I'm a newbie in West Tennessee near Memphis and yes, Elvis is still alive and doing well.
I've been lurking around here a few weeks and doing some research. My neighbor (Bob) and I are both retired and we plan on building our first teardrop together real soon. Our reasons for building are: we are both retired, our wives want us out of the house, and most of all, a teardrop build looks fun and challenging. We plan on building a Benroy or modified Benroy style 5x10. And, if it all goes well and it's as much fun as we think it will be, I'll help Bob build his. 
My brain is already full
so I'm not absorbing all of great information I've found on the forum. I'm ready to get out of the design phase and get the tools out! 
Thanks to all who posted their trailer builds, misc info, and images. You sure help us newbies out. This site is great!

I use to think that the second of anything would turn out better until I started working part time helping my son on his construction projects. When we were rookies, we would start on a back wall or whatever and take our time and get it perfect and by the time we got to what really shows, our work wouldn't turn out so good. I guess time will tell with the trailers. There is so much to learn building the trailer, you are probably right this time. Thanks for the welcome.
