Two Airheads

Hey there!  I'm guessing if you are reading this, there is a pretty good chance you already know who we are.

Two Airheads on a mountain

If not, we are Molly and Lee, the Two Airheads who decided to buy an Airstream travel trailer for full time living.  About a year ago, we were sitting on the couch in our apartment and started talking about alternative living situations.  At the time, my aunt and uncle were traveling up the California coast in their Volkswagen van.  Both Lee and I brought up the fact that we wanted to do something like that.  Somehow, one of us mentioned an Airstream travel trailer, and a dream was born.  

Anyone who knows me, knows that I come up with a lot of ideas.  I think I say "Hold on, I've got an idea" at least ten times a day.  Rarely do those ideas every come to fruition.  Anyone who knows Lee knows that once he decides to do something, it's going to happen.  Put this together, and in November of 2015, we bought our Airstream.

The Rig in all it's glory!

"Lucy" is a 1977, 31' Airstream Sovereign with a rear bath.  We were fortunate enough to find her in Bath Maine, and fell in love, despite the yellow carpet in the bathroom and bright orange slipcovers on all of the furniture.  There was the scent of dead mouse inside, but not as terrible as one would expect from a 39 year old lady.  Because it was in such great condition, our original plan was to remove the grossest stuff, spend a summer living in it, and then renovate more. If only.....

The more we ripped out, the more we realized there was always a grosser level below what we had just removed.  Once we finally had it parked in our back yard, we went to town on it and stripped it down to the bare wires and exterior aluminum sheeting.

All of this had to go

And that brings us to now!  We are in the process of rebuilding and have less than a month until we are living in it full time!  This blog will be a way to show people what we decided to do with renovating our new living space, and as a way to stay in touch as we start our mobile adventure.
