I'm into this one about 3200 in materials and consumables and probably sixty hours of labor, but it was a good learning experience.

Shoo, with the price of lumber and just material in general I can believe that! It stinks everything is so high, I tossed the idea around of building my own a few months ago after I sold off my 16' car trailer. Found a local outfit that does trailers really reasonably and called on the right day, snagged a 18'L 92W" car hauler, 4" c channel frame, wood deck, slide in ramps, LED lights, 3500lb axles with brakes, aluminum wheels with radial tires, 1900lb empty, for $3200 out the door. It certainly doesn't have the character or fit the theme of yours, plus you built it so there's the pride in that!
