Well, maybe when it’s finished ... :roll: Still have to do the inside ... :o Just the floor , which needs vacuuming , and maybe a little paint ... The carpet we had in there left some light brown-ish' marks on the floor (grrrrr!!!) Likely the Jute backing next to the paint ... That and our infamous Humidity .. although the inside of the trailer remained dry to rain , wind , and hail, as soon as I opened the door the Humidity rushed in ... :frightened: No way to get around that , save live in the desert ... :duh: I was going to find a nice piece of carpet for over the floor , but that might Not be what the new owner wants ... ??? Just trying to make it really Nice and immediately usable ... Really nothing else to do but toss the gear in and take off... That’s the idea huh ? :thinking:

Thank you Glen for your hospitality. Your tour of the Foamstream and the willingness to sell Foam #1.

You are truly a gentleman and artist and I couldn't be more happy! Pooped out before I got to the KOA, so first night in the Nookery will have to wait a bit. Towed like a dream. No sway or bounce. The big rigs didn't budge it. The bearings were cool to the touch. Rained most of the way until I finally stopped for the night.

What an adventure this has been. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :rainy: :goodmorning:

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I had no idea that Bonnie was the buyer!!! It's nice to be able to keep it in the family!!! Enjoy Bonnie! So Glen, which project is being funded next? I know you've go some great designs rolling around in your skull. We've even seen a few on paper.

Mel, I am so thrilled to have this lovely foamie. I didn't say anything, because I wanted to have it a done deal first. You know how Murphy's Law works. :lol:

Poor Glen had to put up with several delays as it was. The picture came out great. Thanks again. :thumbsup:

Murphy was more Busy trying to Rain on us :rainy: ... Luckily we had a few breaks of HOT intense Sun , just for some last minute “adjustments”, and the pictures ... Bonnie drove off, and then the rain started again , and hasn’t stopped since (nothing abnormal, it rains here all the time ) .
Bonnie the delays were OK, just gave more time to do the little things ... 8)

Yay Bonnie!

GPW, I'm sure it was mixed emotions as it left, but you know you'll see it in pictures since it went to someone in the family!

oh, and did I miss something... did you get the foamstream papered yet?
