Have been very lax in posting pictures of the camper/vardo as it has evolved to this current state of not quite finished. Got to digging in the picture archives and gathered the ones I have taken and went out this morning and took a set of it as it now sits. Resized and renamed them to give a general idea of what the picture is about and that’s as good as it’s gonna get for now. So here they are for anyone interested. Enjoy…

Few New Pix of Trailer Frame
October 7, 2011Took a few new pictures of the trailer frame after getting the fenders and wheels off. Nothing much to see but figured I would document as much as possible. Also got one picture of my rolling work/tool bench FWIW.
Went to the CO-OP the other day and got about 4 pounds of carriage bolts, washers, and nuts which cost $10.19. Trailer was $150.00 so the total right now is $160.19. I think I got some deck screws just for this job but don’t remember how many pounds or the cost right off. Will see if I can find the receipt for them but if not don’t think they were over $10 if that much.
Today been trying to get the wood sorted out and last paint on the fenders. Just finished grinding the last of some old welds off of the frame so the fenders will sit flat against it when bolted on.
Will see about getting some more pictures of things at this stage in a few.

Starting to come back to life
October 3, 2011Or it feels like it. Been over 2 months down this time. Started back on the D-Ribose 10 days ago and am actually starting to feel like doing things other than sleeping.
Got out a bit earlier and finished clearing one side of the area where I have usable lumber stored or cleared enough to access it anyway. Moved the trailer I’m rebuilding into a camper a little closer and have started laying out some lumber and trying to make some final decisions on what it’ll look like. Trailer is 8 feet long by 4 feet wide and I want the body to be about 10 feet long and 6 & 1/2 feet wide. So gonna have to go a foot forward and backward and between 16 and 18 inches to each side. Should outta be a fun build. Will try to get some pictures as I get to work on it.

Very good article on Nano. I use it fairly regularly editing config files but learned several things that I had no idea it would (or could) do.

One STUPID individual. And yet I know more than one (at least semi) intelligent person that thinks she is quite smart and should be our next president. Guess everyone has blind spots…
