The Airstream Dream

Here are a whole bunch of pictures of a 1970 Airstream International 30 foot camper. I was looking on Craigslist for, well, nothing in particular and came across this camper. The list price was $3500.00. I liked the pictures that the seller had posted and right away I began to dream. I thought to myself, "Maybe this is the type of thing that I should be looking for to help bring my move to Pennsylvania to fruition."

You see, I have to finish a large project that I started near a year ago. A project of building a wood and metal shop in the basement of a barn on the property where my parents and close friends reside. The main reason for building these shops is to free up an old house located on another area of the property. Eventually I will fix up the old house and live there. In the meantime, I need a place of my own. This is where the camper comes into the picture.

So I call the guy who is selling the camper and not 10 minutes into the conversation, the man tells me that he really likes my idea and wants to see the camper go to the right person for the right reason. He also used this camper to live in while he was building his own home. Without haggling, he offers to drop the price to $2500.00. So I make a time with him to go and view the camper.

Here are a bunch of pictures of the Airstream. By the way, $2500.00 is a steal for an old classic Airstream in good condition. The man who is selling it paid $10,000.00 for the camper 3 years ago. Regardless, it needs some lov'in care.

Barb, I hope to be moving back between March and June of 2008. I am working hard to meet this goal, we'll see how it all pans out. A hillside for me?! I love big rocks as well!
