I am a retired sales manager from the Forrest Products Industry and have been an outdoorsman all my life. When I retired, I began to do most of my camping out of a little BMW convertible; one small step up from a backpack as far as volume is concerned. On a trip across the "Blue Ridge Parkway" I saw a couple of teardrops and figured that was the perfect solution to my dilemma. After thinking about it for a couple of years, I finally bought a set of plans on the internet and about a week later I discovered this web site. I have been lurking in the background for the past month reading the posts and gaining a wealth of information from the members of this forum. The residual knowledge of this group and the innovation employed in many of the builds has really impressed me. I discovered the free generic BenRoy plans on the site and realized that the set I had purchased appeared to be partial copies of the same plans so, using the more complete plans from TNTTT, I began my build about mid August. I am building an oak "woodie" and have just finished installing the profile walls and am beginning on the cabinetry. I just wanted to give a loud shout out
thank you for all the help that I have found in these threads. This group is the best 
. I will figure how to get some pictures on the site soon. My goal is to have it completed by the end of September so I can use it for the Fall foliage season and the hunting season 
. The great thing about living in the Southeast is that I can utilize my new toy year round. I already have most of the vintage toys - Coleman cooler, multiple lanterns and stoves, and a full compliment of cast iron cookware 
. I found a new reason to get out of the recliner and feel right at home on this site. You folks have led me astray. Thank you. 
with a five car garage. Two of the bays are double deep so my TD will always be inside except when in use, but I still want to take every precaution I can in the prep and finish. I read someone's post, perhaps yours, that it was a good idea to camphor the trim to be sure it doesn't hold water. I have the time and tools to do it right. Now I need to see if I have the skills to end up with something half as nice looking as yours
