Our new camera arrived on Saturday. It's an Olympus Tough 610. Waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof. That should cover our bases for potential damage from clumsiness. It's nice and easy to use, hopefully it takes decent photos too.
It may be jumping the gun a little bit, but I also picked up a set of Fusion stemware from Wine Enthusiast. These are real crystal, and virtually unbreakable (we'll see
) We will need a quality set of wine glasses for the trailer and if these can endure the travelling it'll be an improvement over the Lexan or the stainless glasses we use now.

While I napped after work (hey, I had to be in at 4AM, worked until 1PM, I'm old and had 4 hours sleep the night before - you'd nap too!), Beth drew out the details for the Kitchen/Bedroom bulkhead. It has cutouts for the wine rack, an electrical chase, and access to the plumbing for the exterior water fill and
D&W Spray-away. It also has a dado for the floor of the bed to set in.

Christmas Day gave us quite a bit of time to spend on the trailer.
Here's a shot of the first wall glued up and ready for trimming.
.
Beth used a trim router to flush trim the door and window and the curves for the nose and hatch.
.
Then all the edges got a good sanding
.
After that is was back to glueing.
.
The last thing we were able to get done on Sunday was cutting the dado for the bed floor and the kitchen bulkhead into the wall. That was a little nerve racking to watch, but we did a lot of measuring and remeasuring (measure thrice cut once!) and Beth does an admirable job with the router, especially considering the confines of the garage....half of which is (at that point) taken up by the other wall with glue drying
.
The finished wall looks good I think.....you can see it looks quite teardroppish now.
