[Et Cetera]

Hi there,
I'm new to the forum with a 1948 homebuilt teardrop that we purchased in October 2006. My husband, Steve, tore into it right away.

It's received a new curb-side door, had a second door added, the rear 12" of floor has been replaced (dry rot), a simple galley rebuilt, and a new hatch constructed.

It's getting insulated with the mylar bubble wrap stuff and the interior panels will be that bead board looking stuff. A simple cabinet and a couple of shelves will provide interior storage.

It's going to be wired (12v) for interior lights, galley lights and exterior "porch" lights. We'll carry a regular heavy duty extension cord for any 110 needs.

That leads me to my first question for the forum.......(click this link-->http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=155343#155343.)

Teri,

Welcome to the forum and if you have not guessed yet the agreed upon compensation for asking and answering questions is dem pictures of your trailer and restoration to quote one of the site admins who will remain nameless (okay Madjack)

we luv da pics

No worries we tend to be a fun bunch so ask away I am sure you will get plenty of response

PS there is also some person from down under that might request a picture of you/family as an avatar so we know who we are talking to when you come to a gathering.

rbeemer: Yeah, I know I need to ante up the pictures. Um, you see, um.....they're kind of still in the camera next to the teardrop in the garage. I keep forgetting to upload them.....yeah....that's it. I keep forgetting.

We're right in the middle of trying to get our garage emptied out and ready for sheet rock, so if I keep forgetting, that's going to be my excuse for the next month. (I'll see what I can do this weekend.)

Here's what it looked like when we bought it:

Welcome,Teri/Etcetera - pictures or no pictures ! Cindy and I also bought a semi-complete teardrop and will maybe finish it someday. Do they ever really get "finished?" Have fun,that's the main thing !

[quote="JawjaBoy"] Do they ever really get "finished?"


They are finished when you say so. Just reserve the right to change your mind!
