The Build Log for Serenity, my cargo trailer conversion.

1.03 Gutted

Tyler Disney June 23, 2017

All of the wall plywood and floor plywood is now out. The only bits left are the two doors, but I'm going to leave those for the moment. 

The frame rust, now that I can see all of it, really isn't as bad as I feared. I'll wire brush it and do the POR-15 rust treatment so this trailer can stay on the road for years to come.

Also, I picked up the tow vehicle on Wednesday:

I live in a small metal box on wheels.

This is where I write about the construction process and the experience living in it.
