Today was a total loss, timewise and financially, and it is not yet over.

Bonnie the pup is back with the vets, being kept in hospital till Monday.

Already just the initial bloodwork, drips, antibiotics etc are making my eyes water.

Unexpected expenses are a pain, but we love our animals a whole lot, so it will be as it is.

Looking back to about September last year…..

Never anticipated going this far at polishing this turd.

And today we are this far down that rocky road.

So I cleaned up the aluminium that was left over from the Grizz Pod Teardrop Trailer build 12 years or so, ago.

Cleared some more holes and prepared the ply that will become the master template with all the correct holes, cutouts etc for the aluminium

And then did the basic cutout.

Loads of holes etc to be made.

Also cutting to fit nice and tightly.

The fenders and firewall are a curved piece, so one needs to keep to the flat surfaces.

Getting there.

More tomorrow.
