Howdy all! Well all the electrical is done! finally! Everything we did electrical wise worked out like we planned. I will try to get some after dark pictrues soon. Friday night we had a electrical lock in and me and Noel did not stop till we were done with it.




Nice pic of where it all comes together. It has a lot more connected to it now.






Saturday consisted of a weighted punch list. We got through it as it did take all day.






We even got the Escape wired and ready for action. Wasn't too tough at all. I used to do this sort of thing for a living about 18 years ago. It's amazing how it all comes right back to you.





Noel and her mom were able to get some curtians made. They look great and when Noel get's done with the bedding and all I will get some more pics.





Noel started pulling the plastic off. We've been waiting to do this for so long it seems. It was great to see it come off!







Noel let me do the other side! Man that was satisfying!






Our Daughter Cheyanne got pull off some too! Nice and shiney!

Well it's Sunday morning and everyone is still sleeping. I was able to get the rain gutters installed and did some water proofing of some stuff under the trailer that we noticed were bare the other night. I also got the flag set up installed and ready to go. We will have a Texas flag for the other side but we still need to go get those.

Well that's about it for now. We will be moving out Wed. morning for a five day stay in the tear. I hope it all pans out! :) I'm sure it will. We will keep you updated! I think today Noel will get the bedding in and all that ready. I'm anxious to see how it will all work out. Catch ya'll later.

Happy July 4th!

Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th of July. We spent ours on the trailer. Our morning consisted of the actual trailer wiring and Noel finished up her work on the galley door.






I spent about 3 hours on my back getting all the wiring hooked up and stowed away.















Here's the galley lid finished up, still need to put the seal on and few odds and ends. Should have about only a hour or so to finish up. Great work babe!



We also got the radio antenea put on. Took a bit of rigg'n but got it done and works great. We also did a bunch of the wiring inside the trailer but didn't get many pics. So many odds and ends were done today the list would go on forever. The countdown has begun we have 6 days (really a bit less) to get campable. If we don't run into any major problems we should be able to make it.


See ya'll

Lights, Vents and Poly Oh My!

Hey it's Tuesday! Got to admit they are better than Mondays!

We got quite a bit done tonight. Noel started early this evening with getting the poly on the hatch. I was able to get all the holes and what not filled and it sanded for her last night. She also finished off some pieces on the inside. I was kinda jumping around again.


I was able to get all the marking lights installed. Come tomorrow I will be getting all the electrical squared away and finished.






This one is for ole' Classic Finn over at the t&ttt forums. They were ribbing me on my hatch support. So here I got one made that doesn't consist of a 2xfour.... :P It's actuall a modified Kamp pal from wally world. It worked out pretty good for now any ways. I'm not real sure what we will be doing for this later. I didn't really build the hatch to support any gas hinges so we will have to wait and see. "it's an upgrade" coming soon to a winter near you.




Here's a pic of the vent and one of the lights. We have another vent just like it on the other side and 3 other lights. We were running low on battery in the camera so that's about it for the pics. See ya tomorrow! hopefully with a fully wired tear. :)

Saturday and Sunday!

Howdy all! We have made it to another weekend. This means I have only this weekend and the next the get this trailer usable. It's time to put the hammer down. As long as my hammer holds out. :)

I still pose the same question. Do we really need doors? We have the other side door made and installed. I would have to say that this has been my least favorite of the build. Anyways, they are built, installed and hopefully don't leak. We still need to finish the wood parts and do some other touch ups but that won't take too long and should be able to wipe that out during the week.

I don't remember just what we were looking at on this door but it was a good pic the door so I included it here.

Here's the other door and we were trying to deside just how we were going to mount the AC. We built a small frame on the AC it self that work quite well. Once the AC is in the window it should be water tight and solid.

Here's a pic of it from the inside on some trial fitting runs. Looks like it will work.

Me and Noel were able to get our daugher Cheyanne, out Sunday morning. Man getting those teenagers out of bed is a chore in itself. While Noel was out taking care of some items we needed for the trailer Chey came out and helped me get the fenders mounted. Then we took them off again and painted them and once dry she helped me with putting them back on again.

See we are having fun, that is what it's all about right?

Here's the fender all mounted and ready for action but needs a bit of decoration so see pics below to see how the turned out.

Getting started on the trim. This wasn't too tough but very time consuming. Did I mention it was getting hotter by the minute.

Almost done with this side.

Well, there it is with all the trim on. Come out really sharp. We think it did anyways. The other side is complete also. I started with the under trailer wiring and decided I had over heated a bit and quit for the night. Noel worked on getting some curtians made and the bed ready go in also so we got quite a bit done this weekend. We have about 8 days to go before we will need the trailer. One more weekend and a holiday on Wed. We don't have any plans for the 4th this year so I'm sure we will spend the day working on the tear.

See ya'll next time. It's time to go to work and recover...hehe!
