Today's our last day in Austin and we had a famous visitor. Marcus (utee94) stopped by with a beer, as promised. OK, more than one.

We talked for almost 3 hours and it went by very quickly. He has a serious case of aluminitis!

I hope we see each other down the road again. Good times.

Thanks John, I had a great time chatting with you and your lovely bride. The time definitely flew by too quickly. I sure hope we get another chance to catch up, down the road. Perhaps the 2011 BB at Bakers' Acres!

John's done such a great job with his trailer. For anyone who gets a chance, be sure to check it out. The pictures on this thread don't do justice to the beauty of the woodwork.

Rae-

We're home now and plan to be here until sometime in August. We've had more than one forum member over for a visit and would be glad to have you stop by.

Thanks! That was very nice.

There were many days during the renovation when we questioned whether it was worth it. It was!

After about 100 days on the road this year, we were so happy with our choice to restore Tumbleweed.

I'll try to review the good, the bad and the ugly later this fall. Right now, we have a newborn, healthy granddaughter to enjoy!

Wow, a zillion great photos of your Yellowstone/Tetons trips.

Very well taken, too. Thanks very much!

Luckily, last year had very little snow in Connecticut. We were able to finish the renovation and -- in mid-February -- take off for parts South. Our only worry was getting through the DC area.

What a difference this year. Feet of snow!

I finally found a way to dust off an old disc of visio files and convert them to pdf's.

Here are the layout drawings, electrical schematics and plumbing schematics that I used to renovate Tumbleweed. I'll add them in the 3 separate posts.

If monarch gives his permission, I'll post his excellent Gaucho diagram here.

Great day for polishing in New England. Can't believe it snowed so much last week.

After two years, the overhead cabinet in the galley is finally done. Last cabinet finished!

We did enjoy the open feel without it and decided to reduce the size a bit so that it wouldn't make the trailer feel smaller than it is. Also, it will hopefully reduce the number of bruises!
