Leftover pvc walkable membrane from a work project. Plywood floor finally will be kinda water resistant. Did not bring enough glue....

I need to finish my trailer so I can go pick a big old crate up. Been wanting to do this for a long time (was going to build my own) but found this unit used on marketplace for a good price.

Woodstove for a sauna showed up. Not a bad little unit. Especially for the price. Gonna have to feed it tiny logs often though.

Lit it at the shop to burn the paint off

Finally finished off my new trailer (it's been in my shop for months) came out well, but heavy. 6x10 heavy C frame, 6k axle, 2x decking. 

I would guess ~1k for the trailer. I was told 1100 for the crate, but after opening I'm betting it's more. Bottom half is solid wood. And there is a bunch of asphalt shingles too....

I have built a few like this. 2" square tube with a coupler on it, slides into receiver. Easy to make theft resistant if you remove the coupler.

Flattened a spot out, threw down 2 RR ties and started building. It's level ish (about 1/4"). I figure things are going to move a bit anyway. 

Add front and rear walls and continue around. Nailing every other one. 

Exterior done! Glacier approved. 

 

Interior was pretty easy as well. The whole kit went together way faster than I expected. About 6 hours. 

 

Scrap of a counter top, and a piece of stainless plate I had kicking around d makes a spot for the stove.

I have too. Found this as a return on marketplace. It assembled way better than I ever expected. 6 hours Incl the borrowing of a tractor from the neighbor the level out the area. I could have fired it Friday, but it was getting late. 

Using a capybara stove.

 

I didn't realize my wifi temp sensor topped out at 140. I just kept adding wood and wood and wood. 

Works good IMO! Did a cooler session yeatersay. 130ish.
