Looking good Louis or do I pronounce that Lewie . . . We Candaians love our French Toast.

It's good to find the groove on tear drop time.

All the best,

Martin

Thanks Martin...
Good because I love Montreal steak seasoning and maple syrup

Today I was off so I've installed all the cross members and gave a try to the inner panel/headliner...
Then took off the panel and pre-drilled it to match the cross members
I've cursed a hundreds times about those 2x2 that I bought at Home Depot and are everything but straight...
Someone knows where to buy 2x2s that don't look like a 90 y/o guy spine ?

Clear grain select cedar ripped from 2x10 x 10ft. Pretty steep cost wise, but nearly 100% yield and you get to use what you pay for with pleasure. Local lumber yard.

Inner panel screwed and glued... now is starts to look like a Teardrop...

Yes, it does....nicely shaped one, too!

[Crazy Frenchy]

Thanks Sharon... To me the more the shape looks like a wing the better...
Tomorrow I'm off ... more work to be done on the tear

Thanks for your warm encouragements guys

The week end has been busy...
One inner wall down... one more to go...
I gave the outer roof skin a try...
I've started to get paranoid about moisture so i've coated everything with penetrating sealant... Inside and out...
I'm not sure it's that a good idea though... When moisture is trapped in an enclosed space it has to go somewhere... What do you think guys ?


I have an illegal passenger


It looks pretty much okay from 9 ft away... it's when you get closer that you see the little problems

Inner right wall on, electric cables for lights and roof vent fan on, first window on...

I doubt that extra sealant will hurt anything and it could keep delamination at bay. I did a little of that in some places, too. However, hopefully, you'll have your teardrop sealed well and it won't get moisture between the walls.

You're making good progress. ...Cute kids!

Hi y'all

Beautiful days are coming back and I found a little time to work on my trailer...
It's been a year or so now ... I know that's not fast but I'm still here

See you soon
