Restoring The Deville Part 9

Part 9 of a series following the long and tedious job of restoring a canned ham trailer. In this part we him and haw about one job and then decide to do another. Hey! This is the way it really goes sometimes when you have a life also...

Hey, I know this video is from over two years ago but I was wondering if maybe I could ask you a few questions about my current restoration project I'm doing. Its a slide in truck camper. Hopefully you read this

@sirius8u Sure you may ask. Don]t know if I can answer but I will give it my best shot.

Hi Mobiltec

I remember these winds growing up in Ontario. My brothers & I would jump up one at a time to see how far it would blow us. If we went too far we would run and catch each other. We thought it was great fun then. We would not do this when the wind was over 70 MPH, as that would be terminal!

It's so great to have you working on the Deville again. I will be working on my ceiling in the near future too. So I'll just watch you, then use your tips 'n how to's. Keep goin'.

Bye,

Sharon R

"Keep goin'"

Thanks Sharon. I'm just finishing up the top removal video now. I can't believe it's finally off... Stay Tuned!

I lived in a trailer park a few years back and 1 Sunday as I was nappin on the couch a lady from across the street beat on my door and said her roof was blowin off. I looked and the wind had takin half the roof and folded it over, this was a 14x72 Clayton. Insulation was blowin all over the place. There wasn't anything I could do, later her hubby and a friend got it back over and was sittin on the edge, a big gust came up and catapulted them into the next mobile. 1 broken pelvis 1 leg broke.

"1 broken pelvis 1 leg broke."

And people think skydiving is dangerous... :)

There was also neck braces for all and broken collar bones but the brown shirts at YT only give me 500 characters.
