Re: 76 Terry Taurus

thanks guys
its sure a lotta work when you start rippin
If i was to do it again i'd prob go start with a bigger trailer
level it flat and build it up from the floor in a square(of course) shape
like a house,with house type windows/doors,the none drafty kind

and after a year of using the deck,we love it.best upgrade yet

na he's not spoiled eh....mmmmm bacon
behind me you can see i moved the corner support for the gazebo out to gain access to the shed area
next year we are gona pull it out and leave more room in front of the BBQ/shed

somebody said there were bears seen on the beach....compared to buddys paw i duno

Re: 76 Terry Taurus

Thats the most amazing thing I've ever seen done to a trailer, you are a great carpenter and designer! It was really something how fixing a leak turned into a remodeling of the whole trailer. What did you do with your old work of art? And where did you get that wicker blade fan? I love wicker blade fans and cant find them anywhere!

Re: 76 Terry Taurus

thanks
the fan was a cheapy only wicker for one side
lol the work of art is sold,but sitting in storage till we move it
seems the jerk that did all the work didn't bolt the box to the floor lol
(I couldn't get under it in the spot)
there were bets on wether it could still be intact (or roll sideways down hill )
after pulling out....no probs

I was at a friends garage, seen a wicker fan and asked it it new?
No it was my grandmas(found it still in the box)
His mom wants it but they figured 20 plus years old lol

Re: 76 Terry Taurus

after thinking out how to open the canopy and use the gazebo too
we figured extending the deck 6 feet would give room for both
