Hey folks, More photos in my album from my progress this weekend. Boy the hatch is a pain in the butt!

Some progress on installing some trim on my trailer today. Posted photos in my album if your interested in looking. Got a long way to go until it is campable. Keep your fingers crossed that I can make it by the 20th of July.

Hey McGinty;
Your hard work on the TD is paying off...really looking good! Tell Mom that she did a great job on the exterior finish!

Looks good Tim!
Hey Buzz, did you ever post the pics from ING 1.0?

by **TPMcGinty** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:38 pm

Thanks guys. Got the carpeting, the dog ties, the thermometer, and the clothes hooks installed today. More pictures. I tried to skin the hatch today but my last sheet of 1/4 inch bending birch plywood got damaged. I'll have to pick up another sheet in the morning. At the rate I'm going, I should be done with this thing by NEXT July!

Lookin' good Tim The finish is really turned out good and the trim sets it off :thumbsup:

Thanks Jim, As Buzz was so nice to point out, my Mom has done a great job on the staining and varnishing! When she found out about me having to stain and varnish, she insisted on helping with that part. She loves to do it so I figured why not let her do what she does best. Besides, I'm using her and Dad's garage to build it.

I thought cooking was what she does best? :thinking:

Hey Toby...I'know I'm a bad boy for not getting those photos posted. They are on my home PC...I try to get some of them either on here or an album site. On the plus side....you looked good in most of them!!

I wasn't too worried about that. :lol:

It would be nice to see them, we have been telling everyone about what a great bunch we had. It would be nice to have some pictures to show.
Thanks.

What's wrong with my pictures?

Ya know, as I was writing that out, I told myself, "Tim is going to think I didn't like his."
They were great, and we did show them to everyone, but the more the merrier. Why aren't you working on your tear instead of being online? :thinking:

You must be at work huh? :thumbsup:

The trailer is looking really good, now I'm going to want a new one.

Not really, I like ours just fine.
I was mowing over at the get together site, and I found a green tennis ball! I wonder who was playing tennis over there? :lol:

I didn't think that you didn't like my photos. I thought you were giving Buzz crap and I'm ALL for that! :lol:

I just thought I'd give you a hard time.

I'm not at work. I just attached the skin to my hatch today. I'm not too happy with how it went. When the glue dries I will have to look and see where more glue will be required. I should have got a bunch of sandbags before I did it.

As for the tennis ball, I guess Baron and I will just have to meet you guys over there some weekend to retrieve it. The problem is that he will just loose 2 more and then we will have to come out again. You can see the vicious cycle. You'd never get rid of us! :lol:

You two are welcome anytime. Just let us know when. Or if you want to go alone, that works too. :thumbsup:
