Pop-up book making corner in my bedroom
Up to my old trix! loading a whole bunch of crazy crap in my bike trailer and riding around town with my dog!
wood
from pallets saved for me @ the jittery Joe's Roaster. These will
become the frames to go with the roofing tiles for my ceiling
Me and my long time old friend Bobbie! I met him when I was 16 and he always hollers at me and keeps his eyes out for me
I
got these landscaping lights on super sale @ the hardware store. I
mounted them in the basement area of the plumbing compartment so that
if/when I have to get in there and work all i have to do is turn the
lights on!
Nerding out over my plumbing! Do you know how awesome this solid fitting is!!!!! 3/4" ID threaded to 1/2" PEX barb!
1"
- 1.5" copper reducers, elbows and Ts for the drain i have to build
before i can connect the above floor plumbing to the basement plumbing. I
need 3' each of 1' and 1.5' copper pipe
Making pop-up books, gluing covers..
My crew
Finished
sealing and insulating the basement as far as I can. All that is left
now is the area above the axles, which is open until I finish the
plumbing. Today I installed the dishwater trays that will be the frames
for the storage compartments

starting
to build the wheel wells, using wood frames, covered with ISO boar and
them will finish with metal. Port side in progress
Starboard side before.. shot of MC cable wiring coming from the back of the trailer to the junction boxes in the front.
junction boxes mounted facing up so that i can easily get at them from inside in the future
junction boxes
wood frame on the right, foam board on the left, wheel well in progress
into the corner, gonna have to cut away some of the siding to make the wheel well bigger
bracket mounted to the frame to receive the exterior lights, holes marked and pre-drilled
Nice shot of the bird going into it's nest!
Butol on the back of the fixture before inserting screws through pre-drilled holes
through bolted to the frame, wires will be joined in the octagon box
Exterior light! Now that it is installed I can finish insulating the walls!
Starboard side, back exterior light
Port Side lights
I
salvaged all the insulation i could from the rolls that got
rained/snowed on. They were wet about three inches into the pieces, so I
just cut that away. there are two more large bags not pictured. This is
mostly R-30 for the ceiling, with a little R-19 for the walls and R-13
to add to the basement. This is all the rest of the insulation I need to
finish.
I put a few coats of polyurethane on the cherry boar I made to mount the copper bathroom plumbing to. I think it looks nice!
I
made these burlap bags months ago, and am jut now able to install them,
now that the sealing/insulation of the basement is completed. There are
four of these under the floor storage compartments. The idea behind
using fabric bags for the walls is that they wil be somewhat flexible,
and if they get a bunch of dirt and crap in them I can juts lift them up
and turn them inside out to clean them.. like emptying your pockets!
This is not really a priority to finish, but like harvesting low
hanging fruit, it is satisfying to have accomplished a project i have
been preparing for months.
The dish washer trays are in, and now I can install the compartment lining, as seen on the right.
I
love burlap! These sacks are not actually burlap though, they are
plastic made to look like burlap.. that way the won't get moldy!
Cut away the wheel well opening
Recycled burlap sacks for the storage compartment walls.
Yes, I am building my house with duct tape .
Juts holding the metal i place while I reverse build the back wheel
well wall. There is no way i could get a piece of metal in there behind
the tires if i built the wall first.
Duct tape is the jam
Then the foam, had to be cut into four pieces to fit around the bar and floor joists.
Then the wood
looking back
thanks for the creeper Ken Ogletree!
I have taken several of these selfies in my door.. add this one to the collection
And one more!
wiring enclosed
SHINY!!!!
my wind chimes were blown apart after all these years, so I fixed them with a hot water heater cap and some kite string
work bench. building wheel well frames
Monkey chillin' in the shade
This huge piece of equipment showed up today to start demolishing the lot where my trailer has been parked! I had better hurry up!!!!
Cover the installation with plastic to act as a vapor barrier and also to hold it in place. Ahh.. duct tape!
Bracing the deck hinges from inside with pressure treated wood and steel. The decks need to be installed to protect the glass door in transit.
