Day 75! Will it be done in 100 days? Keeping my fingers crossed. Spent an entire week clearing snow a few weeks ago and now another 80cm on the way - Snow clearing is taking away from camper-build time - Oh well.

Hubby breaks out an M12 battery to test the lighting after upgrading a circuit. Trimming some ribs and testing our new power source.

Day 78: Less Than Square & Lessons Learned - Building a Teardrop Camper

Hubby picks up some more material and a cool little tool. There always seems to be more framing and he finally finds out how warm it is in the CamperPod. And a big job of squaring up a post.

Hubby starts the day with a little rant before he jumped into the cladding.
His rant evolved to complaining - some might say whining - about most things. Yet he still made progress.

Day 82: Domino Effect & Gone Fishing - Building a Teardrop Camper


The plan today was to finish the hatch and do some electrics. Well . . . one thing led to another, that led to another, and another. Had a mini meltdown. Finally finished the hatch and ran those electrics.
