I cant even remember the last time i drove it, its sad. $300 a month between the payment and ins and i dont even use it, but it should be used pretty heavily for shows next summer.

Dan, did manny have any luck selling the rabbit or any of the equipment?

I think a lot of the equipment is gone, except for the banks.

I believe he still has the bunny.

Anyway, update #1 for the day.

Last layer of the floor is in. Brings the total to 2.25" plus the 2x4 bracing on the bottom.

Its fcuking solid as hell.

But I wonder if bringing it up to 3" would be worth it? Hmmmm

You can see the variations in the mdf color.

What's with the weird 2x4 MDF stool ?

Looking great.

Thats just what it is.

My ghetto stool I sit on when I screw things in.

Works great.

6+ and 6- runs. I should probably add 2 more of each later, but well see.

****. Let me get a spool or two:naughty:

Okay well I have never seen this happen before.

I guess due to the cold and the torque on the screw, the screw bit broke off.

Weird.

Just got back from the Tenacious D movie. I liked it alot. Go see it.

Got second layer of the roof in. Its the hardest of all sides. I do require help on the roof. I get down on my back and hold it up with my feet while someone clamps both sides into c-clamps while lining up the edges. Then I screw it in.

Corners come next.

3rd layer on the right side is in!

I may have time to build a baffle and everything else on Sat and Fri. Hmmm... ::

I have more more sheet left, so Ill get the 3rd side in on the other side.

So all layers done on floor and 2 sides very soon.

I decided Im doing the corners last. Going to get thinner mdf so I can slide it in and make everything flush. I forgot about the 3/4" corners when I built the frame. Oh well.

Gotta pick up a ton of 2.5" or 3" screws. My 2" screws keep snapping now and its pissing me off.

Nice and thick. Solid.

I break bits often. It's a pretty common occurrence, even in 80 deg weather. Happens when you're torquing on a screw and you get off-square just a little.

Keep us updated !

Got the third layer in on the other side.

Ran out of wood for the night. I got 4 more pieces. I may start tonight, but its starting to drizzle out.
