New Trailer

It was a beautiful sunny morning and the guys showed up at 7:15am to work on the addition. They had hopes of getting a lot done today but were slowed down when Leo (ex owner and father of current owners) stopped by and noticed that the shingles had faded more than expected on the west side of the roof. After a conference with Ed on the roof they decided to replace the shingles on the existing portion of the workshop. By quiting time most of the roof had been shingled.

Around 9:30 Ed and I headed over to the local RV dealer to pick up our new trailer --- a used 2008 Titanium. We think the trailer was one of the first of a new design and regular plywood, not bendable plywood, was used to create a curved wall. As to be expected the wall cracked. After a month away the owners returned home with the "damaged goods". The factory offered them some compensation so they decided to upgrade to another trailer. The wall was fixed and trailer put up for sale at what we thought was a good price so we bought it. We even get the full year factory warranty. Doghouse II is a foot longer than Doghouse but it was three slides so it should give us more living space. I wonder how long it will take me to get use to the new layout.


Interesting place for a conference.


They almost finished the shingling --- took longer than they planned as they replaced the shingles on the existing workshop.


Our new trailer Doghouse II.


For some reason Zaph doesn't like going into Ed's office. Here he is lying in the doorway.
