Sometimes mistakes turn out great. To save a few bucks on my build, I ordered one of those open box deals from Amazon. I thought I was buying a $50 sink. Looks like I got a $150 sink instead. Nice sink!

This won't fit my build, but for under $400 US, I am impressed.

I’m making my camper counter top from Oak flooring. Using sawdust mixed with wood glue to fill the knots.

I like the look of a butcher block counter for the camper's kitchen, but It's hard to find the right size, and getting a large piece is pretty expensive. I decided to try building the counter out of some left over oak flooring I had. I'm glueing together some pieces and will cut to size later.

I'd love it for my front lawn also. I'd like to build a cabin there someday. It's about as good of a view as you can get in Missouri.

I glued some leftover carpet to the foam rubber floor mats. This should make them last longer.

I call this camp site "Sugar Bush". Here's a video of my son and friend boiling maple syrup there, a few years back. It's on a 300ft. bluff, overlooking the Meramec River.

Beautiful weekend for the woods. It didn’t get cold enough for heat last night though.

Nice little portable AC by Emerson.

Well thought out setup! Sadly in the midwest, I can't find a mountain like you can, to cool off in the summer. With my generator, I can add a portable AC, though. Another project for next year.:)

Alright, big decisions coming up. Do I go electric, diesel or propane? The big power hog is heat, not cooking. Here's my view. Austrailians, Africans, and Southwest Americans have plenty of sun and tolerable nights. A good choice is solar and electric. The technology is now affordable, as...

Good point. That's the reason people often find mold in home exterior bathroom walls. Poor insulation, and a lot of condensation buildup.

Next conversation is insulation/padding. I figure I need two types of insulation. One for the top and one for the floor. Here's my choice for the floor. HVAV Duct Liner - It is elastomeric foam insulation used in HVAC equipment and other industries. It is designed for wet environments, is a...

I love duct tape! In a pinch it can fix just about anything. I used pine 2x6s that were laying around. They would have been much stronger if I used Oak, but I didn't have enough scrap Oak to make a set. Thanks for the advice.

Here's the camper heater test. I have a Craftsman 3000I generator and a 750/1500 watt electric heater with fan and thermostat built in. The gasoline generator has a one gallon tank that is supposed to last 4 hours under full load. It has an energy savings mode that should last all night just...

So I went camping again last night. It's funny that a site looks pretty flat, right until you get in bed and roll to the side. I think I made a fix for the next sloped camping site.

Thanks! Having 3000 watts of sustainable power opens up a lot of possibilities. Love the idea of an air fryer! Almost as good as a deep fryer for potatoes, burgers, chicken, fish, etc. I've got a Nija Air Fryer that does everything, pressure cook, slow cook, sear, steam, bake. I'll have to...

Sometimes I can be dim. I’m thinking about a $2000 Jackery, $500 Cook Partner Stove, and how to install a diesel heater. Then I have to carry a battery, Diesel, and Propane. I forgot what’s been sitting in my garage for years. Problem solved, 3000 watts of power and it will run all night on its...

I need a table.

Love my little cheap bike rack. Not as cool as others, but super heavy duty, small, and cheap ($65!).
