That is awesome - the ultimate in redneck stemware.

Which reminds me - I never posted the pics of my in law's red solo cup Seder last year.

Saturday, we picked up a lightly used costco carport for $160 bucks!!!
WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't seemlike there are enough bungee cords. O well, our other carport has TOO MANY bungee cords. So, it should work out. We're gonna do a test set up in the coming weeks, just to make sure all is good.

Then it wasn't the only Costco Car Port that went flying ass-over-teakettle down the street this year before people thought to stake the sucker down.

my old e-machine fried itself by exploding a cdr in the CD player. Shards of plastic everywhere. I got a Google next book and a 16gig micro card . Now I have gone wireless, with many wondrous apps. This is my first posting with the new.

Tattoogoddess - looks like you're on a roll! What are are the y straps you mentioned?

We picked up a hitch mount bike rack this weekend and a few small used clothes items for cutting and creating. Also picked up a bunch of fabric on clearance.... Now just need to figure out what we are going to do with it.

Submitted the mutant vehicle app to DMV. Wish me luck!

Acquired the last bits of wood for my 7' mini man.

Good luck, Bounce!

Ahh. They are German military suspenders. On their own: kinda swank (good designers). In context of the whole outfit: I still don't blame you for walking separately, Tattoogoddess. He has a right to wear it, and you've got the right to be elsewhere when he does.

back in the day i bought a pair of what was labeled polish army boots from the hipster army surplus. in retrospect they looked an awful lot like german jackboots

i will say this, i rocked the shit out of those things. was actually thinking about getting another pair but i'm on the fence

clocksnmirrors · Post by **clocksnmirrors** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:01 pm

purchased a 6x12 trailer for my move out west. i'll also use it for my primary shelter for TTitD.

now onward to planning shade, cooling, etc

FIGJAM · Post by **FIGJAM** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:21 pm

Trailer pictures please!

Post by **Savannah** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:35 pm

Show us your trailer!

KeithT · Post by **KeithT** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:15 pm

Thanks Tattoogoddess! I thought I saw someone talking about y-shapped straps for their monkeyhut and since I am in the process of planning my hut, your mention y straps caught my eye. Those ones are really cool.... might have to look into them some more...

clocksnmirrors · Post by **clocksnmirrors** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:29 pm

at the moment it's a garden variety 6x12 utility trailer

i can't wait to do some mods. first thing will be changing the side door to a camper style door

Post by **Savannah** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:32 pm

Very cool.

clocksnmirrors · Post by **clocksnmirrors** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 2:15 pm

thanks!

i know it's really basic but it's clean inside with plenty of room for a shortish fellow such as myself

FIGJAM · Post by **FIGJAM** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 2:17 pm

DON'T REPLACE THE DOOR!!!!!!!!

Since that door fits perfectly, you can just add a knob and lockset.

You may have to add some thickness to the jam and door to do this, but just screwing some 1"x4" or 2"x4" in place to get the proper thickness for the lockset will do it.

I would add a hasp to the outside to make sure the door can't vibrate open while going down the road.

the door stays!

here's what i'm concerned about:
- i don't want to get locked inside my trailer with no way to get out
- i want to be able to lock it from the inside while i'm in there sleeping

when you recommend adding a hasp on the outside does that mean you're suggesting removing the existing lever/handle style latch?

oh how i wish you were here! i saw your custom built trailer and was in awe
