    Hi adam88, thanks for the kudos, I really dont know what is going on at Rhinocore, I believe that they have resumed building campers for the new owners of Bigfoot and as a result have let the Rhinocore business fade away, I tried to get on thier web site too but that is gone so my guess is...

    building the Bullet XV

    Steve that looks like a good repair for the door, keeping it from swinging will help the most. I did notice a couple of things on the latest pics though, one, did you put metal security screens on all the windows? Was there a particular reason that prompted you to install them? Have you tried...

    Alexandra Bridge is the old bridge used to cross the Fraser river on the Trans Canada Highway, near where all the tunnels are on the highway, while crossing the new bridge you can see it. Some good history there too, but mostly its a fairly constricted flow area of the fraser river and when the...

    Brian, here are a few images of the locker, it started as a step to get up into the bed or settee and once it was built it was an obvious spot for shoes, it does extend under the cabinet a ways so I had made it long enough for tennis rackets too. It is handy where it is too for sitting on the...

    The shoe locker was never planned, it just evolved, but now that we have it is something that should surely be included in any build, we always have several sets of shoes and they are very awkward to store, keeping in mind that they are usually very dirty too tracking sand and dirt and never...

    Owen, Doug, thanks for the kudos but my workmanship really isnt very good, but something that I am good at is hiding mistakes! Now that I am good at! Doug, looking at those pics you posted, did the mirror brackets get shortened on your truck? they seem to not stick out as far as mine, or is...

    It was neat to see that other fuso for sure, made me wish I was going the same direction he was, the wood for the counter top was already laminated, I just cut and covered it. Barkerville is a tourist place, and is well done! If you work there being a quasi period actor you could live there but...

    Here are some pics of Barkerville, a semi deserted gold mining ghost town that is preserved well with period items in many of the houses, over a hundred houses! The town site is a bit of a climb and still had snow and was cold! Barkerville is definitely a good place to go for those on...

    The original plan was to get most of the interior installed for the May long weekend, but due to conspiring issues it didn't happen, at some point I switched over from "progress" work to "get it ready" work! I did a combination of permanent installations to using some older temporary items...
