Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well finally got the front windows resealed and tested for leaks. No leaks at all. Took the hose at full force on them. Test past.

Here,s a couple of pics for you folks.

Glad you got it fixed, didn't know they leaked?

Why are all the downspouts in the picture at an angle?

Good Morning Rob. The leakage wasnt real major. But I couldnt bear the thought of them leaking anywhere so I took and redid them.

Rob the rainspouts come down and are installed to the pillars that support the roof over the door. Here,s a better pic for you. Then below that is a drain also that is installed into the ground with about a 5 to 6 inch plastic funnel and screen to catch any debree such as leaves or...


Here,s another pic for you that shows it better. As to how the raingutter and spout are installed. And as to why they are at angle.. Dont really know but they sure work well.

Ok, one more question. Why do you have a ladder on the front of your house?

Hello and Good Morning Jeremy. The ladder is there for ease to get upon the roof for snow shoveling or tile repair or... The bar at the edge of the roof is for preventing of snow coming down at full force. This past winter we had over a meter of snow up there. And I had to go up and shovel it a few times. The ladder sure helped

Heikki....was it just a rubber gasket or did you use some sort of sealant on it? You've just got to go camping in that this summer! Doug

Ahh yes the greatest tear n tiny trailer craftsman

Doug it was mainly the spot where I cut the rubber gasket. Once I installed the windows it pulled the gasket apart at the seam thus causing a bit of a leak. I couldnt live with the problem or more future problems with it. You know me Doug.

We are planning a Midsummer Tour. Hope to get some photos for you and everyone. All our best to you.

PS - Just a great work of art you have finished up with. Just love the work youve done once again.

Heikki,

I see now!

It is because of the overhang to keep the snow and dripping water from falling on your heads. Thanks for the pictures.


When I did my windows, the instructions said to cut the rubber a little long, then trim as needed to keep the joint very tight, with a dab of black sealant added for insurance
