Hello from Southern California

Postby OPPOSABLETOE » Mon Nov 28, 2016 5:43 pm

Hey guys and gals,

My name is Kevin. I am from the South end of California. And I like teardrops.

Let me first just say a big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post their projects and detail their builds.
This amazing collection of information and how-to's is the only thing making it possible for me to join the community.
So many great builds here. Good work everybody.

Just broke ground on, what I hope turns out to be, a 5' x 9' "kinda lightweight" teardrop trailer.
I have been lurking and studying all of the forums for the past couple of months. My 1" thick binder is filled with pictures, diagrams, and instructions pilfered from every corner of the internet*. It is now highlighted, circled and dog-eared. There is the fourteenth revision of my "final" plans, Post-it promise notes for the things I have yet to draw, and a wastebasket full of crumpled graph paper. (Sorry Trees)
I am, finally, ready to get started, well maybe not "ready" but ready enough. :thumbsup:

*Every effort will be made to give the credit to the people I steal from.
Wish me luck.

We still lay claim to the most southwestern TD, 3 miles to TJ and 2 miles to the Pacific. :D

I am in Upland. Right down the street from SoCal Teardrops.

Your SW title is very safe. That's another 1.5 hours south for me.

Welcome aboard Kevin. David here, from the beautiful Central Valley. I'm building a 4x8 on a recycled galvanized boat trailer. I too have pages and pages of plans. (About 15) all painstaking and organized... I've opened it up about twice a week. Don't be discouraged when you feel like the build should "evolve ". Nothing is set in stone. Only set in glue :D
I'm going to post some pics of my build. You'll see what I mean. Good luck! And maybe we can meet up on the central coast, when the builds are done.
I can build that !!!!
