Looking Better.
The opium den named Scooter is looking better on Day 4 or 5 or I forgot which day I'm on now of the camper rebuild.
The back of Scooter didn't look as bad as I first thought, or maybe my standards have been sufficiently lowered for the task at hand. Given how low they were to start with, that's probably not a good thing. At a certain point I had to turn a blind eye to rot and things that looked "off", because there's no way I could fix everything that's wrong here. I'm hoping for relatively well-sealed, dry, and non-explosive. Everything else is just icing on the cake. Words like "pretty" and "well-crafted" do not apply.
Still, there's a certain amount of pride to be found in the work here. Just making it less dingy and brighter probably is the most immediate point of satisfaction, although there's something to be said for the ability to touch a wall and not have it give way in a sickeningly squishy manner. That's always nice.
I still have a laundry list of things I need to do, and no time to complete even the major things before the holiday weekend. I'm hoping for "non-death trap" status by then, but I'm not 100% sure I can even meet that standard in my available window of opportunity.
We shall see...
Oh, and riding ain't gonna happen until this thing is gone.
Crap.
