Anyone had any luck ?
#13
to mount this on top of a boat trailer may require a little extra metal frame work on your part.

I built this 7 feet tall, and notice it towers over top of my truck. I think 6 foot would be sufficent and still give you room to stand up and walk around, and to tell the truth people who stand our height 5 foot is enough if you dont mind not standing for some time.

those office chairs are realy nice as long as you stay away from the vinal ones. they are quiet and gives you the oppertunity to shoot out of any window.

you will deffenantly want to park this in the shade. I was working on it yesterday out in the sun and I could only get in it for 15 minuts at a time. 95 degrees and baking sun inside of a black box makes for a deadly combination.

[size 1]here is the next set of photos.

I have begun assembly of the shack.

today I set up the walls, mounted the roof and hung the door along with calking all the seams.
