How to build a teardrop trailer.
Recently, the weather has been so nice that I have focused on building rather than blogging. So I thought I’d pause to make an update on my progress with the jPod. First, I removed my cabinet on the inside & started over. I decided to make my electrical access box larger (possibly to accommodate a […]
Progress on the jPod has been slow since summer & it is tempting to be depressed about that. The only difference is that I am trying to keep up with teaching in addition to daily life. Yet, I am happy to have a job even if it distracts me from the build. A while back, […]
My father-in-law just had a birthday. For his 60th, the family celebrated by hanging out with 50 or so of his friends. He is one of those people that I hope I can be when I’m 60. He is an Ironman triathlete and plans to do the Coeur d’Alene Ironman again this coming June, 2009. […]
The glue dried on the galley hatch & I opened things up this morning. It looks really nice. It fits the curve of the trailer perfectly. I also did some sanding and other fine adjustments. I am pleased with the outcome. As far as this blog is concerned, visual impact is minimal (See: galley). However, […]
My latest work on the jPod occurred last weekend. I decided to rework the galley hatch a bit. I felt that the skin could work better for the shape of the trailer & line up on the hinge better than I had it. In the end, I strapped everything down, shimmed the entire inside of […]
After finishing off the Cowboy Pot roast, Senior Management and I decided that I must make another Dutch Oven dish. This time I made “Chicken Dumpling Stew” (A few Pics Below). It turned out really well. I used a recipe found in the cookbook “Texas Treasury of Dutch Oven Cooking“. The corn was processed & […]
This past weekend, Senior Management treated me for my birthday. She made a spectacular breakfast Saturday Morning & scheduled the rest of the day just for the two of us. It was my first day off in 18 and a welcome change from daily life. Sunday morning was spent with family & then we all […]
Christmas afforded little time for work on the jPod but some work was accomplished. With about 5 feet of snow in a week, I spent most of my spare time shoveling the driveway, street, roof, other people’s driveways & roofs, pulling people out of the ditch, & generally wishing I could move without aching. Plus, […]
Well it has finally happened. I had a few spare minutes to sort through some of the tools and scraps of wood enough that some progress could be made on the jPod. Moving to a new house really messed up my build organization. However, the move also provided me with a safe wheat-free environment & […]
Senior Management and I have had a busy couple of weeks. We bought a new house, moved to it, and the day after moving I had a nose surgery. The best news is that when we moved the jPod to the new house, it went really smoothly. I hardly knew it was behind the Jeep. […]
