“We started with all the boring stuff,” says Thomson, “like completely gutting her, re-welding
the frame, newwindows, fully spray-insulating her so she will sound great, newwiring and so

antique flooring and then furnishing.”

and really, there are few things that have stood the test of time better than anAirstream,”
Thomson adds. “It attracts an audience wherever she goes.”
