here is the basic concept of what im trying to go for. this is the extent of my formal plans for the build hence the name

here are more pics that are mostly in order

the piece at the top is just a brace for alignment until the glue dries

then we double up the plywood for some thickness and to overlap the seam

this is about the most "planning" ive done so far other then a general outer design im winging the whole build

finally built the front box

slightly better picture

and promptly filled it with crap

test fitting lil bear doors

the random pieces of wood are to hold the foam in place until the glue sets

i had to get VERY creative to apply pressure to some of the foam

i LOVE these doors

foam is in place and cleaned up the inside for the 1700th time

i think im doing more of my seat of the pants planning here

its first trip outside to let the floor glue air out a bit

the wife laying inside for the first time

so i had to give it a try for the first time

it takes a standard size queen mattress but there is 10" of extra space at the head for a storage compartment but now that i have walls up it seems huge in there
