Carolyn, yes you can rent it, but I come with it.

 

It's extra for that. :grin:

 

Now that's money well spent! ;)

Awesome workmanship, Erik! I was looking for a teardop trailer for my little rig...never thought of converting the rig itself. Way to work it! :fahq:

Oh, and a woman felt the POWER of the van already, and stayed with me a night in Joshua Tree.

 

That hardly ever happens....

The artwork is

 

black frame: Artist's proof from Phillip McCracken of one of his metal sculptures, with calligraphy by a Local Poet:

If I keep a green bough in my heart, a singing bird will come

 

Chinese Proverb

 

The other is an 1887 Thomas Moran etching print looking at El Cap and Half Dome. Taken from the original metal plates submitted to Roosevelt that lead to making Yosemite a Park.

Wow.

Free Range--- check

Feed--- check

Roosting pole--- check

Hens--- check

 

That's something to crow about!

 

In fact, allow me:

Very impressive. As a fellow finish carpenter I can look at your set up and see where you rushed and see where you took the time to make it perfect.

Make it perfect - plant holder

Rushed - hinges at countertop

make it perfect - lining the grain up on your wardrobe

Rushed - bungee on Ipod

 

 

I'm not being critical and I hope you don't take my observation as such - but I know if I built that and showed it to another carpenter I'd expect the same. (edit to say that I also rcognize it as a work in progress) We all learn from what we see.

 

Magnificent job :tup: :tup: :tup:

Saw this rig in the real. Very nice. Except by the time I saw it, that bottle of Makers was long since empty and laying out in the dirt.

 

Hey E, was it the redhead?

 

Nope, Grad student from Purdue - her last night. I must admit things were with me: windy night, full moon, lots of Makers and Quiddler, a few episodes of CSI... and what do you know?

 

Good to meetcha Will. :brew:

 

I hope you get a call from a certain aid-climbing hottie that knows you - I mentioned you were in town, and she seemed psyched!
