I really CAN scream like a little girl!

  I hope this guy just found his way in through the door, because I found a nest. A BIG nest that looks like it's abandoned but might not be. I will post the pic of the HUGE nest I found  later. I was a tad too scared after this bugger to actually take a picture.

I worked so hard and made no progress?

   Well, I busted %*@ today and I didn't make any progress. At least that's how it feels. We had loaned our ladder out to a friend, so I couldn't get on the roof. Today, instead of working on the seals, I pulled up linoleum. I had finished the bedroom last night. Here is where I started today:

That is the hallway in front of the bathroom and closet, and the kitchen/living room. I got about 90% done with the floors today.

  When I "gave up" today I had pulled up all that linoleum you see. I had also drilled out all the rivets for the panel where I need to work. Here it is:

   This panel leads to the other side of the dent outside. There is a HUGE dent that I suspect might be the cause of the leak. Once I pound it out from the inside, I expect it should solve the problem:

   This would be ok, if I did not find something that looks like another leak in the front of the airstream. I looks like they just screwed another piece of wood on top of the rot up front to cover it up. UGH! Why? But I didn't see it until I pulled up the linoleum under the couch. I am a bit worried about that one. I won't know how bad it is until I get all the linoleum up from the front. Sigh.....I can do this. I know I can, but with every new problem I just think, "1 more week added till this is finished." But, really, I got this, YO! Sorry, I've been watching a lot of Breaking Bad". No!!! I won't apologize for watching "Breaking Bad" EVER!

In the beginning...

I started working on the Airstream yesterday. Everything was taken out of the bedroom. EVERYTHING. It is completely empty in there. All the linoleum is gone from the bedroom, and I'm trying to get to the rest of the linoleum out of the rest of the place.

   I need to get the stuff I cleaned out of the bedroom completely out of the airstream, as it is currently stored in the living room. My friend Mickey's husband came over and helped me with a lot of things. First, he explained to me how to  repair that rotted wood in the back right corner near the electrical box. But...the bad news. The leak has to be fixed first. He gave me some ideas where it might be. It isn't the window in the back. We don't think, at least. Since it appears to be on the right half of the window and over to the right under the second window.
  There is a dent over on that side of the airstream on the outside. I'm going to rip out that panel on the inside and pound it back out. Get up on the roof and seal up any seams that might be leaking up there. Finally, I'm going to reseal that window which might leak be leaking. Won't hurt to reseal it even if it isn't leaking. All of this after what feels like a long derby practice this morning. It wasn't that long, but I had a migraine this morning and it feels like I got hit by a truck after one of those.
  Oh, also....I apparently have dirt daubers nests in my AC "squirrel cage" and maybe my furnace. But now I know how to clean it. I might could finish that this weekend. I do often tend to over extend myself. There is a lot of work to be done.
