I could barely sleep the night before dropping off the trailer to get the branding done.
Partly because I really loathe backing the trailer up. I was really having some anxiety about having to park it into the sign shop's warehouse bay.

I get there first thing in the morning and try backing the 'ol Airstream into the bay and it ain't going to happen, feels like a million hours of backing up, going forward, turning the wheel this way and that. No such luck.
Plan B: Is to get it as close to the door as possible and then just lift it back.
Would be simple, except the opening is on a slight incline. EEK! So the sign people called upon the help of their nice neighbours. Still... the trailer just isn't going to fit. It's too wide. So not going to happen.
Plan C: The trailer is going to get the branding done while sitting outside.
Only thing is, it's cold and rainy. Rain is not a good thing when applying a giant sticker sheet to a cold trailer. The installer says he is going to give it a shot. He actually took a blow torch to the trailer to warm it up. It all worked out because, luckily the weather turned for us too and 4 hours later she was all done!
The sun was out and it couldn't have turned out any better! I was so surprised to see it in real life. From looking at the paper image to seeing the image on the trailer, you just don't know how GOOD it really is going to turn out. I think the trailer looks soooooooo GOOD! I still can't stop cooing over it!!!
I LOVE! LOVE!
What APAK did for us.
Thank you Ayumi & Aaron!
I am sorry for the lack of posts. We have been having internet issues and I wasn't able to get on the computer since before Christmas!
Things have been kind of slow to get finished because of our cold weather. Slight set back. I still need to finish painting and the temperature out here has been so cold and sucky. The paint just won't dry if it's this cold and damp. So lame.
But, there is lots of other things that I need to do... so I am going to keep trucking and hopefully open this sucker up soon!
