Ya gotta keep the bubble oil level ya know. Nice to see you have it outside. Did it ride the winter in the cover?

Beautiful as it is. :thumbsup:

Yup. You'll see that I put a tarp down as a floor. Without it there was so much moisture coming up through the ground that the inside of the shelter was permanently wet. I added the tarp and it dried right out.

Hey

Greg, looking good. What primer and/or paint did you use? Brush/roller or spray? Thanks

Thanks, Pete

Right now that's just an exterior latex that I rolled on "temporarily" over the epoxy back in August. The plan is to sand that off, fair the epoxy more (maybe add another coat) and paint with a crosslinked polyurethane. Probably System Three WR-LPU. I'll have to roll it on, unless I can convince my wife that I really do need that HVLP setup I've been dreaming about :twisted:

Thanks Peg,

Your project doesn't look too shabby either, and at least you've got a full time supervisor

How do you know when I've got a trip planned? Easy, I get back to work on the Locust

I'm off to the Recumbent Retreat Thursday, so I've been doing my usual mad scramble to get a few more things done before I go. I figure I'm two more trips from being done, maybe three :lol:

So, heres what I've been up to. I've been re-doing the galley in plastic laminate:

Carpeting the ceiling ($20 at Home Depot for 6x8, thin indoor outdoor carpet):

And working on the speaker cabinets for the surround sound system:

I've got two more days before I go. I wonder what other trouble I can get up to?

Looking great Greg :thumbsup:

. Laying plam in a built box is difficult as I know. From the pictures it looks like you did a fine job and are using the fast edge tape on the plywood edges. Any gaps are easily filled with a crayon or soft putty. Seamfil is too expensive and why buy the kit when cheaper remedies are available. I like Kranky too, nice job. Forwarded your website to a friend in California who has several high end recumbents. He'll enjoy seeing yours.

Thanks Danny.
I'll be sealing the gaps with some black caulking. I figure it'll hide my mistakes and help keep water out :thumbsup:

I was going to bring Kranky with me to Spring Fling, but I didn't quite have the space. Considering what the weather turned out to be, it was probably a good thing :roll:

The greatest compliment I've received on Kranky was when a high end recumbent manufacturer asked me if it was the new model from one of his competitors.

See you down the road.
