I am SO TIRED!!! DSD teased me today about only working 1 1/2 hours on the trailer, but that was in addition to an hour picking up a 2x4 and some more primer at the lumber yard. AND I have to put in 8 1/4 hours at work tonight, ending at midnight, and I worked 8 1/4 hours LAST night, ending at midnight.
Okay, done whining. On to the wining.
Okay, when we last met I had not yet made the final cuts on the door. Here it is, with canvas wrapped around from the sides and the paining started. Tomorrow I plan to start the framing of both the door opening and around the door itself. But I still don't know what I'm doing about the latch. Any suggestions?
Here's a view from above, showing the roof and front painted, and the curb side started. The kids don't have school tomorrow (we're having late spring weather, so the school district is letting the kids take a built-in "snow" day to start spring break early), so they will be painting some more.
And finally, from this angle it is starting to look like a real camper! Fortunately you can't see all the bugs stuck to the paint. Oh, well....
Having this camp-able by the Cub Scout camp out on May 5 is looking more and more do-able!!!
Oops, I need to put something in the crock pot for the kids' dinner, so I have to run!
