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 …
Today is a good day! It is always a good day when it rains because it cleans all of the airborne wheat out and I can breathe (No dust mask for the first time in almost a month). It is also a good day because we got one of the walls completely framed up. See …
Well it is a new week and time to resume work on the jPod. Yesterday, Senior Management and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. I had made some plans for the day to treat my woman out. We ended up doing some of them. She actually wanted to work on the jPod together for part …
Today was inspection day and the trailer passed. It is now licensed and street legal. This will make getting additional supplies easier. The officer inspecting the trailer was impressed with how beefy it is. I have put some final statistics on the Chassis page. The walls are cut out. I have put some photos of …
I had great plans for yesterday but not much happened. That lurking beast (work) needed some attention so I did my website development thing for about 10 hours. Senior Management and I did get the floor on the trailer and I got some paperwork taken care of for tomorrow’s inspection. Today, I got my temporary …
Yesterday I got quite a lot done (although it doesn’t look like much). I went through the cycle of painting the bottom of the floor four times with Rust-oleum and then putting automotive undercoat on it. It turned out quite well. I have added photos of the process to Body:External. I also finished a wiring …
