Here it is folks... my first post-architecture-school project:

...creating a home for myself out of Jack Larimore's 1971 Airstream trailer. Follow along as it comes to life.

RESEMBLIN' REASSEMBLIN' CROSS-MEMBERIN'


Thought I was done under the rear of the Airstream?
You thought wrong.

There was still more cutting to do 
to make room for the shower pan.

...awkward, disorienting cutting






Balancing on the threshold of enclosure

... Or sittin' in a hole

Call it what you will. 
Either way, it was dirty.






   We replaced two cross members that supported the floor with new members that rest on the bottom flange of chassis's primary C channels. This would allow the shower pan to sit 5 inches below floor level. The project started off heavy (replacing a fiberglass tub with concrete shower pan...), so in the spirit of things, the new members were made far beefier than previous ones.
