Home for the Holidays

Not as high as an eagle, but big bird flies once again.  A HUGE thank you to Lorien for letting me nest this thing for "a couple weeks" which actually amounts to 6 months apparently.  It was a minor logistical error.  Not to worry, all is well.  We're all home for the holidays.

Before

After

I'd like to compare it to a 6 mo. long magic trick.  Not bad huh?

Home

Happy Thanksgiving...

Be back soon.










Fits Like a Glove!

I do not like daylight savings time.  Working in the dark is not as cool as it sounds or looks because you cannot see anything                                                                                     

See what I mean...

Any who, today was floor install day. 

The day began circa 8:00 am with jamming a car full of tools.  From there... 

First order of the day, frame got a good grinding.

Then a bath of Rustoleum primer, finished with Rustoleum black.

Front corner frames installed and fastened to existing 'C' channel frame with 1/4" x 4" SDS screws.

1-1/2" SQ. steel tubing (red) was bolted inside the existing 'C' channel frame to catch the back portion of the floor frame.

'L' brackets were used to keep everything in order at the rear of the trailer.  Once everything was in place, the frame was BOMBER.



As the darkness fell, It fit.  Whew!



Back of trailer will house bench seating | with storage below | a beer drinking table | that will transform into the bed | with lighting & storage above.  Design TBD.



Front of trailer will house the kitchen area and whatever other cool stuff I can think of to include...like a custom built-in cooler for a lot of cold beers.  The door will be completely rebuilt...contemplating a dutch door design.



Next on the list...wheel wells.  Stay tuned...

Finish circa 7:00 pm

 

With old man winter on his way, things might slow down a bit here, but please check in soon for updates.

 

Cheers!
