TD Done, in time for ITG - Thanks 4 the help EVERYONE

Postby Keith B » Wed Jun 13, 2007 7:24 pm

Well, as they say, it's never done.. but it's useable... still have some interior trim to do, some kind of "jazzy" graphics for the exterior, exterior side tables, but hey, I think I'm ready for Minden...and this WILL be the maiden voyage... hope she's water tite, and I have everything I need... I did pack a bottle opener so that's all I'm worried about. Look forward to seeing everyone there and those that aren't coming, look forward to seeing you at "other" camp outings. Thank you to everyone for all the help, ideas, encouragment and yes, even the ribbing.... AHHH, it sure feels good.

Keith...That really, really looks nice!!! You did an excellent job, I can see the care and attention to detail that you have put in. I sure hope mine comes out as well. Time for you to post that in the "Hall of Fame"

It looks GREAT! I wish I had just finished mine, I loved that " New Tear Feeling" the day I finished mine. Have you spent 6 or 7 hours just staring at it yet?
Have lots of fun on your trip! The first night inside is great,I didnt want to turn the lights off my first night,I just wanted to soak in all the details!
Excellent job! Aaron

Keith,
It turned out really well. :applause: :applause: :applause:
Love your interior ceiling. :thumbsup:
What did you use for your interior cabinet doors. I like them, but from the picture can't figure out what the "checkered pattern" is.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great job & have a great time in Minden.

Oh, don't use that bottle opener until you have your trailer parked, your chairs out, and you feet propped up! :lol:

Not to sound like everyone else (but I will)--excellent work. Your trailer looks great and you should be very proud. :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Nice build Keith... it looks so clean & shiney like a brand new penny.

What are the two metalic things at the bottom edge of your top cabinets in the galley? Kind of looks like duel beer taps... :beer:
