Update 6.3.13

I will make this fairly brief, I’ve got to put together a slideshow for our class graduation from Leadership Meridian tomorrow!  I raced daylight tonight and I won!  I got the deck ceiling and the barn door done… well I still have to add the hardware to the door…

Dad also worked his tail off all day to get the axles on, he made pretty good progress but with a couple more hours of work tomorrow then the axles should be in great shape, I may not even be afraid to hop on the expressway… we will see what the driver has to say, and I may wimp out and decide I don’t want to see all my hard work hurling down the road at 6 mph  :).   The DMV inspector is coming out Wednesday to inspect it so I can hopefully be road worthy for the weekend!  I am hoping to get things cleaned up enough tomorrow to get some good photos too, hopefully. 🙂  Here are some pictures!

P.S.  thank you very much Paula for the generous donation!  It is going to help me get this beast licensed!

First off... my puppy is the cutest stinking puppy in all the land! He's growing so big! 8 pounds and 13 ounces, He will probably be three times that by the time he gets here

He's getting more dog looking, babies are weird 🙂

So regal looking! 3 more weeks and he's all mine!

I started the evening off racing daylight with the goal of getting the ceiling done and the barn door...

I pulled out all the boards I had previously ripped and planed to rough size. I had to trim them each to make them fit in the frame Nathan helped me make.

Stained them on each side

and started to epoxy them into place in batches

round 2

and round four, the final round! 🙂

I happened to also finish the ceiling JUST as it was getting to dark for me to see my cut marks.

here is the barn door in place.

And a closer shot, i think I like it, though I haven't had much time to reflect, I feel like it's all just going a million miles an hour at this point 🙂
