Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime.......

Well, since the project ran out of funds a month or more ago, progress has ground to a halt.  That and yard work has stepped in to consume any extra hours of light in the day.  I have made minimal progress but until I can come up with more funding....you know.

Testing out new sprinkler lines before trenching
Experimenting with drip irrigation of some flower pots


 Meanwhile, in quiet repose in the garage.....


Here's the new sink with its new faucet next to the stove
It should be just about right....and if not, there is a 6" spout, too
Cutting slots for the laterals, or rafters if you prefer
Test fitting
The top four laterals stapled in place (only three shown)

Next on the list is to get the remaining four laterals in place and clean up a couple of stray staple legs which went askew when they went in.  After that, I suppose I need to work on refurbishing the door frame so I can cut out the bracing in the doorway.  I will temporarily install the frame to maintain the structural integrity of the curbside wall.  Currently I've been gaining access to the trailer through the front of the dinette but as soon as the last of the laterals are in, that way will be blocked.  Then if I can get the roof in place so things can be tightened up that would be extra good.  It might begin to look suspiciously like a trailer at that point!

And there has been some camping taking place, too.....in case you were worried.

This photo cannot convey the impressive majesty of this cloud formation
