Looking good.

I was hoping that was the case but you caught me sicker than a dog and my wife and daughter as well. We have been sick for almost 3 months. It started with the flu, then changed to a nasty sinus infection, then on to bronchitis. I am being pressured from all sides. Heck, have to help my daughter get into her new home and I am moving to a new home in three weeks as well, while working 10 hours a day.

Moving my garage/shop is a BIG undertaking. It would be nice to have the trailer done.

Never marry an interior decorator. I am finally getting her to downsize from 6800 ft on the golf course with an indoor pool and hot tub, to a 5800 ft on the lake (4 years ago) , down to a 3800 ft. with no golf course or lake. (now).

There is going to be one hell of a garage/moving sale.

Love the updated pics.

Thank you.

Good luck on the garage sale and move.

They maybe 6,800 sqft houses?!

I've got a 2,200 sqft house (Me, wife and 3 daughters) and I feel like it's huge. lol

Shit, mine is 720

Got a little bit more done. I put the diamond plate on permanently, including the bottom rail. I also added the beauty trim that seals the joints up the front, across the top, and down the back.

Hopefully things will progress faster now. I spent $200 going to the doctor and found out that the reason I have been sick for the last three months was the flu that triggered a sinus infection causing bronchitis that then caused pneumonia. Got some drugs and hopefully will start feeling alive again shortly. I was coughing so hard that I cracked a rib.

I hope all is well for you and your family.
And, also looking forward to updates on this awesome project.

I need to take some more pix. The rear hatch is completed. I just need to finish the cabinets and lay some carpet. We are getting ready to move, so time is tight.

Moving day. Didn't completely finish it before I had to move to the new house. I had the air bags a bit too inflated and between the jeep and the front of the trailer, I had about 1500 pounds of tools and crap. Even at that, it pulled nice.

I love finding progress pics on this trailer.

Congrats on getting it roadworthy in time to help you move.

How painful was the registration process here in Nor Co btw? I'm looking into building a camp trailer as well.

[old_man]

It wasn't that tough. You do have to fill out some simple paperwork and have the State Patrol inspect the trailer. Your plates will run around $75 a year.

Ouch! You got California beat on that. I pay about $30 or so ever five years for my "permanent" plates on my M416.

*yes, I also find their definition of permanent to be amusing.

Finally getting back to working on this project. Between working 60 hours, being sick, and tearing up a knee, and the wife having two surgeries, and throw in moving, it has been a crappy year. Trying to finish up before having the knee operated on in the next month or so.




I stick built the frames, doors, and even the drawers with full extension slides.
I still need to finish putting in the rest of the latches and handles, but it is coming along.

Got some unexpected time off and finally got everything wrapped up and ready to go.
