Got some pics

Postby ChickenFoot » Wed Nov 14, 2007 9:35 pm

Hey Guys, I finally sat down and figured out how to upload pics to my photo album this evening and I posted a few on them. I started building my Generic Benroy in mid-October and I wish to thank yall for all the info on this great web sit. Take a look at them when you get a chance. I plan on using epoxy (boat hull) paint on the outside and do a light stain on the inside. I fitted the a/c today and tried it out (drain like it should with no leaks). I will be posting more pics as I go (now that I know how).

Very nice progress. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
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.

Hey it's looking great. Keep up the good work. I just used polyurathane with no stain on my birch on the inside. The poly darkened it just a little. I like the way it turned out.

Looks great. I like the little storage area over the kids head, over the cup of coffee, that looks like a little porch. That's neat design.

For a slightly different look, use Minwax 'Natural' stain and then poly coat it!! It helps bring out the grain of the wood better. You can see some examples in my build photos.

I got a lot of filling and sanding done today. Welded the tongue jack in place, a/c installed and wired also. I made some fenders and mounted them. They like the Benroy profile. Ihope yall enjoy them.

Lookin' good there CF. :thumbsup: Boy! you are flying on your build.

I see how you are dealing with the water discharge from your AC but how are you exhausting the hot air from the rear and where is the cooling air coming from? :thinking: You must have it taken care of, I just can't tell form the pictures. :thinking:

Good job :thumbsup:
