The Wanderer - A Cold Start

[vinatgevolvo]

After lurking for a few months, I've started building about a week ago and joined the forum! Here's the documentation of my modified Weekender project.

Design:

Acquisition of trailer:

Primer:

Semi-Gloss Black:
with my tow vehicle in the background (1990 Volvo 745 GL), piled with 8 inches of snow. Gotta love space heaters.

Floor:
22/32 Pine ply on the bottom, sealed with polyurethane, then enamel paint, then rubberized undercoating. 1x3 studs and 1/2'' foam insulation. Will be topped with birch when finished.
