Studying other builds as I now research many of course - its just a good start really my piece of fab, a great start I rekon. I did a good job. Its not a bad science project! One must look back to remember where one started, so ignorant and excited, oh the joy of building! So much more to learn about the interior of course. But the dang thing is waterproof, and that means this builder can continue to dream about building his own jon boat. Probably similar style, without the doors and windows hah! Oh and there's that small utility trailer, and the timbrens and the... ... ... ...
Builders will understand that this build, this prototype, whateva it is, it never had a shop to grow in. It went from dream land to auto cad to skecth land to his yard, to their yard, to that guys yard, to that rental, to that rental, to that house, to that campground, so to speak. Thats the story of the builder/fabricator without a shop. And sure as shat, we've all been there. The idea can't be stopped by lack of space, can it??
I bought an acre. Like 1.0 acres of land. Like 208.7ft by 208.7ft square on the darn survey from the fifties. It has a shop or garage on it, depending on how one describes it. Its about 24ft x 40ft, its got a great roof, great old perimeter foundation on it, dirt floor safe for welding. Its in need of care, its raw, and its gorgeous. Its got aluminum wiring hah.
In some ways I wonder if all this effort put in to build my tiny travel trailer was just to get me to this land. Who knows it has history back to the 1700's apparently some determined folks decided they were going to farm and raise cattle in the frikkin' canadian shield. Rocks come to mind. Rocks and bedrock. But the land was cleared somehow and clearly it was farmed and cattled and then probably sortof lost its way along the tens of decades, more recently just left as is, to tell its story, until a part of it met me.
This is my shop or garage, depending on how one sees it. Of course my tiny travel trailer doesn't even fit yet, for the doors are too short, so my little trailer shall sit for the winter in the bare cold, bored and verminproof
Here is my picture for today: (the garage, i guess)
