I started this posting almost 2 years ago and although I have a lot of ideas about changing out my trailer, it has just far been a pipe dream. The problem now is that my 10 year old son is now 11 and soon to be 12 years old. Once upon a time, when I was a home owner, I said that the purpose of a sofa bed was to motivated all guest to leave as soon as possible.
My son as been tortured with a sofa bed for to long, so it is time for me to start making changes. I have started finding weak areas in my floor, I have no electricity to any of the 110v sockets in the master bedroom, my hot water heater is leaking, and the list goes on.
I was reading over some of the posting, and although I would love to tear apart my trailer, since we are currently living in the trailer, the ability to move to the trailer for refurb is not going to happen. So I need to come up with a action plan to so making things work.
I think that phase one of this rebuild is the master bedroom. I wonder what the planned idea of the master bedroom was. I have a Queen side bed that fills the entire room with maybe 2 1/2' on either side of the bed, and I can't even go around the front of the bed.
I believe if I remove the overhanging cabinets and the side cabinets, purchase a bunk bed with a full on top and a queen (full) on the bottom (placing the fresh water tank and pump under the queen below) and turn the bed 90 degrees, I think with that I could then have a small dresser, a desk and wall mount the TV. That would make for a functional bedroom and a major milestone!
I guess I am just writing this down for my own edification, because it is 0430 and my mind is grinding right now, but it anyone has any ideas or thoughts, I would appreciate any responses. I unfortunately thought that shop classes were beneath me. How so wrong I was!!!
