“It was love at first sight. My husband
thought I was crazy, but as soon as I saw
this one I knew it was right for me”, she
says.
As soon as she got the trailer home, she
realized was going to need some help
checking what lay under the skin of the
old trailer as she suspected there would
be some rot.
“My brother and niece’s husband
referred me to Rick Orr. She was there
for about six months. He tore into
everything and sent me many pictures.
He also suggested I come and look for
myself. So off I went and yes, she did
have lots of rot”, Janet recalls.
“He proceeded to continue on with the
repairs. After the skin was removed my
husband, a retired electrician, went
through and rewired everything. Thank
goodness he did! There were several
burnt wires. Had we not taken her apart I
would have had a fire for sure. It was just
a matter of time. At the time I got a little
frustrated because it took so long but
I am very pleased now because I know
everything was done right”.
