Romanian Vardo style standee

[prohandyman]

Well I think I remember saying the SlumberCoach was the last camper I would build, but you just can't keep a good man down. I bought a frame back from a guy that I sold a couple of years ago. He never got started with his project and I guess I am bored. Well...except for a herniated disc, for which I'm seeing a surgeon today, so getting sidelined before I get started. But the frame needed some welding and cutting so I at least got that done before surgery. That and the floors cut to size and undercoated, so most of the bending over is done for awhile. It is to be a Vardo style standee, which I always wanted to build.
6 1/2 x 12 ft, 7 ft tall. I've gotten back into wood carving so it will have lots of Gingerbread, old world style door and Windows, a porch and some crazy decorative painting. So...number 33 takes off!
Here’s the one I’m modeling after

Been awful slow going with the back pain but... Got he floors ready to screw down and started bending up the aluminum wheel wells. Surgery is Fri so progress comes to a halt for awhile .

Best Wishes on your surgery! Here's hoping you are up and around and feeling better in no time!

Ok surgery is over and went good. Now a little rest and rehab and we will get back on this camper. Visiting a architectural salvage store later this week hopefully to look at doors, windows, etc.

So much for rest. Back is alot better, off pain meds...so let's get going again. Got the subfloor, wheel wells, and wood flooring done.

Curious about the gingerbread you mentioned..

Getting the door done. Fitting the leaded glass window and rounding the top before cutting it in half.

Beautiful door! I am enjoying watching this - we are going to start a second in the near future (selling our old one, to make way for the new!), so I am enjoying this vicariously for a few months -- won't get to ours until we clear out the area.
