It's the Little Things in Life

Hi everyone! Today I have a bunch of little (but very cool) things to mention.

One of my recent purchases must be the best investment under $100 so far- Stabilizing jacks! We installed two in the front and two in the back. The "stabilizers" I previously had were just that- to stabilize and not to lift. With my fancy new jacks I can level the trailer on uneven ground and I could potentially change a tire if need be. This means I can have a dance party in the trailer without wrecking all the fine china! If i had fine china in there... or dance parties...

20" lift & 6,500 lbs. capacity!

Another fun detail for the trailer is of less weighty concern (buh dum shhh) but will look great. The boss taught me how to use a lathe to machine fancy handles for the lever to open the windows. The originals were plastic and we used aluminum.

Getting set up.

Original plastic, finished aluminum, and blank.

I also had a small visitor the other day. This poor guy flew in, and in a panic to find a way out in a world full of windows and reflective surfaces, he flew right into a wall and got a bit of a headache. He took about a ten minute breather and then flew back to his family in the trees.

Chillin in my hand.

Isn't he cute!

And last but not least a sneak peak of a future post... three brand new Fantastic Fans just arrived! While I'm a bit nervous about climbing up on the roof and trying to get all three of them in and watertight, I'm sure they'll live up to their name (once I build up my courage to install them).

Special delivery for Trouble!

Sometimes the humble and small projects make the end product really special. Until next time guys!
