From Finland - Progress Pics

[Dooner]

Good work. Is that a finnalite dish on the roof?

Your gonna have to meet us half way so we can camp with you. I hope like hell, half way isn't in the ocean.

:o I guess you don't have to worry about falling in

I like the tongue box better this way. It looks good Heikki.

GirRdun.

Morning Auntie M

It took me a while to figure out how the lid is going to be made and thats the way It happened to turn out ... I like it this way as well. We,ll see how the rest turns out now.

Surprisingly the roof was sturdy..

Hi Heikki,
You must have soon curtains in the house that really cut the light, or how else would you ever get to sleep? Of course I would need the curtains to automatically slowly open or else I would have a hard time waking up if they kept the room totally dark.
You keep making progress, that's what matters
Your tongue box is going to look finntastic when you are done.
Keep up the good work.

Am I the only one that gets a little sad thinking that I will never get to camp with The Finnster and a scad of other really cool people?

I'm not saying I am not having fun chatting via this fantastic cyber world. But I am sorta sad never the less.

NightCap Good Morning..

I dont think your the only one that thinks as you do.. I also many times think if I could only meet these folks and go camping with many of them.
It would be such a treat and a great time..

but never say never.. one of these days this Ol Finn may come knockin on your door and say... where,s the nearest gathering going to be held.



Best regards Classic Finn

Heikki,
You just have to come over & say who has a teardrop I can borrow like Dean does. Then at least you & your family could go camping over here. Maybe Doug would loan you one of his?

Good Morning Martha

It is very light outside during the night and it can be confusing at times..if I dont look at the clock.. But have to admit this is the best time of the year.. even though its short..

Progress is slow but again so am I...

I decided to hook up a couple of lil lights inside the box lid also so if ever need to get somthing or whatever in the night I can see what Im doing..or looking for..here is a pic of the lil led light for under the cover..
(not the ovals)..





If it dont start raining I,ll go and do some work on it again..but first some fresh coffee of the morning..

Thanks for stopping in ... its always nice to hear from you.

Best regards

:thumbsup: Good work. Is that a finnalite dish on the roof?

Jaaaaa a Finnalite .. Maybe I,ll have to have a tear parked somewhere in the USA so when we would come over it would be there.. and winter months I could rent it out ...when we are here.. Id have a lil bit of income for gas and food when we,d be State Side..

Good thought...

I,ll have to figure out what half way would be, hmmm Greenland or Iceland.

Naw have started buildin'

The $$$ put aside for the trailer got turned into a 11' x20' with a 8'x10' side extension mahogany deck for the house.

The boss aka the wife said that I will get over it so maybe this winter I can start buildin' unless priorities change

Heikki, by September, my new tear should be done... I'll have a spare.. It has a/c, heat, tv, etc....

Well got a small bit of progress on the tongue box today even though the pazazz or git er done feeling wasnt really there today for some reason.. Maybe the lid reminds me too much of the Hatch itself.

front of the box and lid is drying right now, I,ll take out the screws and fill them in the morning and hope to install the hinge on it tomorrow.. took me awhile to figure out how the lid will actually sit on it but... it be done..

I can understand that. We're on our second hatch & the second is better than the first, but something always changes a little in the gluing for David. Since he doing the gluing I give suggestions about what the forum says, but he does it how he does it. I don't think David would put a lid on a tongue box like a hatch. They frustrate him too much.
But Heikki, your tongue box is looking really good.
Its going to look finntastic when its done.
