Can anyone tell me wtf this thing is and how does it work? View attachment 290845
first, make sure the blade is on the arm correctly, with the shark fins facing forward.
next, mix your favorite boat motor oil, 25:1, with old *s-wordty gas.
as soon as you get it started, hold throttle wide open for 2-3 minutes to warm it up. then engage blade to the wood, preferably with a back and forth motion.

Had wondered about that. I've never used the stuff before. Where do you buy it? How easy is it to apply? What's clean up like? How durable is it? Would a coat of bedliner still be needed? I also wondered how easy it would be to shoot the $hit on under the trailer. I had it lifted up about as far as the dingo would raise it.

menards and Home Depot both sell a kit to do it. Seen a contractor do it and tell me about it. Said they charge 2k to spray rims on a basement finish and they get 600 for the kit. Sprays easy from what I’ve seen. I’m going to buy a kit and spray my rims this year.

Camp last night. It was good to get back out in the woods or very near them at the chit piles in the back of the RV park. I hid behind the leaf vac for a wind break. Rained from 4am to 10am here, sucked. Only places my new screen house 20210411_115936.jpg roof leaked were straight over my head and shoulders mfer.

Bradford pear I trimmed back quite bit last year. It got looped off right about past the last trim near ten years ago I'd guess. Steve had just bought the place. Last weeks pic he sent me. It was trimmed wearing full berries at the worst of times. He worried... said don't worry I prune and shape agressive and it will be fine on an established tree. See the neighbors chit in the backround.

Brad @Woodpecker since you didn't ask I'll give my two cents on the caravan floor....

You might struggle to find a paint that won't react with the foam sheet if you go the inlay (uplay?) route. What about sandwiching the foam sheet between ply top and your choice of sheet goods bottom? I'd vote for alloy, but Ss might be light enough if you can access cover or 2nd grade. Or gfm.

Wow the cell phone and Kindle Fire work good here. Uploads are slow but wth.
Tried WiFi phone calls late last night from the back corner and that worked good also. Closed the the local watering hole last night and meet a few fresh faces, cute two were :campeon:
Barmaid had her best night yet with a biker girl event yesterday.

I'm going truck bed liner on styrofoam. Like this ding-dong did.


I should also mention very little of this build will be my ideas. Folks have been converting cargo trailers into campers for 10-15 years or more. I prefer to let others be the testers. I've seen a few folks who have glued the cheap foam to the bottom of the trailer and just left it as is. I already have the foam and foam board adhesive from other projects. I plan on going the extra step of throwing some truck bed liner up on it for durability. I think it will work fine.

But just say, hypothetically, if the bedliner did eat the foam, would you even know?

If a bear $hits in the woods and nobody is there to see it did it really happen? Hypothetically....
