I got the charger and inverter and battery hooked up and working. I will be hooking up the 12 volt power supply tomorrow.

I'm trying to get the tear waterproof before my shelter blows away in the wind. I have this nightmare of seeing my tear water logged and the tarp building in the neighbors yard. :cry:

Night Cap

I have the same worries since mine is in a porta garage as well.. Mine is however to the point that it does have the insulation on but no galley hatch has been installed yet..

At least for the porta garage its held in place ... even after our bad winds and snow..

Just got an other foot of it today... :cry: :cry:

When your done with yours cmon up to the North.. :lol: :thumbsup:

Now that is fast building as Ira mentioned.. nice work too.

Very neat work there Nightcap.

You will get done soon just keep plugging away. It is the small stuff that will slow you down.

BTW ---Do you have a normal name we can call you. I feel like I'm talking to my tea here. :D

Enjoy the success

Nightcap, looking good. So I saw on King 5 tonight that Tacoma streets looked like a river today and in some parts Salmon were swimming up the street. Those portable shelters don't fair well with the winds around here in Pierce County. My neighbor lost one a few years ago that was over his 5th wheel. Hope you find solid shelter soon, :) Danny

Thanks. I was driving down a road today and there was a big fountain in the middle of the street. Water was shooting out the holes on a man hole cover. Quite something to see.

Finn,

You're using skis, not wheels on your teardrop, right? ;)

A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman...

But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
