HEY JOHNNY,
Hows that heater working?How about some pics of that in our trailer section?
The windows are lexan,all but the front,which is acrylic.Icut them out myself,and picked up a box of self locking gasket at a glass shop Ido have most of my slips,i have other project items on them so im estimating
Ibought my steel last year ,before it went uporiginal invoice says
150ft -1by11/8 th walltube[ frame.mabey 20 ft left over]
60ft 3/4 by 3/4 by 1/8 angle[to mount window gaskets to.]
2 sheets .o65 sheet [4by8]
Ihad a few odds and ends i used also,but not much
346 total but id not use it all lots of shorts left over plus 20 ft
lexan121.25 and acrylic 25
wiring ,toggles,mirrors ,lights were around 100
probably under 100 .035 solid wire and gas/a few 7018 sticks
paint and primer supplys 50 or so took about 2 quarts paint/1quart primer
golf cart roof 10
dollars
gaskets 100 or so
so it was around 800 plus for the cab
if you add the heater and fan it did top 1000
Now ask my wife what it cost


1000 for all the gismos ,gagdets
1000 for a new mig welder with two tanks of his own
CLARKE metal cutting bandsaw 200
electric bill heating oil for the garageetc 500
loss of husband evenings for almost a year......was worth every penny she will tell ya
