Very nice black and white. Need to take my trailer and head out while the weather is still nice.

This weekend could not have been any better. The temps on the mountain were awesome! It's that time of the year though where you'll burn quick if not covered. Just jumping in and out all day on the way down the mountain to take flower photos for the wife I got a decent farmers tan. :)

Just got home from 1,000 miles of ghost towns and trails around NV and Cali. It sure is nice to curl up on a soft bed at the end of the day.

Great Build

I was justcurious as to what you used for supports? Where they 2x2? Also did you brace the walls entirely and then use luan over them?

The exterior walls are marine grade 3/4 plywood. I used 2x4 cross members along the top. I used 2x2 on the wall sides to attach the interior paneling. On the interior walls I used 1/8" maple. I used marine epoxy paint on the exterior after filling all the holes and using wood sealer then the epoxy primer.

A lot more build pics are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fjghosttowner/albums/72157650354685042
