we my husband and I, have been traveling around the west contracting (he is a computer programmer) for the past 9 months. The cute harbor freight trailer I put together has been sitting in storage since then dreaming of being a teardrop.
All summer I've been here in Colorado coveting all of y'all camping and playing in your teardrops. the fact that IRG came and went without me was excruciating, let me tell you!
One day perusing Craigslist I came upon a cute little unique teardrop for sale that was it! I just snapped!
I had to have a teardrop in camp-able condition by our family reunion the weekend of Aug 13th. 
This teardrop was in my budget...
granted it was "slapped" together... He just wanted to use it Elk Hunting... 
I knew it would need extensive remodel... 
The good thing was there was no water damage at all cause it had been stored in the barn since building.. I loved the galvanized roof... and the woody sides made me smile! The fact that there was only a tail gate gave me a bit of pause but.... I kind of liked it... The truth is I couldn't stop thinking about it for 3 weeks.. So, for my birthday (the 9th of July) we went and picked this cute little thing up.. 
Due to a lack of shop and tools (moving around everywhere!) I found an amazing guy (again on craigslist) who took the poorly sealed and applied roof, and fixed it... who enlarged the one tiny door and built me one to match on the other side.. then he surprised me with a cute mural of flowers and hearts on the sides...
It isn't finished yet... I get to play with the Galley and have fun designing a pull out kitchen with only a tail gate not a hatch (I kind of like that). But it is camp-able!!!!
I'm so excited! I get to outfit it and play the next week and we leave on Thursday afternoon!
Auntie Miriam... Pictures tomorrow I promise!

Love it when we are so excited to share the news that pictures are promised. I do hope your little TD is all you hope and you have lots of fun "making it your own".
