first build

Postby earlh » Mon Nov 10, 2014 10:42 pm

hello,

First off I wanted to say thank you to everyone, without all the info everyone has posted here I would of had no idea what to do. I started this build in March and finished in September with a few more things to add on since we've had it camping twice so far. Neighbors, co-workers and I think some family members didn't believe me when I said what I was going to build and how I was going to do it. So here are some pics of the build and the finished product. Again thank you to everyone
