KC, Thank you I did all this work December to February I am just now getting all the pictures and the explanations on the forum.

[Mary C]

I glued and started painting but as usual I had to do a little at a time







trying a new piece of wood in the treshold

[Mary C]

We spent several hours pulling the canvas down and securing it and putting a coat of paint on the lower part of the Body

[Mary C]

My brother worked for quite a while putting in the gas line.












He added a double connection for my stove and another just in case I need to set the lantern up.

[Mary C]

Of course it started raining the day we began to paint, but we did......




we painted the inside of the front box.


will the plank work? Did he leave enough room?

All this work was done on my brothers ranch just out of Mineral Wells , Texas after painting hammering and using saws, screwdrivers and all the rest of my brothers tools and most important his help I thought a wee walk around would be in order.

It just keeps getting better and better. Kudos, Mary.

Also, you are fortunate to have able-bodied, smart relatives to help. (And, the dogs are the cheer/wagging team, right?)
It'll be fun to see your teardrop in person,...maybe next spring/summer?

She's looking great, Mary. I am so glad you were able to do this with all the tools and space that you need. Plus a good brother is a priceless thing! I was hoping you would post photos of your progress. These are wonderful. Thanks!
