I like that, David. Mine is similar to yours and I like all the inside room. Hey, where did you get your side windows?

[GeorgeT]

Wow David! Very nice job! We'll have to make one of the Texas gatherings together, maybe this spring. Again very nice job!

Thanks George, Wright and WarPony

Wright, there will be a back galley but it will be minimal with a microwave on one side and toaster oven on the other. George T and I discussed this on his build and he had noticed that most of the teardrop users ended up setting up tables and such to cook outside anyway so I decided to make a the galley minimal and doing most of the cooking outside under the easy-up.

WarPony, at the chance of stirring up the controversy about windows and safety glass, etc., the answer is: the windows are from Home Depot and cost about $18 a piece, quite a bargain and they worked out very nicely (even have screens!). You have to add trim on the inside and out to compensate for the deep trim around the windows (I think these windows are designed for bathrooms).

George, thanks again for your inspiration and help. I hope we can meet again soon at a Texas Teardrop gathering

Thanks, David

Gee, this thread is like a display of sychronised avatars....

The Compact GT plans aren't too far away, but I must admit they did get shuffled down the do-list.

And, at the risk of hijacking this thread, who else knew that the word 'avatar' has religious significance? See Wikipedia article.

The first time I heard it used in "this" type of context was maybe fifteen years ago in a book called "Snowcrash" by Neal Stephenson. I think in the afterword he explained where he hijacked if from, I will have to dig the book out and look.

David,
did you modify somehow to allow the water to drain out of the channels?
I have similar windows and it looks like they would hold water if mounted horizontal.

There's also a cartoon my daughter likes called "The Avatar". More along the line of Andrew's article he linked to.
