[Wolffarmer]

Thanks Randy....now I went to that portion....and I'm afraid that I'm going to get something to fill in a spot in the new build. Your cryptic note...woo hoo...is it Yoo hoo or some coke in classic shaped bottles? Doug

Bingo, You got it Doug, I am going to get some coke in bottles, with real sugar, from Mexico. That is some good stuff

Gage, you coming to the Glyphs?

[Gage]

Gage, you coming to the Glyphs?

Can't make it. Got to much going on trying to get two trailers finished for the Pismo Beach Rally in May. I will be going to the Dam Gathering the end of April. You ott to try and make it.
I'll make it to Glyphs some day. Besides, you don't want me to come this year. It'll surely rain and we've had enough rain this year.

Sorry for the hijack Doug. But what the heck, you started it.

Rain would be better than what we had last year.



Would like to make the Dam Gathering but when i get back from the glyphs I really need to start looking for a job. Or a rich woman.

Most of those signs are made and sold cheaper with free shipping from Desperate Enterprises
They occasionally send me their catalog. Danny

You guys are just too much fun. Finally got caught up and went looking. Couldn't resist!

Look what I found

Miriam, those are neat. I see a nice "Beach Comber" tear to house them in.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....I got with someone that had a press brake and got the door jamb bent up. It's 16ga. sheetmetal, 2" deep. It will allow for the outer door and a screen. No one had any aluminum extrusion, or steel z that would work for what I wanted. Doug

[emiller]

Nice Doug, I had to do the same for my doors.

[Gage]

I robed another vintage trailer to get the door and screen door hinge for mine. But as always, you did good Mr. Doug.

[doug hodder]

I finally got it completely enclosed on the exterior, and it appears that I haven't sunk a screw or staple into any of the wiring...a real +! I also smoothed out the joints with a belt sander and epoxied up staple holes/ voids and over the joints. I will completely coat out the exterior with a coat of epoxy prior to skinning. My thoughts are that if there is any leak, at least it won't go into the luan and become a sponge. I've seen enough that have leaked that I can't help but think it will help with any potential water problems in the years to come. The end grain on the window cuts/door will also be coated out.

I've also started the curtains, using the Michael Miller vintage trailer fabric. I put a coral colored flange between the curtain body and the upper teal piece to help tie in all the colors. It is going to take 16 of these panels to get all the curtains done on this one.

It's down to the point now that I can put together a punch list of things to take care of on finishing. It should be out of the garage this weekend, when I will do my final cut on the wheel well prior to skinning. Doug

What fun!!!! Can't wait to see it in the sun!!!

It's all those little details you slip into your builds that put them over the top, nice touch, you certainly have an eye for style - even if you do like funky pants

Hey, be nice to the guy in the funky pants...said the guy in the ugs and shorts.
Doug, sounds like a plan with the epoxy undercoat, make it a good one, you know that it will leak somewhere. Like wrapping a house in Tyvek, it's just a good idea (that I didn't do on my trailer...)

Doug,
Spring is coming and you are really giving me the bug. Going into the 7th season on mine and really have a 7 year itch. Good job
