Dang dude you are just flying you are almost done and then you can work on the Barn Yard 8)

Looks like a very creative thing you are doing there

I am coming close to the first year on my Cross Bow build!! :? But I let things get in the way. And am trying to do improvements on my first build (Box Kite).

You work fast and it looks great. I gotta say I do like the interior colors.

Thanks for the compliments! To be fair I have had two weeks with nothing to do but work on this trailer. I probably work at the same pace as everyone.

On another note, I found a watering trough at tractor supply co. and I am considering using it as a tongue box. I need to figure out how to make a lid for it. I am also considering using the leftover roofing for fenders. Should be fun.

I think someone has cut a wash tub in half and used the halves as fenders. It was a "beater shed" themed build, IIRC.

Only thing you're missing now are some cool graphics on the side.

It need to resemble the vintage fisher price barnyard toy

Great job on the build. Now you just need a break in the cold.

Finished the trim today. Now it truly looks like a barn. Time to start calking.

Get a pitch fork and your.n wife and take a picture of you near it. :beer:

What are you putting one the wheels?

My thinking is to get a old trough and cut it in half for the fender skirt.

If I can find a trough like that I would use it, otherwise I will be using leftover curated roofing for the fenders. I also want to use a trough for the toolbox. To bad hay makes me sneeze, it would make for a great mattress.

I think you are right a oval trough made into a box would work.

and the roofing material would work or you could build a cap over the wheel paint it red on top and white where the white bottom rail goes. so when you stand away you see the building and the wheel at the bottom just is not seen.

What fun are you up to for the inside??

The cap seems like a good idea, I will have to come up with some designs.
I haven't touched the inside since the last pictures I put up. My wife will be doing the decorating and I have no clue what her plans are.

You could even make the fenders look like a little pole barn shed lean-to deal, kind of like a manger built onto the side of the barn (but I like the galvy tub idea best).
