Getting Going

I bought this giant roll of fiberglass a few weeks back. It's 72" wide and weighted somewhere between 200 to 300 lbs. One reason it was such a good deal is the store couldn't really handle it. It took 3 guys to get it into the car and our neighbor happened to have a appliance truck. It was all Abby and I could do to get it out of the car and into the patio. I ended up taking the hear axle off the spar trailer and built this stand. The axle is a bit loose in the tube, but it rolls OK.

On Tuesday, I cut a bunch of material for framing the bulkheads. The cutting of the pieces went pretty fast, but took most of the afternoon to get them all glued and nailed to the bulkheads.




The hope in building at home is to make it something of a family project. Here John is practicing his woodworking.
