Day 75! Will it be done in 100 days? Keeping my fingers crossed. Spent an entire week clearing snow a few weeks ago and now another 80cm on the way - Snow clearing is taking away from camper-build time - Oh well.
Hubby breaks out an M12 battery to test the lighting after upgrading a circuit. Trimming some ribs and testing our new power source.
Day 77: Aluminum Interior - Fitting Panels - Building a Teardrop Camper
Bending metal without a break, moving ahead on making more panels and getting them in place. We come up with slightly altered approach to fitting panels.
Day 78: Less Than Square & Lessons Learned - Building a Teardrop Camper
Hubby picks up some more material and a cool little tool. There always seems to be more framing and he finally finds out how warm it is in the CamperPod. And a big job of squaring up a post.
Day 79: The best bend will be the end - Building a Teardrop Camper
Hubby's aluminum bending skills get better as time progresses. He did a little more framing, installed the electrical box (with modifications) test fit the super cool DC switch panel and had a slight ramble at the end.
Hubby starts the day with a little rant before he jumped into the cladding. His rant evolved to complaining - some might say whining - about most things. Yet he still made progress.
Buddy spent the day on one neglected section of the CamperPod . . . the front storage box/area. Support framing, aluminum and ACM for the floor. Still lots of fancy bending.
Day 82: Domino Effect & Gone Fishing - Building a Teardrop Camper
The plan today was to finish the hatch and do some electrics. Well . . . one thing led to another, that led to another, and another. Had a mini meltdown. Finally finished the hatch and ran those electrics.
Day 86: Crazy Shop Vac Hack - Building a Teardrop Camper
Just when hubby thought he was done with the lighting! He got somewhat creative with a shopvac in routing wires and broke out the Kreg Pocket hole jig for more cabinetry. And a sneak peak at a new tool!!!
