JP,

Looks great!

What are the handles for on the front?

by **jplock** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 10:54 pm

I put the handles on there to manuver the trailer onto the hitch, and moving it around by hand. I discovered that would be handy during the wall and roof framing phase. I noticed when I would grab for the ceiling spar to move it around, so I put extra framing around where the handles were located for strength as in the below picture.

JP you have done a beautifull job on your tear. I am curious to know how long is your tear?

by **jplock** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 2:44 pm

Warpony,
I am going to camp on my29 acres about 1 and 1/2 miles west of Lowrey School. It is on top of the hill east of the recycle center. It is also about 5 miles west of hanging rock.

Also the Windsong is 5' x 8'

Phil, I have family that has land on the Illinois River on Scenic 10 Hwy. and wondered if you were going to that area. I have been going to that river all of my life. As a matter of fact, my brother and I are canoeing the Illinois over Memorial Weekend starting up near Kansas, Oklahoma (yep, you heard it right, Kansas, Oklahoma) and floating 42 miles to my Uncles place.

Is your land near Peggs?

Warpony,
It is about 4 miles north of Moody's Store and about 2 miles south of Spring Creek and the big metropolis of Terasita. Oh yes and Peggs is about 8 miles West. Does that sound like your stomping grounds? There are lots of oak and hickory trees. Soon there will be plenty of ticks and chiggars! HA!
