It’s been a very long time since I posted an update. It is time I posted a couple of updates on repairs I’ve made.

First up, wall sconces. There are three, small wall sconces in the trailer. I believe the manufacturer was Grimes. They function as reading lights. One of the sconces was broken when we got the trailer. The shade was missing, along with the mounting swivel joint. I searched and searched, but could not find a replacement. I went so far as to have Trenton Sheet Metal recreate the shade for $100 (they still have the pattern if you need one). Even though I had a replacement shade I then struggled to find the right swivel mount and light fixture. I put the project on hold.

Several months later a friend sent me an email saying that someone had posted similar lights for sale online for $35. I bought them right away.

I stripped the paint off the exteriors and repainted using Rustoleum primer and Almond gloss spray paint. I think they turned out really well. Now we have functioning reading lights, instead of wires hanging out of the wall.
