Hello from Connecticut

Postby creeker » Mon Oct 08, 2007 7:26 pm

Hi everyone.
I started building my Teardrop about a month ago. I have it closed in, and I'm doing the doors now. It sure has been fun. I'm a Tool & Diemaker and will be retiring next year. This will give me the time to enjoy my hobbies, which are Astronomy and Photography. Astronomy is the main reason that I'm building my Teardrop. There are a couple of big star parties that I attend each year, and I wanted something more then a tent. When I found this forum I when bonkers!!! What a wonderful family of friendly and helpful people. I wish that I had found this site sooner, I would have done some things different. I'll post some pictures soon.
Bye for now :thumbsup:

Don't fret over the things you would do different because you can do those things on your second teardrop build!

Welcome to the madness. :applause:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Thanks to everyone,
This forum has been so much help to me. I can't believe the amount of info here. Everyone is so willing to help. I can't wait to get my Teardrop on the road. Hopefully I can get to meet some of you at one of your camp outs. From the pictures posted here it sure looks like a blast. I doing the doors and windows now, and will soon do the wiring. I'll post pictures soon.
Ed
I showed my wife some of the camping pictures...........she dosen't think I'm as crazy now. ;)
