Unlikely , he's a retired auto painter, and even his boat has a super glossy finish (polished) ... he's very particular about his "stuff", much in the same way you are KC... and he has a HUGE barn. ( wish I had a barn ) . :roll:

My $25 foamy trailer box =) Cost would vary where you get panels =)
Done with Gorilla glue and seft-tapping / drilling screws #8 X 1/2" and a 24" Square and 7 1/4" circular saw and an 8 fool long 1" x 4" wood straight-edge board =) Built on a HF 1720# frame =)

33630

33634

33632

33640

It was a fun 8 hour build one night ( midnight after work ) and a few hours another during the daylight to finish =)

:beer:

12 years old and over 80,000 mile and still rolling and camping =) A few mods done over the years while camping in it =)
:thumbsup:

May I introduce the newest foamling.

Ollie. A gift from my youngest, who knew I would fall in love. He's helping heal the hurt from losing Daisy the Wonder Dog last May. Makes me laugh. Loves everyone.
Remember, the turtle won. :)

I'm slogging my way through this thread determined to read the whole thing.

I've made it to Jan. 2012...on pins and needles waiting for Eagle to use the iron.

Can't wait to see how it all turns out. :lol:

you will make it, people who read the whole thing seem to stay and hang around. remember when you finish you are required to let us know some things about you. First where you live, married or single, how many kids, are using this build for camping, carring lots of stuff, and just what do you want to build. As you can see we have already told our story, and some embarassing things too.
We tend to change our minds and change our builds but we by the time you have read the whole thread you will not have to ask some questions and you will have benefitted from our expierence.
So keep on you can make it. :D

Get a supply of MRE's and several sources of light. Be careful in there.

I took my lap top to the computer gurue, It seems I have a problem with the left shift key. he seems to think that it has developed a mind of its own :x and suggests that I try to not use it. So if I post without using capital letters you now know why. Yes I know .............. :frustrated:
