You should record that and show it to us all.

My Dad and brother in law helped me for a while today.  We pulled the trailer out and attached the walls.  We put some temporary braces on them until I can finish framing it up next week.  We moved it to a different building because it was to tall for where I have been storing it.  I have it under a roof now.  The ground is sloped so we jacked up the lower side and front.  I wanted to get it all level before I did any more work to it.  I managed to smash my thumb pretty bad while we were trying to get supports under the frame. 




I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I'm slowly getting there Bubby.  That is what Guy helped me with.


Knoll, No slide out units on this one.

Bill, it's going to have 2 windows so I'll get some good cross ventilation going.  I can also get an air freshener for it.  And I have plenty of ear plugs.

I'll pull it up there Clint .......I was just pulling your chain...  :)
You might want to bring a gas mask. >:D

That thing is looking good so far. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be. Hopefully I see it at Marshall.

I am surprised you were able to resaw accurately with a band saw that size even with the sweet springboard get-up; cool project enjoying seeing it come together thanks for sharing. You keeping a chart of costs and hours for a total at the end?  I bet Ramada III and IV would get even more efficient

Guy, I'm putting two doors on the back to access the storage area.

Lumber man, I have all the receipts from Lowe's but I haven't been keeping track of the amount or the time I've spent on it.  My band saw did pretty well.  It's a 1hp.

Clint what size are you thinking for the bed , I have a couple of extra mattresses  left from a prodgect .
you would be welcome them to them
 if  you want them I will dig them out and measure  them
that would be one more thing out of my shop
they are from a furniture place that did hideabed couches
 they are foam about 4 inches thick

I'm not sure on the size yet Guy.  I was planning on using my queen size air mattress but I'm open for better ideas.  I would guess the bed platform would be 70" x 72" roughly.
