28th month (October 2006)
We start working on the front frame (the actual front of the motorhome).
The time consuming task this month was rolling the beams. Next month we need to make another three beams.
We start rolling |
our first front beam. |
First beam
|
Weeks later the second beam
|
We added the 'A' pillars to the jigsaw puzzle
|
And the fibreglass header |
29th month (November 2006)
By the end of this month we aim to have all the required beams for the front and hopefully welded them all together as one frame.
After having rolled all of the required beams. |
We put all of the pieces together for one final test fit.
|
And so the front frame building
|
started in earnest.
|
First the side was reconstructed |
and at long last the 'A' pillars welded on! (This was the
most difficult part of the front frame)
|
Peter made gusset plates
|
and welded them on. |
The side (at the top) joined the front |
The 'B' pillar roof bow went on. |
The roof bows are joined |
Next month is a short month as Peter is on two weeks holiday. |
30th month (December 2006)
This month was only two weeks long (due to two weeks holiday)
During this month we continued on the front frame and moved into a new shed.
Building the frame |
and more |
complete |
