Jim,

Your trailer looks great. Looks like you solved that little hatch problem nicely. I not sure I'd want to park next to you at the next ITG, you'll be getting all the attention.

Yeah!! Nice work Jim!!

Good problem solving on the light. You sure you don't want to tell us how you broke the first light? I see that is is at the head of the bed...

Ya know thats a good question Jim. Funny the pictures don't show that.

What really happened, I was looking to replace the incandescent bulb with a LED. When I removed the old bulb it would not go back in. When I pushed and turned the bulb it just spins. Anyway, one of the wires came loose from a spot you can't access to repair with out destroying the unit. It wasn't nearly as good a story as you had hoped for.

A story is a story. So stick to it.

Yeah!! Nice

I'm just finishing up the galley. I used CPES on all the walls and cabinet frames and epoxy on the cabinet doors. You can sure see the difference.

Man that epoxy is good stuff. You can see reflections on the counter top.

[Miriam C.]

Your right it is beautiful stuff.

Keep up the good work.

I'm really trying, Oak sawdust smells soooo different from fir sawdust, The cabinet fronts are 1/2 done, and should be done this week, the only hardware I need to buy is the latch for the Hatch.

I even was up at Interstate last week checking out their products one drawback to building a tear 70 inches wide is getting Aluminum. Continous is available but the width will produce a bunch of waste.

Oh well, I'm having fun

Jim...that galley really looks great!!!! Really a clean uncluttered look.. Looks like you've mastered epoxy...Can't wait to see it in person at the Dam Gathering...we'll be camped out in the sticks...at least in the heavier wooded portion... Doug

I think with the right angle, one could get a suntan off the reflections of that woodwork.. marvelous, simply marvelous.

Just don't get too close.

I have a real heavy duty hatch latch similar to this one.

It may be long enough for yours too. PM me if your interested.
