A little Sunny update since its been awhile and because I want to share all the good, ugly and all the hiccups we hit along the way. Not just a before and after. This is a complete labor of love. Something I've dreamed about for years. My husband and I started interior demo in October after we had her exterior painted by our close friend Jerry. We thought she was gonna be a quick flip but shes old and sometimes Marketplace isnt as straight forward as one would hope. Unfortunetly she was in real bad shape. Literally crumbling in spots. All the damage was hidden so this is not something we could have forseen. We stopped...I cried...ALOT...for a couple weeks rethinking all my choices up to that point. I felt like my dream was being crushed and this was not gonna happen and now here I am stuck with a torn apart trailer that no one was gonna want...STRESSED...I wasted our money on something that was now destined for the dump yard. Then in walks a sweet young man named Ian (who works on RVs for a living)...a friend of a retired firefighter that worked with my husband. I sent him some pics...he assured he had seen worse. He came out took a look and said...its all fixable!! So we came up with a plan and he hooked her up and took her home. This is new to him as well...a complete conversion from a vintage trailer to a bar...but he was up for the challenge! Hes been working on her in his spare time...outside in the cold...keeping us updated and has her looking pretty good! All new steardy floor, rot replaced, serving window is cut and he will be running all new electric, relocating outlets and the main outdoor pulg for the generator, replacing the insulation and putting up new walls...phew. Then we will take her back and start primping her up and turn her into the gorgeous badass bitch I know she is destined to be!! Im not sure how so many amazing people keep coming into the Tipsy Tully's life but I am truly blessed! This is a journey and not an easy one but it will be that much sweeter in the end! SPRING 2026 is looking to be her big reveal and I cannot wait!
