LOML clan

Postby buddycraigg » Fri May 06, 2011 3:03 am

We (I) have decided that we (I) need a trailer to sleep in.

So the LOML clan will be building a TTT.

Buddy (me) 38
Lisa (wife) 39
Aidan (stepson) 8
Finn (son) 5
Raena (stepdaughter) 4
Iris (daughter) still in the oven, due 6/27/11

Every one loves pictures, so I post one as soon as I figure out how to do it.

Looks like your off to a good start!

I too am building a trailer that will fit a family of 6. Mine are 7, 6, 4.5 & due 6/9.

The rest of these guys have it easy only worrying about a measly 2 occupants. The famly TTT is were the real challenge is at!

Altho I have 6 kids, 19 grandkids and 5 great-grand kids, I built the "Lite House" for just two. It has a queen size bed. I built it like a jig saw puzzle, one side/panel at a time and then put it toghther. Problems?? lots. Just keep on trucking.
