Starting From Scratch

It all started with an idea. The idea grew. And now it's a tangible thing.


So, we have the trailer...and we are really turning this thing into a food cart....a kitchen on wheels!  And, God willing, it's going to be the bomb.  This picture above is the original shell...a 1967 Shasta Trailer, completely gutted and in need of some major TLC.  After a little bit of demo...and a lot of unscrewing, hammering, patching and calking...we have progress.
With the inside secure, and the foundation water tight, let the fun begin!


We have the service window cut out and a place for people to come up and order their food.  Everything used for construction this week was donated or purchased from a scrap material store...($5 windows, CHECK!)

It's a start.

Did I mention this week's construction was done in the pouring down rain??

  1. Anything worth doing is worth doing in the pouring down rain!! As John Steinbeck said: "I've lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate."
    Keep on bloggin', HMR!
