About Me



Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Suzie and after working as an accountant for 10 years, I decided to give up the rat race and switch careers. My husband, who was serving as a Psychologist in the Air Force did the same. Now we both teach high school in San Antonio, Texas. I teach Geometry and my husband teaches Physics. During the summer we take our kids on all kinds of fun vactions. This year we purchased our first pop-up trailer and couldn't be more thrilled. It's a 2003 Colman Utah and we pull it with our 2011 Ford F150 Eco Boost. This blog is devoted to my pop-up adventures. Please enjoy.

Demolition IV

Having someone to help you demo the trailer is a good idea. This is my husband. He came out to use his new dremmel tool to remove the rivets connecting the side panel to the bulkhead. I suppose that I could have done it but I'm adverse to pieces of hot metal flying toward my face. My husband, on the other hand, loves it.


 Here is the water damage under the access door.


I completely destroyed the front panel while trying to remove it. It was already damaged but I really messed it up. There was more of that super sticky foam tape holding it to the side panel. I used a screwdriver to pry it off. If you don't want to wreck your body panels, don't use a screwdriver.


There is a thin piece of wood connecting the side panel to the front and back panels.


Here is the back side of the wiring for the front shoulder lights. All of the lights had cracked lenses and I was having trouble finding replacements so I ended up just cutting the wires up next to the fixture.


Suprise! Welcome to Texas! Home of 10 bajillion wasps.
