A picture of the free wood getting cleaned up. The delay was due to work again. I got so discouraged with progress, I went out an bought a 2x4 last week just so I could say I was doing something. I am carving time out of my schedule at this point to work on the Vardo. Plus I can only work on it early in the morning as the temperature outside by noon is a nice toasty 100 to 104 Degrees (that's 37.7 to 40 Celsius).
And just in case you thought free wood is easy...
This is a pic of one of the free pieces, while the photo does not show it well, but the whole 2x4 twists in almost a 45% angle to the left through its entire length. I'll have to find and take the best part of a straight pieces out of it or used it for fire wood. So word of advice, check your 2x4's etc. before you leave the lumberyard.
I'll be checking out another new construction site in town this week for possibly more free wood and at the the semi closest Habitat for Humanity's Re-Store for more wood 2x4's or 2x6's on Wednesday.
But this gets stalled due to the fundamental problem of welding. All the wood in the world won't get attached to the frame without the holes needed to secure the foundation to the trailer with carriage bolts. Welding at this point is still in a holding pattern.
