Newly completed project - not yet slept in.

Postby Gerald_G » Tue Jan 02, 2007 3:53 am

Here's a pic of my most recently completed home built project. I certainly intend to camp out in it, but have not had a chance yet. I will post pics and a report once I have.

This pic was taken christmas eve when I had put some festive lights on it for the night.

From what I can see of it, it looks cool. What is it? Is it portable?
Take a pic during the day so we can get a better idea of what ya built. :thumbsup:

Yes that pic is darker than I'd at first thought. I can see it, but then again I know what it is.

MaryK - little wonder you did not recognise this in the dark picture, your from Florida. Bet you don't see one of these everyday.

Simply pic up the sleeping bags and put down camp stove for galley :-)
