This thing is 14'5" long x 69" wide x 6'5" tall + 56" for the tongue so 19'1" overall :o :shock: :) . Are tv is a 1999 tracker 4 door auto or a 2001 2 door tracker 5 speed both have 2L motor 4x4 and electric brake controller they are rated to pull 1000# so hopefully we stay under that :worship: :worship: so far we are at 600#

I like the album pictures
but I like it even better when builders include pictures in their post's.
it may take longer but I think they standout better.

cold is leaving I'm feeling better.

Pete, although it is more convenient , I worry that double posting pictures takes up too much of Big Mike’s valuable web space ... Somebody’s gotta’ pay for that :o ... Since this site is not beset with advertising (TG) , I assume it is supported by the generous contributions of the members... The Logic being , if you’re going to post a lot of pictures everywhere, then send Mike some coins to pay for the Luxury !!! We Do LOVE the Pics ... True Dat !!! 8)

I never thought about space I guess it's time to start another "donate" campaign I sent him a couple of dollars before so a couple more before Xmas may be in order.

I was looking at a picture of a Conestoga wagon with it's bowed canvas and was thinking that would make one great looking trailer.

Actually double posting pics does not take up space. It only posts a link to the photo and the software goes out and grabs the pic when ever someone wants to look at it.

Progress Report

Postby joy » Sun Nov 20, 2011 8:43 pm

We glued the sides, back and front panels on our foamie this week end. It's shaping up nicely. I posted a new picture in the album, too.
