and i didnt get out and look.







i scraped the corner across the top rail of the chain link fence... and it opened up like a sardine can. if i had not made this miscalculation...
i would not have known about the horrific water damage hiding under the aluma panel siding stuff.

the corner piece of wood was completely rotted away. there was a 2"x2" void in there. 1 8ft stick of treated 2x2 and 2 slightly angled cuts fixed that problem... a tube of white silly cone took care of the cause.

it aint pretty... but it will work till i can get replacement panel parts... (or just renovate and rebuild the back end all together)



hell of it is...
it seemed like i was following the same path i always do when backing it in...

lesson learned...

goals arent just for soccer and hockey...

 

I remember reading an article on vehicle related accidents, article stating that most fender bender type wrecks happen within 3 miles of a person's residence as that's where they feel most comfortable and thus stop really paying attention. I guess this could add to that evidence?

Sucks that happened but apparently it happened for a reason.

 

Yuppers...
Got into a comfort zone..

Guess that will learn me to get in a hurry.

 

Stephan Wright said once he heard most accidents occur within three miles of home, so he moved....

 

is it still good for use or will I now be sleeping on the grass? (at least I'll have that bottle of whiskey for company if so....)

 

 

I'd say that was a blessing in disguise. Time for some renovation work and some "Eterna bond tape & Eterna caulk"

 

Heck, I have an old cabin tent we can see if it isn't dry rotted and try it out as well, if it isn't raining.

 

Its good to go... just cosmetic more than anything...

Pretty much everything inside works like its supposed to...
Even fired up the hot water heater and the shower worked... kinda low pressure out of the nozzle but it gets the job done... i need to find a new nozzle for it...

 

Backup cam on the back of the boat trailer is on of my current projects. (Current... get it?)

Sorry about your grief Chris... I know how much it sucks to have recreation curtailed.

 

We are full timing so I back up the camper often. When I can see the back of the camper from the driver side window, no problem. But when I have to look out the passenger side mirrow I get my wife to spot me. I never understand her motins and gestures, so we have reduced them to: Scream if i'm about to hit something! Works so far.

 

Seriously, if you crack the code on female hand signals (one in particular I think I've got down) please enlighten us. Seems like I can't back that thing up ever without getting out at least once for a con-fab...

 

Glad I'm not the only one....One of these times it will end in divorce. It's got to the point where I send my 9 yo out. She does it way better than my wife, with hand signals I can understand.

 

cool. it wouldn't really be a problem anyway, just glad the damage wasn't too severe for you. what kind of nozzle?

 

if you a mean shower head as a nozzle I think I have a few extras, just let me know.
