MK-

JMO, I would trim the wood hinge covers back flush BUT leave the hinge long.

My experience has been when it rains (and the trailer is fairly level side -to- side) the water pours off the ends of that extended hinge quite well, with none going down the TD sides...

Your work looks absolutely GREAT

Cheers,

Coop

Spanky....Isn't Darla the reason the He-Man Women Haters Club was founded? Don't let the rest of the members know you are talking to her...you'll get kicked out.





Hearts are Thumps (1937)
The He-man Women-haters club was created by George Robert Phillips "Spanky" McFarland (1928/10/02- 1993/06/30) and immediately joined by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer (1927/08/07 - 1959/01/29) and William 'Buckwheat' Thomas (1931/03/12 - 1980/10/10).
Spanky: Let’s start a club right now. The He-man Woman-haters. I'll be president.
Alfalfa And I'll be second president, and you can be third president.
Buckwheat Thanks.
Spanky Alright, get up and do exactly what I do. Put your hand on your heart, and raise your other hand. We, the He-man Woman-haters club...
Alfalfa and Buckwheat We, the he-man woman-haters club...
Spanky ...promise not to fall for this Valentine’s business...
Alfalfa and Buckwheat ...promise not to fall for this Valentine’s business...
Spanky ...because girls are the bunk.
Alfalfa and Buckwheat ...because girls are the bunk.

Alfalfa is almost immediately lured away by Darla Hood, leaving Spanky and Buckwheat as the sole members of this short-lived club. [00:01:27 - 00:02:27]

I went to a website trying to find that picture and ended up reading the whole history of the Little Rascals....did you know Alfalfa was shot to death...Spanky never really had a steady job and Robert Blake was on the show?

No, I didn't know all that. That's sad about Alfalfa

I wanted to start a new thread, but figured here was good enough.

I trimmed out one door last night.


Its not installed on the TD yet, thats why its not flush, but I just had to see how it looked.

I will be ordering windows next week.

The Alfalfa story:

On the night of January 21, 1959, Carl Switzer and a friend, 37-year-old studio still photographer Jack Piott, went to Stiltz's girlfriend's home in San Fernando Valley, California. According to January 27, 1959, reports by The New York Times, Switzer wanted Stiltz to reimburse him the $50 he spent recovering the dog. Stiltz refused to pay and an argument ensued. In the end, Switzer lay dying on the floor from a single gunshot wound. While there is no question as to how he died, there are three separate versions of the events that preceded his death.

Other bad happenings of people on the show:

Pete the Pup (? 1930) - An unknown assailant poisoned the original Pete.

Robert Hutchins "Wheezer" - (3/29/25 - 3/17/45) - Died in an airplane accident at the age of 19.

William Robert Laughlin "Froggy" (7/05/32 - 8/31/48 ) Died in a bicycle accident at the age of 16.

Robert H. Young "Bonedust" (9/15/17 - 9/10/51) - Died in a hotel fire, which started when he fell asleep smoking in bed.

Dorothy Dandridge "Dorothy" (11/09/23 9/08/65) - Committed suicide after an investment scheme caused her to go bankrupt.

Harold Switzer "Deadpan" or "Slim" - (1/16/25 - 4/14/67) As was the case with his brother, Harold was also killed following a dispute with another man.

Scotty Beckett "Scotty" - (10/04/29 - 5/10/68 ) Died in a Hollywood nursing home after being severely beaten two days prior to his admittance. A bottle of pills and a note were found at the scene, however the coroner never determined the exact cause of death. He was just 38 years old.

Darla Hood "Darla" - (11/08/31 - 6/13/79) - Hospitalized for hepatitis in 1979, she soon died under what was later ruled to be "suspicious circumstances."

Kendall McComas "Breezy Brisbane" - (10/29/16 - 10/15/81) - Two weeks before his 65th birthday and apparent forced retirement from the U.S. Naval Weapons Center in China Lake, California, he committed suicide.

Robert Blake "Mickey" - (9/18/33 - present) - On April 18, 2002, he was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakely.

Darwood Kaye "Waldo" - (9/08/29 - 5/15/2002) - Killed by a hit and run driver while walking on the sidewalk.

Jay R. Smith "Jay R" - (8/29/15 - 10/05/2002) - Stabbed to death and left in the desert by a homeless man he had befriended.

MaryK-You're Teardrop is one fine piece of woodworking craftsmanship. Good Lord, the wood molding brings that thing to life and makes it really pop. I would give my left arm to be able to craft a trailer like that. I can't stop drooling on my keyboard.

My cap is off to you. Way to go, MaryK!
