Today was our first trip to Home Depot to get materials to begin work on the container home we are building out of a shipping container on our friends Skeeter and Debbie Griffin's ranch in Matheson, Colorado. I have a feeling we will be making numerous trips to Home Depot in the next few weeks.
Shown above and below, Mel picks out the lumber to build the deck in front of the container home.
We also picked up concrete deck blocks, some 2x4's to build the frame of the deck and other miscellaneous materials.
Our cart was full and after paying, Mel pulled the truck up and loaded the materials we had bought (see below).
Shown below, Mel moves the materials around inside the truck making sure everything is just so, and then we are on our way back to the ranch.
Before heading back, we stopped to eat at Taco Bell. We then headeded home.
Eager to get started, Mel recruited the help of Skeeter in getting the deck laid out and built.
Shown above, the deck frame is almost finished.
Shown above and below is Mel's next step -- getting the deck boards ready to screw to the deck frame.
And now Mel begins to screw down the deck boards (see below).
It is now almost 6 p.m., and Mel has decided to stop on the deck for the night.
Saturday, April 13, 2024
Mel was up this morning as soon as it was daylight to continue building the deck.
By the time I got up and ate my breakfast and went outside at 8:30 a.m. to see his progress, Mel had the deck almost finished (see above). How awesome!
Tonight after dinner at around 6:30 p.m. we decided to celebrate the progress Mel had made on the deck. We set our chairs and the propane fire pit on the finished deck and had our first evening outside enjoying nature and the peace and quiet of our surroundings (see above and below).
Monday, April 15, 2024
This morning we got up early and headed to Home Depot for our second load of construction materials.
By 10:30 a.m., Mel and one of the Home Depot associates were loading the back of the truck with some Dynaflex Sealant; a pair of Lincoln Brazing Glasses that Mel will wear when he uses the plasma arc cutter; 25 lbs. of 3" construction screws; sixty-five 2x4 - 96" whitewood stud boards; eight 2x4 - 12 ft. premium fir boards; one hundred 2x3 -8 ft. select boards; and miscellaneous other materials.
With the truck all loaded, Mel gets the tie downs in place (see below).
As we left Home Depot, I couldn't resist taking a picture of the snow covered Colorado Rockies/Pike's Peak. Before going home we stopped to get a bite to eat at Whataburger. We got back home around 3:30 p.m.
Mel began framing the walls for the inside of the container.
Shown above and below, Mel now has the first wall set up in place.
Tuesday, April 16, 2024
This afternoon, Mel spent some time getting the window holes marked on the inside of the container (see below).
He then continued framing the walls (see above and below).
Next, Mel carried the wall inside to put it in place (see above and below). Because Mel still had to cut out the windows and door entrance with the plasma arc cutter, the framed walls were only placed in position, but will be moved when he cuts the window and door openings.
Above Mel adjusts the framed wall into place, and then at 6:40 p.m. Mel was done for the night. Tomorrow if the weather and wind cooperates, Mel plans to start cutting the window holes.
Wednesday, April 17, 2024
Today was a perfect day (not too windy) for Mel to begin cutting out the windows using the plasma arc cutter.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE PLASMA ARC CUTTER DOES
Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper. The basic plasma cutting process involves creating an electrical channel of superheated, electrically ionized gas (plasma) from the plasma cutter itself, through the workpiece to be cut, thus forming a completed electric circuit back to the plasma cutter through a grounding clamp.
This is accomplished by a compressed gas (oxygen, air, and others depending on material being cut) which is blown through a focused nozzle at high speed toward the workpiece. An electrical arc is then formed within the gas, between an electrode near or integrated into the gas nozzle and the workpiece itself. The electrical arc ionizes some of the gas, thereby creating an electrically conductive channel of plasma. As electricity from the cutter torch travels down this plasma it delivers sufficient heat to melt through the workpiece. At the same time, much of the high-velocity plasma and compressed gas blow the hot molten metal away, thereby separating (cutting through) the workpiece.
Above at 8:40 a.m. Mel has moved the framed wall, and has anchored the grounding clamps for the plasma arc cutter -- and begun cutting the southside bedroom window hole in the container.
Skeeter and I were on fire watch as Mel used the plasma arc cutter on the inside. As you can see above and below that the arc cutter has cut the metal of the container.
Mel drew a smaller window hole to try out the plasma arc cutter with as he had never used one before. Shown below was that small window hole falling out as he finished that cut.
Shown above and below, Mel began cutting the southside bedroom window hole.
Mel stopped briefly to take a break and waved at us with his gloved hands and arc cutter.
Shown below, Mel was very close to finishing up the cutting of the south bedroom window opening (as it merely appears to hang on by a thread).
Mel reached out after the window hole was finished and tossed the cut metal to the ground.
One hole cut and done, with now only five holes left to go! Shown below, Mel grinds around the window hole to smooth it out.
Shown above, the southside bedroom window was now in place, while below Mel had put the wall back in place.
Shown above, Mel draws the hole for the door opening on the south side of the container.
From the outside of the container, the cutting lines were beginning to show for the door opening (see above).
Shown above, Mel's cutting the door opening using the plasma arc cutter and sparks continue to fly inside of the container.
Shown above the cutting of the door opening showed from the outside of the container.
As you can see in the above picture, Mel had soaked a blanket and laid it on the floor to keep the sparks down.
Mel has now almost finished the cutting of the door opening and as you can see below the metal was starting to lean outward.
And then, voilà -- the metal door opening fell out of the container.
Mel signaled with a thumbs up -- indicating that this cut was now successfully finished.
After Mel dragged what remained of the metal that was cut out for the door opening, he gave a "two thumbs up" signal (see above).
Next, Mel placed the door frame in place (see above and below).
Skeeter stepped up to help Mel get the door frame screwed in.
And then around 5:30 p.m. in the afternoon, Mel got another wall built and called it quits for the day.
Thursday, April 18, 2024
With no wind in sight, today was another great day to cut window holes in the container. As you can see below, Mel has cut a starting point for both of the windows that will be in the living area of the container.
Shown above, Skeeter sits and watches for sparks of fire with a water hose in his hand.
The cutting continued and the sparks flew.
The first window hole in the living room on the south side of the container was almost finished.
Shown above and below, you can see that the cut metal from the window hole was just hanging on.
And then ta-da, Mel pushed out the cut metal.
Shown below, cutting was well under way on the second living room window hole on the south side of the container.
And once again the cut window hole was just hanging on by a thread (see above) and then Mel pushed it out (see below).
The cut metal appeared to be hanging on by a thread, so Skeeter came to help Mel get the final cut made and loosen the metal (see above and below).
Then Skeeter dragged the cut out metal over to the scrap pile.
Now as you can see above, all three window and the door holes have been cut out of the container on the south side.
Shown above Mel uses the grinder to smooth all the holes after the cutting was finished at around 3:20 p.m.
Now at 6:00 p.m. the second and third windows have been completely installed.
Tonight, we celebrated our progress on our container home with delicious breaded air-fryed pork chops and broccoli, cheese and rice casserole (see above).
Friday, April 19, 2024
And as luck would have it, the wind was still pretty calm again today. Mel set his sight on getting some more of the window holes cut -- this time on the north side of the container.
Skeeter once again was on fire watch (see above).
Since the container was fairly close to the trees on the north side, the window holes had to be cut from the outside in. Mel soaked blankets and placed them on the floor of the container and over the window on the south side of the container to help cut down the sparks and prevent a fire inside.
I was on fire watch on the inside of the container and therefore was able to get a lot of great pictures of the sparks flying as Mel cut from the outside in.
As you can see from the picture above, the north side bedroom window hole was almost cut, while the sparks continued to fly.
Skeeter traded positions with me since the window hole was about ready to fall into the container. Shown above and below, Mel was making the final cuts on the northside bedroom window hole.
The window hole was once again just hanging on by a thread.
Mel finished the cut (see above) and the cut metal from the window hole fell inside the container to the waiting arms of Skeeter.
Mel hollared in to Skeeter to make sure he had gotten the cut metal ok.
At 12:40 p.m., Mel was back to framing another wall and then getting it set in the container.
And by 2:45 p.m., the northside bedroom windown had been installed.
The pictures above and below showed the beautiful view we have from the northside of the container.
Mel was working on the wall around the door opening in the container and at 6:00 p.m. he quit working for the evening.
Saturday, April 20, 2024
Early this afternoon, I went to play "Bunco" with Debbie Griffin. I had never played bunco before -- which was a popular game played with three dice and a whole lot of luck.
OBJECT OF BUNCO
The object of bunco was to win more rounds than all the other players. Players win rounds when their team scores more points in a round than the opposing team at their table. The individual who wins the most rounds out of all the players is then declared the winner.
WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY BUNCO
You need the following materials tp play bunco: 3 dice per table; a score card for each player; a pen or pencil for each player; a bell for the head table; and some scratch paper at each table (see below).
RULES OF THE GAME
The rules for the game of bunco are fairly simple.
1) It is important to have the number of players be divisible by 4 -- therefore you will need to have four players at each table. If you are playing with an odd amount of people, assign a “ghost” to someone. The partner of the “ghost” rolls and keeps score for the “ghost”. Essentially one person on the team with an uneven number gets to roll and keep score twice.
2) The head table is usually decided by the hostess. The head table also controls the pace of the game. The game begins when the head table rings the bell.
3) At each table, the player sitting opposite you is your teammate. The two players on either side of you are your opponents. However, keep in mind that this will change every round depending on who loses and who wins.
4) A scorekeeper is assigned for each round of play at each table. This person will also play the game, but will be in charge of keeping track of points for both teams at the table.
5) Each table should have scratch paper for the scorekeeper to us, 3 dice, a score sheet for each player, and a pen or pencil for each of the four people at the table.
6) The object of bunco is for players to throw the three dice trying to make a bunco. During the play of each round, each player rolls the three dice and tries to accumulate ‘wins’ or buncos -- with the person with the most wins or buncos at the end of the game becoming the winner.
Within this particular group of bunco-playing ladies, they each bring $6 to play (see above). $1 is put in the pot for when a bunco is called (so every time a bunco is called within each round that pot of money can float around from bunco caller to the next to call bunco). And the other $5 is put in the other pot that is divided when all rounds are over ($5 goes to the player with the most losses, then half of the pot goes to the person who wins the most rounds, while the remainder of the pot goes to the person who rolls the most buncos.) So, in other words, if this pot contained $40 -- $5 goes to the person with the most losses, $20 goes to person who wins the most rounds, and $15 would g oto the person who rolls the most buncos.
HOW TO PLAY BUNCO
Each round correlates to a number on the die; the first round correlates with the one on the die, round two correlates with the two, etc. If a player rolls the dice and gets three of the number that the round correlates to, the person gets a bunco. So for example: If it is round four and the player rolls the dice and three of them land on four, that player gets a bunco.
PLAY THE FIRST ROUND WHERE PLAYERs TAKES TURNS ROLLING 3 DICE TO EARN POINTS
The game begins when the first person rolls the dice with the object to score points. Points are only scored in 2 ways:
- The player has one or more dice that match the round number (e.g. rolling 1 in round 1, 2 in round 2, etc). A single match of the round is worth 1 point, a matching pair of the round is worth 2 points, and a triple match of the round is called a “bunco” and has a special bonus value of 21 points.
- The player rolls a matching set of 3 dice of any number other than the round number and earns 5 points. This is also called a “mini bunco.” Example: player rolls three 4s in round 2.
If the roller scores points, their turn continues and they roll again. If they score no points on any roll, their turn is over and it’s the next person’s turn. At the end of each turn, the scorekeeper will add the player’s points to their team’s score.
The round ends for all tables when a team at the head table scores 21 points. The team at the head table will signal the end of the round by ringing a bell.
At the end of each round, the scorekeeper totals the points for each team. The team with the highest points gets the win and each player will mark a “W” on their scoresheet for that round. Each member of the losing team will mark an “L” on their scoresheet.
Also, any individual who rolls a “bunco” during the round will mark that on their individual scoresheet.
Example in round 1:
A single die rolled is a 1 = 1 point
A pair of dice rolled is a 1 = 2 points
All three dice rolled are 1s = 21 and are called a “bunco”
All three dice are any other same number (e.g 2, 2, 2) = 5 points
ROTATE TABLES AND TEAMMATES AT THE END OF EACH ROUND
At the end of each round, teams switch tables as follows:
Head table: Winners stay; losers go to the end table, and if using a middle table: winners move up a table, while losers stay. And at the end table: winners move up a table; while losers stay.
Additionally players switch teams every round -- therefore any team that stays at their table moves to sit next to each other to be opponents in the next round. Then the two new people to the table just fill the empty seats.
MOVE TO THE NEXT ROUND AND REPEAT FOR ROUNDS 2-6 TO COMPLETE A SET
Rounds 2-6 are just like round 1, except that the scoring number changes. For example, players must roll 2s in round 2, 3s in round 3, etc. Like in round 1, 1 round-matching die earns 1 point, 2 round-matching dice earn 2 points, 3 round-matching dice earn 21 points, and 3 matching dice of any other number earn 5 points. When round 6 ends, you have completed a “set.”
PLAY THE NEXT SET -- IT'S USUALLY 4 SETS TOTAL
Each round of 6 is considered a “set.” This group of bunco ladies always plays 4 sets.
DETERMINE THE WINNERS OF THE BUNCO GAME
The primary winner of a bunco game is the individual player who wins the most rounds, followed by the individual player who scores the most buncos and then the booby prize goes to the individual player with the fewest wins.
Bunco was a lot of fun! I ended up being the individual with the most losses -- so therefore I got my $5 back (see below).
The lady who hosted the bunco game had some pretty wall hangings (see above and below) that I really liked, so I took pictures.
When I got home from bunco around 4 p.m., I went out to check on Mel's progress on the container home.
Mel had all of the sidewalls up, and was putting up some of the ceiling rafters (see above and below).

Today the wind was blowing in the morning but by the afternoon the weather was great for getting the last window hole cut out of the container.
So a little after 1 p.m., Mel got the blankets soaked with water and placed one over the window on the other side of the container and one below where he would be cutting (see above).
I once again was on fire watch inside the container as the sparks began to fly, while Skeeter was watching for fire outside.
As this was the last window hole Mel had to cut in the container, he had become pretty good at using the plasma arc cutter. As you can see above and below, he almost has this hole completely cut.
As the metal cut began to fall into the container, Skeeter and I switched positions in the fire watch -- so Skeeter would be available to catch the metal piece when it fell inside.
So Mel had cut the last window hole in less than 30 minutes!
Mel was making great progress on the walls inside the container (see above).
And finally, the last window was installed.
And Mel continued building walls for the inside of the container. He quit working tonight at around 7 p.m.
We had an awesome sunset tonight at the ranch at around 7:50 p.m.
Monday, April 22, 2024
We left the ranch about 8:30 a.m. this mornine and made our third trip to Home Depot. We picked up a box of 1/2 inch x 100 feet of blue pex pipe and a box of 1/2 inch x 100 feet of red pex pipe; miscellaneous pex clamps, pex elbows, pex ball valves, pex female elbow, and pex male adapters; several 4 inch and 6 inch Halo LED lights; a breaker box and some breakers; some caulking; 250 feet of Romex wire; as well as other miscellaneous things.
Shown above and below was our shopping cart at Home Depot that we had filled with all the items we needed today.
At 11:40 a.m. we were all ready to check out at Home Depot. Afterwards, we stopped at Taco Bell for lunch before heading home.
When we got back to the ranch, Mel unloaded all the materials we had picked up and went back to work on the container. Around 5 p.m., I went out and took the picture below of his progress today (as you can see the walls around the bathroom and shower were now in place).
Tuesday, April 23, 2024
After breakfast this morning, I took a few more pictures of Mel's progress from yesterday (see below).
Wednesday, April 24, 2024
Today, Mel spent most of the day working on electrical wiring and running the red (hot) and blue (cold) pex pipe inside the container.
Shown above and below were some of the electrical outlet boxes Mel had put in the container.
Friday, April 26, 2024
Today, once again we left around 8:30 a.m. and headed to Home Depot for our fourth trip. We bought another roll of 250 feet of Romex wire; plumbing pipes and flanges; a 2-1/2" and a 4-1/4" bi-metal hole saw; pvc cement; abs cement; clamps and connectors; 2" conduit pipes; miscellaneous pex materials; 20 amp and 30 amp breakers; and other miscellaneous things.
Around 11:40 a.m., we had the shopping cart filled with the items we were getting from Home Depot today (see above and below).
At 11:50 a.m., we had checked out at Home Depot. Aferwards, we stopped at Whataburger for lunch and then headed home.
This afternoon, Mel had installed the door in the container (see above) and worked more on the plumbing for the washer and dryer (see below).
Between 5:40 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. the dark clouds began to roll in as they sometimes do out here on the Colorado plains. We got a few sprinkles, but not much.
Saturday, April 27, 2024
A cold front had moved in overnight, and the temperatures were near freeezing when we woke up.
And then around 10:45 a.m. we started receiving a few snow flurries. The ground began to turn a dusty white as the pictures above and below show.
Not wanting to go outside in the cold and snow, I took a couple pictures of the snow gathering on Rubi, our jeep from inside our RV (see above and below).
But as quickly as the snow flurries came, they just as fast melted away.
Mel went out to the container and worked on more electrical wiring and plumbing.
Look at all the wiring and plumbing pipes going through the ceiling rafters in the container (see above and below).
Shown below, Mel continues to work away.
Sunday, April 28, 2024
Today, Mel worked in the container for most of the day. Then around 6:00 p.m. it started to rain really hard and continued for awhile. The sky became really grey.
And then about 6:40 p.m., as the grey skies still remained, I thought of the song "Tomorrow" made famous in the musical, "Annie" and I began to sing . . .
The sun'll come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinking about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck in a day
That's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say
The sun'll come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away!
What a beautiful double rainbow it was!
Many cultures believe that a double rainbow signals a spiritual awakening. The two rainbows may signify the interaction between the physical and spiritual realms, opening the door for awakening and symbolizing growth and trust within yourself. Spiritually, double rainbows are symbols of hope, faith, and prosperity.
Show above, Mel took in all the splendor of the double rainbow that spanned from one end to the other.
Surprisingly, the phenomenon of a double rainbow is actually relatively common, especially at times when the sun is low in the sky such as in the early morning or late afternoon. The second rainbow is fainter and more 'pastel' in tone than the primary rainbow because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one.
From old folktales we learned that there was a pot of gold hidden where the end of any rainbow touched the earth. So whether or not a leprechaun can be found with a pot of gold at the end of this particular rainbow, one thing I know for sure -- the sun'll come out, tomorrow!
Monday, April 29, 2024
Today Mel worked on getting the electrical breaker box securing it to the outside of the container (see below).
And then Mel pulled wires and connections toward the box outside.
Tuesday, April 30, 2024
This morning we took off toward Home Depot for our fifth trip. There we bought our 72" x 80" classic patio door; two 2x4 - 96" whitewood studs; four 8" x 12' smartside lap siding; and some miscellaneous pex materials.
Shown above was our flatbed cart loaded with the patio door and other materials.
Shown above and below, Mel got the patio doors secured on the back of the big truck.
Because the 8" x 12' smartside lap siding was 12 feet long, Mel ended up cutting each of the lap siding boards down to an 8 foot section and a 4 foot section for hauling ease (see below in the next few pictures).
We left Home Depot at around 11:30 a.m. and then went to Taco Bell before heading back to the ranch.
When we got back to the ranch, Skeeter helped Mel get the patio door off the big truck. And by 3:40 p.m., the patio door was installed along with all the framework around the sliding patio door.
And then Mel went to work putting up the lap siding starting at the bottom and working his way up both sides around the patio door.
By 6:20 p.m. Mel had almost finished that. He ended up being one piece short of the lap siding, which we would pick up on our next trip into Home Depot.
Our container home was really beginning to take shape!
Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Happy May Day! May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer -- usually celebrated on May 1st, around halfway between the Northern Hemisphere's Spring equinox and June solstice.
Traditions often included gathering wildflowers and green branches (or "bringing in the May" as they called it), weaving floral garlands, crowning a May Queen (sometimes with a male companion), and setting up a Maypole, May Tree or May Bush, around which people would dance and sing.
The best known modern May Day traditions, observed both in Europe and North America, included dancing around the maypole and crowning the Queen of May. Fading in popularity since the late 20th century was the tradition of giving of "May baskets" -- small baskets of sweets or flowers that were usually left anonymously on a neighbor's doorstep.
Have you ever heard of the May baskets? This tradition was popular through the 19th and 20th centuries, especially with children or sweethearts. The custom was to knock on the door and yell “May basket!” and then run as fast as you can. If the recipient caught the giver, he or she was entitled to a kiss. When I was a kid, we made May baskets every year and took them to our friend's house -- and then we would take off running very fast!!!
Today, Mel started his day out with doing some water line tests by filling up the water heater.
Above and below, Mel released some of the air buildup in the water heater.
Thursday, May 2, 2024
Today, Mel worked on getting the windows ready to caulk around.
In the picture below, you can see where Mel has caulked around one of the windows.
At around 3 p.m. in the afternoon, the shipment Mel had ordered of the Mr. Cool DIY Multi-zone E-Star Series 18K Heat Pump Air Conditioner (outside unit) and (inside unit) arrived.
Friday, May 3, 2024
Today at around 8 a.m., we took off toward Home Depot for our sixth trip. We bought Behr deckplanks waterproof sealant; a 50 amp breaker; one board of 8" x 12' smartside lap siding; pex miscellaneous materials; and other miscellaneous materials.
Shown above was our loaded shopping cart as we made our way to the checkout counter. Today before heading home, we stopped at the Ultimate Buffet on Bloomington Street in Colorado Springs (see below). We had been looking forward to going to the Ultimate Buffet for awhile.
This remarkable establishment offers a multitude of culinary delights from across the globe -- boasting an extensive array of international dishes and a delightful dessert station. Guests can sample everything from Chinese and American classics to sushi, succulent steaks, Cajun seafood, shrimp, salads and desserts.
The next seven pictures below show several of the delicious offerings at the Ultimate Buffet.
Shown above was the plate of food I selected to eat at Ultimate Buffet as well as a cup of the egg drop soup, while below was Mel with the two plates of food he selected to enjoy as well as a cup of clam chowder!
It was really delicious at Ultimate Buffet -- and we both went home stuffed! When we got back home, Mel went out to work in the container.
Later, in the afternoon when I went out to check on Mel's progress I saw that he had now attached the bracket for the heater/air conditioner outside unit on the back of the container (see above).
Sunday, May 5, 2024
Today was Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. Cinco de Mayo was a yearly celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness, and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and occupied Mexico City.
More popular in the United States than in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. Celebrations first began in Columbia, California, where they have been observed annually since 1862. The day gained nationwide popularity beyond those of Mexican-American heritage in the 1980s due to advertising campaigns by beer, wine, and tequila companies; today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on par with the Super Bowl.
For the last few weeks, we have been going to the same church that Skeeter and Debbie Griffin go to -- the Matheson Community Bible Church (see below). After church today, since it was Cinco de Mayo, we had a Mexican potluck following the church service. It was fun to taste the different Mexican dishes that everyone brought to share.
Shown below is Pastor Chad Thieman, who has been the pastor since 1998. Chad and his wife Tracy, raised their three sons in this community; Aaron (wife Jaymi, granddaughter Harlow), Matthew and Nathan. Chad and Tracy are an integral part of the community.
After a great Mexican Fiesta, we may all want to take a little seista -- a short nap or rest period usually taken in the afternoon, often after lunch. The siesta custom originated in Mexico's warm climate, allowing people to rest during the hottest hours of the day. Siestas typically lasted 20 to 30 minutes.
Hey . . . is there anyone besides me that is ready for a little seista right now?
Shirley & Mel
How neat. Wow...I'm so excited for you. I googled container homes and wow there were many and so many ideas. Some for sale completed already where people haul them. I can't wait to see finished product. Some people have put 2 of them together and attached them. Anyway so excited for you. Enjoy bunco and pokeno!! I've been playing that for years. So much fun. Ok send me more...
ReplyDeleteHere I am going back and reading everything again. Love it. I love all the work. Send more photos . I think this is perfect. Just big enough too. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI returned to blog to see the photos. Mel is so cute looking out the windows and doors etc. Wow the buffet looking fa ukous. I love the trailer. It's just my cup of tea. I'd love it. How big is the container. If you ever had to move it, can you since you don't own the Land? I forgot if it's your daughter's land or something? Anyway I love it. Keep posting...just love it!
