Kermit

[Vedette]

Jeeeeez, Brian, it was good to see some sawdust in your shop a few pages up! (There's hope!)

I'll be curious on your paint and interior! Where's the trip after the post-shake-down cruise going to be?

Hi Tony
Much like Miss Piggy the first time out of the driveway, we will turn right and drive to California!
Anything under a couple thousand miles can not be considered as a true "test drive".
We hope to tow the wheels right off of Kermit in the next 5 to 10 years.
Good Roads
Brian & Sandi
PS
I made two drawer sides for our computer drawer out of wood too!

With you and Kermit, when it comes to pictures, it seems to be feast or famine.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving Dinner! T'was a feast for the eyes.

So, we got to see sawdust and metal scraps today.
I hope we see little "Kermie" in the green soon!!!!

Thanks Sharon
Green is still about 250 to 300 hrs away?????
It will be more than full time for the next 10 weeks.
Beside I have yet to even pick the greens....so Sandi has not even started on the interior decorating.
Good roads

Yes, when I finally get around to downloading the pictures from my camera and uploading them to my album on the Forum, there is usually a bunch.

Brian, nice work & good progress! I like green for a color.

Tony, what's that white stuff on your trailer? I don't recognize it from the picture....

Tony, what's that white stuff on your trailer?

That's a structural load test, right there, yes it is.

That's a structural load test, right there, yes it is.

I thought it was some new "cool" trolley top design.

Brian, fine progress and thanks for the pix!

[Vedette]

Thanks guys!
I have been putting in some long hours this past couple of weeks, and taking more pictures.
Time is becoming a major motivator!
Worked on completing the basement structure the last two days, and the slide outs fro the privacy (bathroom) tent.

Hi Brian, fantastic to see the progress
And see! You can work with wood

Actually built something out off wood (Sandi's spice rack) and was caught on Camera.

This picture amused me You may start a new trend with cars having the tongue and coupling sticking out the back, and just the ball on the front of the trailer.

Thanks Frank
What a cool thought????

[Vedette]

Well. another long week that even makes me worry more about our April deadline.
We managed to log 89 man hours of work on Kermit in the past 7 days....but fell way short of my expectations of what we could get done on it in a full week.
But, I guess progress is still progress ......no matter how slow it seems to happen.
I am even more determined now!

The Poet Creek Express has what I like to refer to as an "annual deadline". It is a moving target.

The harder you work at it the further along you will get. We know that you won't compromise quality for speed, your work is too nice for that. It is good to have a deadline to work toward and get motivation from, but build it the way you want it to be and worry about finishing when the time is right.

That's why my deadline is to be done when I retire. I have another 5 months to go!

I retired 2 years ago.......but now wish I could go back to work for a rest.
Busier now than I ever was before????
