Hot Rod...Burning down the house!!!

[Martiangod]

Making cabinetts, man wish I had a garage....
the trailer isn't the only thing Morphing... My computer room slash laundry has now morphed into a workshop, table saw and chop, router table and sawdust....he he he, gotta make these quick or the wifes gonna kill me.
Good thing she loves me or I'd be livin in the trailer
By the way, laundry appliances make a great worktop for the chop saw

[Martiangod]

Doors made
And why am I not dead yet, and she even saw her laundry room



Cabinet face Clear pine stained Minwax Manderine Orange
cab over gaucho



Galley cab





Doors framed with red oak stained with Varathene Weathered Grey, wiped thin for pickeled look
Paneling is Cape Cod so its a weathered grey tone

Diamond plate inserts, cause I can't waste leftovers
Brushed nickel hinges from Habitat store, $4
Knobs, left overs from a tear out I did

Doors installed over Gaucho





Still have to do galley doors, few things running around the cavity between my ears.
Need to look at it a bit to decide, I think thats enuff Diamond plate

water pressure
Dumb question, but hey I'm new to this stuff, both owning and designer, builder, engineer.
Do you have the one pump from the cold supply to feed the pressure for your entire water system, hot and cold, and then run out of cold water before you lose pressure to keep from running out of water in the hot tank, and maybe burning out your element?

You have a solar charging system, way cool!
I'm considering a windmill.

since you love the computer so much, did you do blue prints of the build (3 angles and the isometric?) do you have plumbing and electrical blue prints / diagrams. My layout is different from yours, but the sequence of devices and arrangements would be a help. Will your inverter/charger charge when there's ac (and sense it and not blow up) or make ac when it's not there, from the batteries?

I know why your hide ain't nailed to the laundry room door.

2 reasons.
1 she doesn't need to use the washer this minute.
2. she know that once your trailer is finished, she gets to go with you! :-)

No plans at all, this is completley winging it
If I planed something, I can never stick to the plans anyway.
Started it on the spur of the moment and my vision keeps changing as I go.
originally the plan was to have the bed hinge up against the front wall above the wastline and have a dinette beneath it

[PcHistorian]

but instead you are using the back of the couch to double the bed width. Well that makes sense.

I may end up using mine to haul tools, supplies, etc... around to jobs too. That's the plan anyway. I just have to watch the floor load until I can weld in more cross braces underneath. I loaded up some stumps to take camping and use for fire wood. They made the floor visibly flex. (cross beamed rectangular steel, every two feet, for the full 4' width of the trailer. so the 1/2 inch particle board loads up over a 2' x 4' area. I want to put in braces to reduce that to 2' x 1.3'. Can I arc weld that close to wood or do I have to dismantle or use asbestos sheets to protect the wood?
(arc welder is on the wish list. :-)

Cheez - things are happening apace! I really love the new exterior design!

Just keep going, don't stop!

Well the plan is to have it as done as its gonna get by April, lay out the bed for level loading.
Couch will just fit ahead of closet, floor leveled at bed hieght and pack underneith, cloths, electronics and what ever else we can fit under and then one antique dresser , atoman, and tv and bed above, gettin rid of everything else. Hence the 36" Door. Tools go in truck where they spend most of their lives anyhow. Store it at trailer yard where I work out of. Getting rid of house, live out of our park trailer for the summer, then move across country to Alberta in late fall after my RV season is done...Well thats the plan anyway.
Finishing touches like sink, Wall Mounted Diesel heater and Dinette and cushions will come after the move.
And if all loads as expected, mattress will bridge over the couch and automan and we will be able to crawl in and snooze on the 1 week trip out there and save a bit on hotel rooms

Well I think I have too much time on my hands
I can't afford trailer siding, need good weather for painted canvas so it looks like aluminum, I can't get 4 x 10 sheets up here, so 4 x 8's it will have to be.



I think this is my favorite rendition
Last name starts with a T and there is two of us, hence the Power of "T " symbol

Think thats this builds name now

Power of T

Still not dead
Made up my ceiling trim, Stained manderine then routered out and 1/4 detail stained in the weathered grey





Got the doors made for the galley Cab



Put shelf on one side for plates cubs and whatever



Left the other side open for bigger stuff

[PcHistorian]

at that rate you are going to be road ready real quick here.
are you going to mount a microwave under those corner roof cabinets?

If I can come up with the right texture on the exterior, lightly pebbled, paint a pueblo sandy color with a little red to appease my
everything must match mentality,,,IE: red truck...I'm thinking the exterior may end up more like this.

Cool!

I've liked all of the color schemes you've come up with. I think I like this one the best, though.

[Martiangod]

Photoshop causes me more work...lol

This is the floor plan as it stands for now



When I can afford the above floor holding tank, 20" x 20" supporting tank bottom drain.
A marine toilet will go in closet and a coat hooks over movable cabinette
And thinking of a lift floor in front of the door and a shower pan below floor level

Does building a trailer cause you sleepless nights???
