I have added more photos and descriptions to the Texas Teardrop build journal. These entries document laying out and routing the wiring chases in the trailer side panels:

I have added a few more photos today, documenting work done back in June. These new photos show the water tank mounting hardware.

Just added another set of build photos. These cover progress made in July, dimensioning the galley countertop.

This build journal entry covers work completed last August. It covers installation of the underfloor cargo box support hardware, water tank support hardware, and a few photos of how I cut the access holes in the water tanks. See the full journal entry with photos and captions here:

Meanwhile, find a few sample photos below.

Update: I had not updated my build journal for some time, mostly because the build keeps me busy. But also I wanted to reformat my journal. Originally I organized it chronologically. That structure had limitations. So I have restructured the journal by trailer systems (e.g. "frame", "body", "galley"). With this new structure in place, the journal is now in a more advanced state. However, it is not up to date. I have finished my roof and I am about to skin the entire trailer. I hope to catch the journal up to the build in the coming weeks, as I approach the fourth quarter of the build itself.
