Geet's Candy Coating Exterior

Geet's newly painted exterior has gotten at least one coat of colour on all four sides.  

We interrupt this 'remodel' to allow both of my wrists heal.  

I fell off the ladder reaching for my little tool that I left up on the roof.  

I'm drinking coffee from a straw as my wrists ache too much to hold a cup.

Should be back at it in a couple of hours.

Tomorrow I know I'm going to pay bigtime for that fall of today.

Spent the day up on the roof of Geet  - busy digging out the old silicone, tar and unknown roofing 'stuff'. 

The previous owners did their best to try to prevent leaks, but removing all the layers is the only way to start over so that the new interior walls and ceilings have a chance at not getting wet again thru exterior leakage. 

 Using my trusty Dremel tool, chisel and sheer brut strength, I was successful in removing one entire side of 'roof gunk'. 

 Squid came out to give me a hand by doing first coat on the back end of Geet .

Thanks Squid for helping out - Geet's back end looks great!

It's raining today so the second coat of paint can't go on yet - so I'm stuck inside the house cleaning floors and cupboard - boo hiss.

Tomorrow it's suppose to be nice weather again so I'll resume 2nd coat of painting then - I need to kick start this reno on Geet into high gear because my sister-in-law Andrea-Fudge-Ka-Fa needs to stay in this camper next summer when she comes up from Arizona to laze around Clear Lake with me!  And it will be a perfect spot for my parents or sister to stay in when they come visit me at camp next summer.  Another bonus to having two camers at camp is that our Camp Gardener and all around Camp Super-Mom Liz can move into either camper during the weeks she's up at camp in the years to come.  She's such fun and having this extra camper up at camp will mean Liz can stay longer than just a few weeks each summer!

 I can still see pink bleeding thru that front section so I might have to paint that section the Scotty Aqua as well - I'm ok with that.

 Still need to sand some more where I put in the liquid metal from the two spots where part of the old TV antenna use to be.

 Poor Geet - she's looks like she's blinking- I need to get a piece of replacement glass for that front window - for now I justput up the lip of the overhang thingy that use to be affixed over the side door.

I have a tarp over the top & side to protect her from the rain as I removed the

roof vent & side fridge vents to close off and paint over.  I'm such a handy girl.

Geet's Getting Painted - finally!!

Here is Geet before...

 Faded white & blue

Not hardly any paint on back end except for the
previous owners custom painted disney campfire image

The pink front end is proving to require more than
two coats as it was originally stale yellow, then pink, now white.

 But the first coat on the driver side went on pretty smooth,
and my patches with liquid metal from where the old antenna hook up was
turned out great.

 Decided to split the front end into white-aqua-white

 The tint is a shade more Scotty Aqua  then Scotty Blue but I like it.
