Don , the problem I have with this guy is he's a musician ( probably the best guitar player in the city ) and his schedule is 180 deg. off from mine ... He sleeps all day , plays all night ...(opposite from me ) just can't seem to get together .. It's gonna' happen , just not soon enough for me ...

Sorry , old people (like me) tend to be a bit impatient , our time being finite, we want it NOW !!!! :lol:

Anticipating a quick conversion , cleaning, painting , customizing on a mini scale ... Shouldn't take more than a couple days ... once I get it ...

Congratulations!

Looking forward to the pictures of your conversion. I have a small 4'x8' that I am considering for something similar to what you are planning.

TNS, you have any ideas yet for yours?

by **tnsurveyor** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 12:29 pm

Kinda, but nothing concrete.

I really would like it to be multi-purpose. I own a small land surveying firm, and I work on alot of small construction sites. I would like to have a place for my laptop, and be able to roll out a set of blueprints.

I would also like to be able to haul my atv in it as well for when I have a road trip.

It would be nice to have a removable bed to make it multi-purpose. My dad has a few army cots that I am going to see about borrowing and trying them out. I have seen a very simple "box" that was built on the Harbor Freight frame that could be built in a few hours. Thinking keep it simple and as inexpensive as possible.

Frustrated !!! The trailer owner keeps stalling me with "next week" , then that week passes by and No trailer .... grrrrrrrrr!!!! Worse, the nice weather has been replaced by cold and windy ... Not ideal for trailer work ... :roll:

There goes that plan ...

Oh well, at least I've gathered All my materials and gear ... got that ready for Whenever I do manage to get the trailer .. If and when ...

Trying to be patient , but .... :oops:

GPW,

I feel your pain... oops that one has already been used, damn!

Be that as it may, I hope it works out soon for you as I look forward to implementation of your plans. You have planning skills I seriously lack, and I mean that sincerely, as anyone should be able to tell via my lack of planning and subsequent redo in my thread.

Don , me being an old guy , it would only appear that I'm organized, but actually it just means I spent many years , doing things , and then re-doing them due to a lack of planning ... :oops:

Just now (retired) I have a little time to put more thought into projects ... giving the mere appearance of organization ... :oops:

UPDATE: Now the fellow tells me Thursday for the trailer ... :roll:

This is like trying to chase around Keith Richards to buy a guitar ... Rock Stars , musicians .... grrrrr!!! :lol:

Hold on !!! I ARE one too

... and I showed the band a pic of the trailer , and they said , "Good , something to carry the equipment "... AARGH !!! :oops:

Thinking , if /when I get this trailer , it's going to be used a LOT more than my Jayco ... which , while I'm waiting for the CT , have been secretly converting the Jayco over to all electric , and saving a good deal of weight in the process ... so more of my stuff can be carried ... My stock payload weight is only 800 lbs.. :shock:

Including the wife and I , the dumb dog and the cat ... which is half of that ... doesn't leave much room for stuff that you'd really like to bring ... :lol:

GPW,

I am looking at retirement next spring, which, hopefully will provide me a bit more time to work on the CT.

So tell me more about your Jayco conversion to electric. PM me if you think such a conversation isn't appropriate to your thread (I don't want to hijack your thread).

>>This is like trying to chase around Keith Richards to buy a guitar.<<

Or get some dope from him...stingy ass that he likely is.

Retirement is kinda' nice really !!! :thumbsup:

More time to work on projects , and a little SS money to help finance them ...

Don , I'll PM you with the details and the reasons ... Everyone here has heard enough of my TT rants ... :oops:
