Not really sure but the few times I've camped there I know the phone signal is real hard to find

inside it is 68 1/2"wide and 58" high I can stand up in it but have to be bent over slightly.it is around 11 feet long.( slept since i framed it LOL )
Yes i have cabinets and a fridge at the front. the back is going to be a queen bed until we can build a folding sofa into it.
Ive got the BUG now, We dont even have this one finished and i am wanting to build another one, would like to build a taller one at some point. Or I might re work the roof on this one at some point. When we built it we had to keep going in and out of the garage with it, so i was limited to the height it is. It likes 1/4" of hitting the garage door LOL (we have a SHORT garage door)

I don't think it worked Dan. Looks like a real wet Thursday and Friday.

But Saturday will be beautiful for the pitch in dinner :picnic:

Hey Bob, The computer is really slow down here in the boonies. It rained most of last night. Got set up before the big one though. There are a lot of us here all ready. I would guess about 12 or so, to lazy to go count though. :lol:

I have been throwing marsh mellows over on your spot, and have been letting Sammy chase all the Raccoons over there. There are a lot of them around. Very friendly though, :)

Make sure you bring your shower cap!

Saturday morning

Postby shortgmanp » Fri May 21, 2010 1:17 pm

It looks like it will be late Friday night or early Saturday morning before I get there. Can't wait to see everyone. Greg ;)
I am a workaholic that loves a good challenge. It will also give my dad and me a good project to work on together. I plan on putting several miles on this teardrop, so I want to build it right.

Home safely, had a great time. Park was great, the mill was very interesting. What can be said about the dinner and the conversation that followed, love those times most of all. Thanks to all. Tim and Judy
