Camper painted
The carving was long and hard and exhausting. It didn't look very good, and it was tough sawing away, really tough to work with arms overhead for so long. On the bright side, it improved greatly when it was painted.
Camper comes together- windows and welds
The foam is very dense and stiff. It resists being cut or chipped out, and it won’t tear at all. It has a great deal of shear strength. It will break the blade of a boxcutter. The real tool we found for it was a stiff putty knife. Then I can cut and chip out chunks.
Voila- the Little Green Bug, the Aphid, the Ameracauna Egg...
We spent the drive home thinking up names for it and also catching glimpses of it in the mirror and having a jolting moment of "What's behind us?!"
Up and off: chassis welding and powdercoating
The chassis looked awfully flimsy without the egg, and it sure bounced around on the highway, squeaking and crashing around behind us. It didn't help that we were presenting a rusty, flimsy little grey trailer that looked like a boat trailer past its usable life.
Camper gets cozy: spray foam insulation
I liked the colour a lot. Light peach, and the texture was nubbly in places and more rounded in others. Very much like a cave. I planned to leave the surface as is, cavelike and peaceful peach
Nostalgia proof
I moved out of a four-bedroom house, into a 14 foot travel trailer. Don't miss the house.

I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
