Door trimmed out, finally!

Postby sunny16 » Tue May 30, 2006 9:29 am

I spent the weekend triming out the door and rear hatch. I used 1 x 1 x 1/16 aluminum angle bought at Lowe's. I only messed up one piece and had to cut it again. It worked out good. I finished out the interior, too but don't have pic of that yet. I used someones (Ira's I think) idea and put small rope in the corners to finish off the inside edges where the panels come together. It looks ok and hides any gaps that were there. Here are pics of the door trim. I used a regular door knob, just had to add a piece of wood for extra thickness. I stained the interior to match late yesterday so it all matches now. I will take off the trim and seal the wood edges with spar varnish before it all gets exterio paint.

Effin great job!

How are you finishing off the exterior? I forget. And what's the wires hanging from the porch lamp?

Also, a can of diet COKE? And you call yourself a TD builder!?

Ira,
I'm thinking of the paint thing on the exterior. (Can't afford the aluminum at this point.) And the wires ar for the porch light. I have to remove the light as I finish the exterior. And Diet Coke is the strongest drink for me. I'm from Utah, remember. (Think about it) :thinking:
And your fenders look really cool. I saw them on your fender post. You have one great looking themed trailer!
