Great color! I'm a big fan of the mahogany myself. It looks like your "helper," Samuel, is about the same age mine! Stephen, my son, pours through all of the posts with me. Everyday, for the past week he asks me when we're going to start building our "house trailer." I don't know where he picked up that phrase but it's starting to sound like a pretty good name for our TD at the moment!

I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

hat's a great looking......son! He's really cute!

I also love your cabinet and counter. You have really done a great job. I have Formica in my trailer that is supposed to look something like what you built for real. Mine doesn't even begin to look that good. That is a trailer to be proud of!! I hope that one day Samual looks back on the trailer with fond memories of his father.

Hi there

Ive been looking at your avitar and see you have cute lil helper there too.
Precious as can be.. our Samuel is 2.5 years old.. he loves sitting in the tear reading his favorite books or just relaxing..

He is also a very good soccer ball kicker.. :lol: :lol: My son gets a thrill from the Emoticons here on the forum ..I think the mahogany will remind me more of an ol boat interior in the end..its been a slow go on this but we,ll get it done.. ;)

Thanks again for the comments..

Ive got 3 coats on it as of now.. Im hoping I wont need another but we,ll have to check once its all dry.. possibly a light sanding and a light coat to get it done.

I wish it was completed already.. Got the camping fever real bad.

Thank You Joanne

Samuel is our pride and joy..Im hoping he, ll remember the building somehow when he is grown up..I think the Voyager will be a hand me down to them when the time comes..As it has so many special memories already and the ones to come..

There are times I wish I would have gone with formica but no turning back now.. :lol: :lol:

Their is a way to get what you want, sort of, their are many people who swap houses, so find an are you want to visit and swap teardrops. Its not your own teardrop but it would be close.
