Cooking will be Coleman dual fuel one burner stove or charcoal grill and dutch oven. If I do add power it will be a later thing.

Still got the lights and light wiring to put in. Have made no provisions for power. Figure we’ll use battery operated or kerosene lights.

Then I may use it for now and go with painted or stained wood later. Gonna be a lot of “will add or change it later” type stuff on this one.

Haven’t been able to decide on front inside wall covering. Have a roll of burlap that I plan to use on the ceiling and may use it there too.

Back wall is partially framed and have started putting on siding. Quit due to inability to safely see and cut the pencil lines with the saw.

Front wall needs 4 more siding boards to be at the top. Then comes marking the arc and cutting it.

Somewhere around exhausted. Both side walls done inside. Still got outside insulation, canvas and trim to go on them.

More coffee and then back at it…

Stuff like that seems to happen quite often when I build out of what’s in my head rather than following a set plan. 😉

Starting to look like a Vardo/Reading wagon. http://t.co/VjiRBAf5 rather than the Conestoga wagon http://t.co/NBoaUNtE I started building.

Takes a bit longer but much harder to screw it up that way. 🙂 Changed the plans a bit to add a overhand in the front too. Getting closer.

Even though the first board I cut was 1″ too short. 🙁 Cut it off to the support and added a piece. Putting them in place and marking now.

Numbers are close enough. Laid out an arc on scrap and it measures right at the crossover points. Am now half way done with the side.

Well, in the light of morning, the numbers I crunched last night still seem to make sense. So gonna go out and see if they work.

But I’m still gonna mock it up and cut some scrap to test the numbers with prior to cutting the camper. And rebending the EMT arcs.
