Your right mike that is close.

Got my mom moved into the house and am still sifting throught stuff to get the house back to a sain state.

I moved the trailer base next to the garage door so I could work on it.
got some painting done on it and working on the wiring. not hard I just keep looking for a better way, just have to bite the bullet.

Just have a bit more to do and can pull the base to the DMV and register it before adding on the upper part.

Say emiller on his way up to the grove and he showed me some things that he had done.

may have to try for the lake Piru outing if it is till on this year. I keep haveing new ideas get in my way. but I really do not have far to go.

:oops: it is better to think of the glass as half way full then empty at this rate. All I can do is keep pluging at it.

Best to all Ron D.

as I slowly get back to this progect hand I am thinking of painting boxkites on the sides or one on the rear and in time make blue canvas shades with boxkits in flight pached or emboydered on them.

monthly install ment

I only have 5 things to do on the lower utility part of the trailer.
I placed the floor of the camper part on the trailer perfict fit.
working on ways to attach the two together.
I am unsure whether I should frame the walls of the trailer or just attach the walls and put in framing where support is needed. I will already have 2x4 support in the back to suport the swing out galley.

both sides of trailer are uniform now, barrowed my best friends belt sander and vawela. thanks Emiller for the idea.

Coupler should be on soon but first I have to figure length of chains. It has been pointed out that I need to figure weight of trailer first. but it comes in two parts so I guess I will need two sets of chains or longer set for both?

will try and finish wiring of lights by end of week. :oops: I'm getting goose bumps :lol:
