Almost 6 years for me, just keep a positive outlook and it will happen, keep up the good work !

A nice Sunrise is always good too

Seems like nobody posts much anymore, I try to post and respond so the site keeps plugging along !

Nice Pre-Trout reward, the stars are lining up for a Steelhead report soon

You have had lots of success lately, bummer there was no love today but that means you have to go back out there again and redeem yourself

Thanks, now all I need is some curtains and a mattress, that should get us by till we pick up another trailer

 I had a brainstorm and decided to start a project just in case we wanted to getaway for a weekend without dragging the 5th wheel. Since I got a camper shell for Bad Pig, why not spruce it up a bit and make it habitable for spur of the moment trips The 5th wheel hitch comes out no problem but the rails remain in the bed, so I had to work around them and this is what I came up with
 



Skinned it with 1/4" plywood to keep the weight to a minimum, everything else is 1/2" and 3/4"



I had an idea of what I wanted but no specific plan, just build as I go and I will admit that only having one eye sure made things tough, I measured multiple times and got different measurements     Just had to take my time and keep plugging along ! Time to build the drawer and put a lid on the bed platform




I used a torch and burned the Plywood to bring out the grain, sanded and put a sealer on it, turned out cool I think


Next was time to build a side cabinet for more storage and a support for the bed extension.



At this point my knees and back were killing me from going in and out of the truck but I had to make sure everything was a good fit.



Indoor/outdoor carpet was used for the top and I forget how many trips to Home Depot, I made sure to buy more than I needed and that worked in my favor




Measure twice and cut once.....more like measure 10 times   I had to install the rails for the bed extension and it had to be exact



I trimmed it out with aluminum angle to keep the corners and edges from splintering even though I sanded, plywood always splinters
 


By now I have created quite the mess in the Shop and it was growing each day  


I worked on this every day and the weekends, I think I spent a total of about 14 days, but I had to give myself a few breaks in between as I got frustrated with limited vision and sore body parts from constantly climbing in and out. Today I wrapped things up and I am about 95% complete. Had to represent and add a few stickers to give it Character !







I managed to squeeze in a trip to Bass Pro on Friday, Janie had to start Christmas shopping   
Now it's time to get The Cyclops wet again
