Thanks. The hanger is on my Amazon list now. We already have chairs that we use on our patio. They’d be great for camping.

How much of a pain is it to transport the mount?

 

[Rusty PW]

sorry Rusty... although, my opinion it should count for what is coming in the mail if you order it...

I put them on my amazon wish list for now.

Well over last week or so I've hauled 3/4 ton concrete, 7 14ft 4x4 post, 6 16ft 2x8s, 50 or so 8, 12, 16 2x4s, 6 sheets OSB, 20 12ft 2X8s I started building a small cabin.

Very cool! What size cabin? I need to build one on our property in E. Texas. I’m thinking 16x24

It's starting as 12x16 and planned 8ft deck facing forward. Phase 2 is carport off of back side, Phase 3 is maybe 16 or 24ft off back side longer. That's dependent on what happens.
I tried to stay on standard sheet sizing to cut down on complexity. Reason for being only 12ftx16ft

Good planning. My original plans was 25-26’ length but thought about staying panel length as well. I’ll put a 6-8’ porch on the long side as it will be the “front”

Good thoughts on building sizes being in sheet lengths. A good rule of thumb is to always build in 4 foot increments. Then full or half sheets is all you use, the other half sheet will be used on the other side.

@Chuck Nice looking start by the way.

Not bad.. They break down to 3 pieces.. I carried them in the bed of the truck with my 75 quart Dometic on a 3000 mile trip through Utah, colorado and back to Texas..

Dropped-off one of my kids at the public library. It was a spirited drive.

Can't pass up on free fire wood! The extra weight smoothed out the bouncy rear end that comes with the tow package

 

[Blade1668]

Well 2 days ago I moved both my XJ's around so I can get a load(s) of gravel dropped off. Then yesterday had to do side pull to drag trailer away from side of MJ and cabin I'm building. Due to slope, mud my (loaded) trailer sliding downhill into them when backing in. I think around here we have got at least 3 or more inches of rain in last few days. Now if the company decides to deliver the rock??? I was told next week over a week ago.

Temps finally got above freezing yesterday so the road down the mountain where I live thawed enough that I could go check the mail. Spent a couple hours w/ the chainsaw clearing trees & branches, including a 30” dia red oak. Fun times.

Here are the 'small' pieces (from about 12 ft up the trunk, will have to wait until it's dry to get to the meaty parts) ?

Just a bit of glamping in the frigid Central Florida weather (Ft. Desoto)

Did some camping and exploring. Happy with the new ARB Esperance RTT that replaced the unbranded Chinese junk.
