Bummer. I thought you had some of the static foam pieces stuck to your lens. I can't even walk near that stuff without wearing a bunch of it, and when I was putting my insulation in, it was everywhere.
I sympathize with you on the weather too. Here in Idaho we have had snow almost every day for the last couple of weeks. It is melting today, and it's supposed to warm back up for us. I hope to get out fishing this week sometime, and maybe even do some more work on my ct. Hope your area warms up soon too!

I've got a little more done with the trailer this weekend.Built two boxes for use as storage,and seating.Also will use them as bunks with a piece of plywood laid across them with a foam mattress.Also bought two deck boxes from Menards for 70.00 each.They're bigger than the ones I built and will be used for the same purposes.They're actually a lot nicer than I thought they would be.I also bought a 36x72in piece of kitchen island counter top for 60.00 and made my counter top work space in the front.The corners that were cut off of that will be used for smaller shelves above.The lantern in there with a window open 3 inches really kept it nice and warm in there as it was only 38 outside.that's all for now.

I know it's not nearly as complicated as some builds but it'll be what I need for now.Added a little wood bling today.Tongue and groove cedar over counter top,will look good with a clear coat over it.

I just love that.

Everybody's V-nose should look like that, especially mine.
