My Giant Teardrop build

I agree, no pressure treated wood. Too many chemicals there, too close to your pillow.

Thanks...(he says as he grabs a tape measure and runs out the door)


Pine and goo is prolly cheaper then treated anyways.

Hey, on a positive note, when you come to LCG III with a bigass trailer with a deck, we can always use it for a band stage.

Now, we just need a band -- and permission to play loud music.

This, of course, assumes that you will get that far in the next two months.

Ok...here is the real pics...



As you can tell, I decided to go with a frame under my floor. I cut some more metal out of the front where the "party deck" will be. The 2X3 frame is roughly 24" on center and the 1X2's (that I ripped off the 2X4's to make 2X3's) will go around the outside. I did a little more than what's in the pics...I black gooed the bottom of the floor plywood (1/2 inch), broke the tongue jack, and made about 15 trips to Ace Hardware to get $h!t that I forgot to get. By the way, black goo is nasty. Saturday was a shopping day, started out going to McCoys Lumber here in town, and found out they wanted $35 to deliver 4 sheets of plywood! The wifey was going to Lawton, so I thought..."I bet I can find a way to strap 4 pieces of ply to the top of the Durango" so off we went. Note to self...hauling plywood on top of the Durango on a verrrry windy day is NOT an good idea. I did save 5 bucks a sheet, 35 bucks on delivery charges, and I got a pretty decent workout holding a strap down through the sun roof all the way home. Well more work to follow next week, GAWD I'm glad I finally got started.

I got a good test for the black goo. The last thing I did yesterday was paint the plywood and left it laying spread out over the frame to dry, and woke up this morning to lots of rain. I hope that stuff works. Maybe I should watch the weather reports, and buy a tarp.

Real glad to see ya finally got started! I think a tarp might be a good idea for you. Is it supposed to be sunny today. Hope so!!

Johnny,

Only 12 pages and your making sawdust. Looking good!

There should be an award for the most pages in a trailer build thread
