More pictures

Here is a picture of the front wall. I put the front wall on first... Used Sika 221 glue, and a bunch of screws. I wasn't too worried about glue coming out the sides, I actually wanted that to happen. Above the bench seats, I'm going to put 1/2 inch plywood studs, and insulate then cover with some launa.... That's the plan for now anyway.... next pic.
Front wall again. I did use a sheet of MDX for the floor mainly because of the weight issue. All the indoor and out door wood will be treated with Doc Rot wood treatment... Plus the floor will be painted, and I'll probably finish it with laminate...
Here is a picture of the wall resting against the camper bed. I put it up to get more accurate measurements, to make sure everything will fit. If you noticed, I left a couple lightening holes open so I can lift the wall into place!!
Ahhh yes, here is a picture of me, lying dead on the camper. I'm tired. My wife and I have been moving like crazy in the past couple weeks. We both are looking forward to having a fun weekend together in the camper....

Back working again!!

Hello All!! I'm finally updating my blog site. It has been very busy lately but I managed to get some truck and camper work done. This is my 1987 chevy K20 pickup. Yes it's rusty, yes it's old, but remember, I'm a teacher, not a lawyer! Plus it's paid for!!! Ha! Anyway, I put new tires on, I went with a set of BF Goodwich Commercial TA's All Season. I've used AT tires before, but this truck eats em up too fast. Plus I figured I'd try a highway tire to see how many miles I can put on. I also went up a size, 265/75/16 Load range E. Next step is to find a box, and get some body work done! On to the next picture.....
This is a picture of my neighbor Lewis and I sitting talking camper. Lewis is a very nifty old man to talk to that's for sure.
Here is the truck camper as of today. ... I put the front and back walls up first. However, just for fun I put up one side wall up just to see what it will look like. I can't put the side walls up yet, because I wouldn't be able to get it out of the garage!!!!
Here is a picture of the back wall. I'm putting on turn lights, and 5 running lights on top. I was going to put a flood light, but I decided to put them on the bumper of my pickup instead.
My wife and I went and picked out some siding for the camper, However, after putting it on, you can see in this picture that it already started to warp. Grrr. I'm not too worried though because that side I will be putting up a tall cabinet that will hold a portapotty, and a coat rack.
