rtfbg 744 #278 Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks for the flowers guys!!! Some day, I'm gonna sit down and count the number of pieces in this trailer. The welder is getting tired of it!!! You know your in a pile of crap when you have to go to the second shelf of clamps!!! LOL All the clamps in this pic are for the backrest ... thats it!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,919 #279 Posted April 30, 2016 From the looks of it you have plenty of clamps hanging under the bench, no excuses, get back to work! Hope you plan on having some cushions for the seats, that much shiny aluminum will fry an egg on a sunny day. Perhaps it should be BYOC, (bring your own cushions). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rtfbg 744 #281 Posted May 13, 2016 Well, the delivery truck showed up today with 3 sticks (72 feet) of material for the roof. So .... tomorrow will be spent cutting and polishing. Hopefully this week the welding dept will have a hole in the schedule for me!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtfbg 744 #282 Posted May 15, 2016 Well, after two days of the cut snd polish show, it's ready for the welder!! I ordered the Sunbrella material for the top, and when I did, gave the top dimensions to the sewing machine babe. I had a stick of material in the saw, and my phone rings ... Bob, can you make the top 58" wide instead of 60", it will save you about $75, DAA yea, since you called me before I cut it!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rtfbg 744 #290 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Wel, just spent another week in the hospital, sure is hard to get anything done in there. Anyway, got the welder on the roof top today, finish her up in the AM, and truck it to the fabric babe so she can have it for the weekend. PVC finally came in for the deco panels, so I will spend the weekend gettin those pieces all cut and painted. I HOPE!!!!!

rtfbg 744 #297 Posted June 6, 2016 Well, I evacuated the Beast to higher ground, as the storm surge has come over the banks. The rain has been heavy, but not continuous, so thats good. Expect the winds to ramp up this evening, so that means tree branches blowing into power lines!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
