First up the drawing

I plan to have a tarp that will stretch over the top and back to keep rain out of the back, you may have noticed the two "poles" at odd angles in the frame picture. Still working on that one.


Just found this post.

I did something like your proposing a few years ago,

The Pac-Man

It worked out nicely.

You could actually stand up in it to get dressed.

That is sweet! If I wasn't thinking of a "speed" build, I might borrow your side design. The natural wood looks so awesome.

I'm really surprised no one has built it yet!

One of the great things about this site is the lack of a judgmental attitude on the part of the members toward others. The effect of this is to empower builders that what they are doing is okay. It affirms one's idea and plan. Members might ask questions such as "Have you thought about...?" Or more often members encourage and applaud other's efforts.
This a truly one-of-a-kind site.

I have to agree with you 100%. Another thing I have noticed is this site is kind of like crack.. you can get hooked very quick, and it's impossible to stop!

I'm already thinking of my second, more ambitious build, and I haven't even started my first.

I looked up at my avatar a couple days ago and it said 2/09/07 when I made my 1st post.

Where did 3 years go. :shock:

It seems like just weeks ago.

Have made a lot of good friends and learned a lot in all this time.

Thanks to all 8)
