhead of course. It's probably 90% or more dust free. 😁
 

4/2/2020

More progress today while dealing with the horrible things are happening on the globe. Our best wishes to everyone.

We got a lot more work done on preparing for the floor installation. Floated out the pass through areas and block sanded the first section of main floor in preparation for the final three coats of epoxy that we are going to apply.

Once all of the main floor gets the three coats we will block it out one last time and then prime it for the floor tiles.

Lots more epoxy on the walls today as well as the ceiling. Also a bit more work on the entertainment cabinet. Hope everyone is being as safe as possible.

 

3/27/2020

With all this Covid-19 BS going on we are way behind on posting progress reports on the Dragon Wagon. That doesn't mean there hasn't been any. With the first part of our event season, at the least, we have turned the majority of our attention towards  Tiffany.

We will try and catch up as quickly as possible.

3/2/2020 A

So, this morning is a casting call for any of our friends that want to bring their hotrods, min trucks, or classic ride out to the Bonney Lake Grocery Outlet to be in a infomercial about the charity car show in Tacoma on May 2nd.

We will be shooting Wednesday March 4th in the afternoon.

3/1/2020

Great day with help from our neighbor D! Got all the scales stripped back off the Dragon Wagon Too trailer. 

While that was going on Soldier A was unpacking and setting up his new miter saw. He was like a kid at Christmas! But, after he settled down he got the bathroom ceiling done.

2/27/2020

Yesterday was devoted to chores around the motor pool. Today was back to the bathroom in the Mega Camper. Got the last two walls done and still had time to install the last section of ceiling now that the DOT lights are installed. 

2/25/2020

Got the largest wall of the bathroom skinned today. Doing it by himself, Soldier A said it was a bit tricky and he thought he lost it a couple of times. In the end it came out awesome. The bathroom in Tiffany is coming out better than the one in our house.😂

2/24/2020

Bathroom is moving forward along with everything else. Looks we got a bad virus season ahead of us.

2/22/2020 -B

Got more time in on the paracord inventory which is going to be our biggest and best ever. We are starting to have sore hands again.

Now for the progress of the day. 👍 We tested the new temporary shower unit and it worked well. Hot showers even before we finish the plumbing. Yay!

Finished the rest of the sanding in the bathroom followed by a boat load of cleanup and prep work for the installation of the final laminated goods. Pay off was worth every sore muscle.

Got the main floor cut glued and installed. Soldier A being himself did the install without a respirator and went to bed with a glue hangover. That's on him!
