MaryK,

I have watched your build all the way through to completion and must applaud you for the craftsmanship and creativity. I especially love the wooden fenders too. Somewhere up in heaven, you're late neighbor that used to enjoy watching you work on your teardrop is smiling down and bragging.
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I wish I had a tenth of your talent with woodworking. You should be very proud when you pull your teardrop down the interstate..better yet, you should submit your project to the DIY channel and they can feature you in one of those commericals where they interview the craftsman and they always say, " I am MaryK.....and I did it myself." :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

Mary,

You've made quite a splash with everyone on this forum. You have been so interested in what everyone is doing on their own trailers. It's nice to have the chance to praise YOU for all your hard work.

Waytago Mary! Beautiful job!

Mary K, wooden sides, wooden trim, wooden doors, wooden fenders, I just love your teardrop, let me count the ways. If it's wood, it's gotta be good. Now, when some guy tells me that he can't build a teardrop, I will show him pics of what a talented young lady did. Be proud of your new toy, and remember, you have to beat the on-lookers off with a stick, whenever you gas up or park in a supermarket parking lot.

I think the 3 other dancers strangely look an awful lot like you. How did you do that? Enjoy the efforts of your labor and individual design. I am proud of you for complementing others for their efforts, now it's our turn.

Mary... I'm kinda late gettin my 2 cents in... Just got online tonight late...

A lot of folks dream of owning a beautiful custom teardrop camper... Just a few choose to build their own.
Even fewer actually complete them. Fewer yet choose to build a custom woody of their own design...
You did an absolutely amazing job on your teardrop!!! The craftsmanship, finishing and custom wood trim are
Excellent indeed.

So just know this: YOU ARE ONE IN A MILLION! :thumbsup: :applause: :applause: :applause: ;)
Maybe even millions! ...and I know a lot of guys that can't do what you just did!

Woo Hoo... Congrats on such a beautiful tear!...Like someone said, I bet you were driving around with a big grin on you face?
From now on everywhere you go with it you can proudly say: Yep, I designed and built it! And, you get to enjoy the amazement
and envy in their face. Awesome job. Have lots of fun camping.
Are these guys happy or what? Te he... Image Image Image Image Image Image
