Hi from Mississippi

[mallett]

Hi, I'm Mike Mallett down here in Mississippi. I started my build the second week of October, 2007 . We took it on her maiden voyage December the 21st to Clarkco State park here in Mississippi. This would not have been possible without the help of the information I gleaned from the Internet. I would like to thank, Madjack, Grant, and all the other guys & gals for posting pictures and info on how they went about building their teardrops. I guess the site that inspired me the most was Michael Westhoff and his Luxotear. I pasted pictures of his tear on mine as I was building. I would also like to thank my wife and two sons for all their help. I have uploaded some pictures in album.

Thanks again,

Mike Mallett

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to start my next teardrop in a couple of weeks. Think I'll try to build this one a little lighter

That was getting up a lot of mornings about 4am and then going to work, then coming in and working on it till 10pm. I enjoyed just about every minute of it. When I start something it's hard for me to quit until I'm finished. That's not a good quality. I'd rather be like you and take my time.

I am still in awe ! The quality of this build in 2 Months ???

Tell us the truth you really started in 2005 and your just trying to mess with us . I worked many 13 hour days during the summer. It got so bad I would come into the kitchen and old what's her name would look at me and say " who are you" I had been missing so long. I will admit I did and redid many facets of the build but I, like you , love the build more than anything. Kudos on the tear it's gorgeous.

I still know you are messin' with us !!!! (grumble grumble)

Welcome aboard Mike,
Night a say nice job on the tear.
I've got 2,000 miles on mine and I'm not even close to done
Now all you have to do is have fun and plan the next one

[deputydogrick]

nicely done, welcome aboard

Hello Mike, Great looking trailer. It's good to see another teardrop with wide whitewalls on the road. I looked at your photo album, and see a bit of LuxoTear DNA there! I really like your gray water holding tank. It's a much better solution than the bucket we use (and frequently forget about when breaking camp). Welcome aboard and congratulations on a successful construction.
