shasta astroflyte skip to main skip to sidebar shasta astroflyte wednesday october 1 2008 the arrival september 26 2008 i found one these are the words that greeted me upon answering my phone that afternoon my wife had spotted an old camper somewhere while i was innocently at work and had accepted it as her own the moment she laid eyes upon it we re going to look at it when you get home i took this to mean that it was for sale and having spoken to someone she had agreed upon a time to look at it this was quickly dispelled as she coached me on what to say when i was to blindly knock on a stranger s door to inquire about the camper that lay dormant on their property after striking a deal with the owner and coercing my friend on his wedding anniversary to help me tow the camper from it s resting place at night in the pouring rain we finally cut down the tree that that had grown around the camper with a chainsaw borrowed from the owner the estimated number of years that it had been sitting there rotting in the shadows ten ten years just imagine we then dragged it home behind my friend s dump truck in the cover of darkness with no license plate did i mention that is was pouring rain the scene that first arrival night is a great representation of what was yet to come for us over the 12 months and still counting that were to follow during the resurrection of this poor forgotten camper posted by the toaster at 12 51 am no comments labels adventures friends life projects vintage camper tuesday september 30 2008 fools rush in here are some pictures of the camper s condition when it arrived for many moldy mildewed rotten and soiled reasons the gutting promptly began that same evening we inherited all the previous owner s inventory crib mattress television toilet waste tank and lawn chair cushions included really it was a well appointed interior don t you think this was a particularly cozy area the back bed such a shame that scent can t be transmitted through the computer the smell of this thing is something that will never leave our memory ever can you imagine sleeping here fortunately or unfortunately however you choose to view it we could imagine sleeping here one day one day far away from now in a faraway campground and under very different interior design circumstances posted by the toaster at 8 42 pm no comments labels adventures projects vintage camper sunday september 28 2008 opening night just in case you hadn t seen enough behold a few more lively views of the camper s condition on the morning after it arrived by that evening a trailer load of rubble and debris had been removed from the camper the face mask 100 necessary really if not for the dust for smell protection alone this roof area was already caving in and the rest of it came down like butter very gratifying really posted by the toaster at 11 14 pm no comments labels adventures projects vintage camper saturday september 27 2008 act i by the end of day 2 there was a large pile of debris blocking the entrance to the camper the only entrance as we tore the rubble out we found more and more deterioration rot and filth did i mention that it was still pouring rain ever handled wet pink fiberglass insulation 40 year old insulation good times for all sadly some of the artwork is no longer with us this may be the floor being torn out but by then all of the surfaces had begun to look and smell the same this is the trailer that we loaded only to unload in the rain because the trailer needed to be taken back by the man we borrowed it from in the rain when the sun came up the next morning the rain had slowed and what was left behind was a sad reminder of what we had endured the night before and a sign that the neighborhood was quickly going down the tubes yep this was our front yard view for a few days until we could get it cleaned up and then we continued to demolish the interior in the rain right down to the aluminum skin when we had to employ the crow bar on the old linoleum floor we learned that the sub floor was a total loss at that point to our fortune or misfortune depending on how you look at it we didn t realize or accept that the entire camper was a total loss it might have been right around this time that we created the 4 week plan to total renovation ha posted by the toaster at 11 43 pm no comments labels adventures life projects vintage camper friday september 26 2008 act ii now we had the thing stripped to the bare metal and the entire outer shell had to be removed and lifted off the base in order to completely replace the rotten floor the black poles are holding up the entier outer shell so that the floor can be worked on in sections once the new floor was braced in we filled the spaces with insulation before laying new subfloor this was a big feat and took weeks working in the sub zero temperatures outside in the maine winter are you getting the feeling of how fun this was posted by the toaster at
