Keep yourself busy with several small projects? Perhaps, teardrop shaped birdfeeders? :thinking:

I was thinking the same thing.
Feeder/house maybe?

I've already had a friend accuse me of building a giant birdhouse. :roll:

:lol: Maybe I could build a tear/dog house for Mollie -Mutt?, But that just might intensify the urge to go all out on a tear, I have low will power!

:thumbsup: Molli-Mut deserves a TD also. If nothing else than for those daytime naps. Or to haul her food in. :thumbsup: You can make it small and she can haul it around with her. :thumbsup:

Rick: :)

You could make a collapsible side door~room that would fit in one of your
doors for your Mollie~Mutt to be in while your out camping in your Tear~ .
It has been done before for other dogs and heaven knows your little Mollie
deserves her own little "Throne ~ Space" while she is out touring the world with you.

Well, I'm still dragging out my first build. Every time I start working on the TD something else comes up that seems more important to get done first. Right now I'm in the middle of building a custom home for Bruno the "Wonder Dog". And this time I really have him "Wondering" why I keep calling him over for a test fitting instead of making him stay off of the project. He wonders about a lot of things.

And even at that, I keep getting the urge to get back in the garage and do more welding. I just have too many projects at any given time, and with Christmas coming up, that aint likely to change any time soon. :lol: :lol:

A seperate throne would be great, except, this rat is so spoiled,she'll never use it. She HAS to sleep with with someone.
And I know about other projects, I still have'nt finished installing the chairrail trim in my living room, that I started over a year ago!

Hi, Satch:

I love the idea of a tear dog house and bird houses. Another idea is a teardrop mail box that uses the galley door for the mail opening.

My first thought was to find things that you could do on your current teardrop but its looking well done! Then, I saw your under tear storage box and had an idea! If you could get your storage box off the ground and up just a little bit, you'd be less likely to be surprised by a snake or other critter that might have crawled in for a comfy sleep. Also, if you happen to camp in a wet area, the box won't have to sit in the wet. First, I thought of under-tear drawers but you don't have a lot of room between the tear and the ground. But, you do have room for fold down supports for your storage box(s) to fit in when you're at your camp! You could even have a fold-down rack for your shoes!

Just thinkin' "out of the box". :D

I saw your under tear storage box

The box does'nt touch the ground, it's on a hinge on the back and the front ratchets up and down, I have'nt had problems with snakes yet ( there are rattlers where I camp) but I did find a cat in there last time :o , drove Mollie-Mutt insane!
