How to build a teardrop trailer.
There has been little progress on the jPod. I got sick with E.Coli and a broken nose (surgery soon). Senior Management and I are in the process of moving so the jPod has been a bit neglected. The exciting bit though is that the new house will have a two car garage that doesn’t flood […]
I just got back from a camping trip for a week. While I was gone, Sr. Management & one of our neighbors continued priming the jPod (see Body:External). While I was gone, I tested out the Camp Chef Camp Oven. Nathan and I made Tea on the stove top while baking cinnamon rolls & gluten […]
I have had to develop many of my methods for construction. I have also had lots of input from other tear builders. However, I think the most innovative craftsman out there is a guy named Joe Harmon. He is building a car out of wood that will go 240mph. The jPod is not a car […]
It has been a while since my last post & update. Senior Management & I have been focused on the jPod more than the jPod website. But for all of those people who have been keeping up, here is what has been going on. I started teaching again so my life came to a complete […]
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 […]
