I cut my kerfs with a skil saw too. But after half of one panel, the wife declared I was not to come into the house covered with little pink bits. I ended up buying a painters suit and wearing that every time I kerf cut foam. HA! Oh she made me wear bootie covers too!!!

I avoided all that by setting up in the open and letting the wind help me out, just I have to have something heavy enough to I keep the styrofoam from becoming a kite :shock: you don't seem to have that problem when using a router as it seems to burn and comes out in plastic clumps

Almost done. :applause: :applause: :applause: this picture got scrunched a little when I resized it so It don't look quite like that but the only thing I have left is to seal my doors. the next time I post will be after I've used it for camping. I am super busy this time year I worked on it till two in the morning many many nights it took me about 300 hours to build :?

Last one

The writing on the cooler was my wife's idea of a joke 8)
Nothing that paint won't fix :lol:
Again when I resize it keep scrunching my pictures together so it doesn't look quite right but you'll get the idea
I'll post build pictures this winter when I have more time :thumbdown:

On a side note I found that if you'd take a 3/8 drillbit and drill holes on your foam to foam edge joints and fill them :thumbsup: with great stuff or gorilla glue that is never coming apart

No not from Australia From Minnesota

Thank you Mary I am very happy I have been very dedicated to it since I started but with work and all and the lack of sleep it was one of the most difficult projects that I ever attempted and as you know the harder the journey the sweeter the prize
I am going to start my fish house this coming week but that should be easy in comparison as no round edges :twisted:
