Much has happened since my last post. However, almost all of what has happened does not involve the jPod. The life of a teacher has overcome me like an ocean wave and I haven’t been able to work on the jPod. Senior Management has done some work on it though. She filled all of the […]
Since my career has picked up again with the start of a new school year, most of my time has been devoted to preparing to teach my classes again. I have also received a shot to help me with my allergies which is mildly helpful (at least it makes it less likely that I’ll suffocate). […]
Yesterday, I wired the cabin of the jPod. Then Nathan (a good friend and faithful reader of this blog) and I insulated it with 1″ insulation. The R values of the insulation dropped the temperature in the cabin considerably. In our discussion, we determined the best physical places for various electrical components. I am going […]
A lot has happened in the past few days. I have spent some time working on the jPod. Senior Management and I have also had to deal with some aspects of reality in life as well (all of which are distracting from the build). The good news is that the internal roof skin is now […]
One of my fears became a reality today. I fear making a major mistake that requires the entire US gov. to help cover up. Today was somewhat productive. I managed to work on the jPod between yard-work and other duties. I did some follow-up sealing work underneath the trailer where the walls attach to the […]
Much has transpired recently. I had quite a violent allergic reaction yesterday that delayed progress on the jPod but today was a bit better. I put a new filter in my ventilator and went to work. Since it has been hard for me to be outside, I’ve been fabricating some parts for the jPod in […]
Pink Floyd had no idea that “comfortably numb” be my state while building a teardrop trailer. With enough epoxy resin in the air, anyone will be comfortably numb. They say to use it in a well ventilated area. Yet they also say to keep it dust free. So the garage and 3 blocks around smell […]
It has been a few days since my last post. Much has happened. Senior Management and I got the outside walls skinned, filled all of the holes, and put the first layer of epoxy on them. I also put a thin layer of polyurethane on the inside of the walls. The walls are wood and […]
I have updated my favorite teardrop links page. There is so much information out there it was hard to slim it down to just the bare essentials. I hope these links are interesting and helpful. I may add to the list more in the future. Today, I plan to keep fiberglassing. It is a messy […]
Yesterday, I awoke feeling good (7 straight hours of sleep!). This is a rare event because of the wheat allergy. Usually, I am awake at night with itching, a migraine, breathing problems, or stabbing pains. A good night of sleep is often motivating. It is just one more reason I am glad Senior Management and […]
