Canoe Trailer Progress

   I have made good progress the last couple of weekends on this crazy project.  Uprights for the box have been installed, and my home-built "trusses" that have a slight slope.  


My home-built trusses are just 2x4s ripped down on an angle to allow a pitch for rain to not puddle up.

I also added in some inside corner trim.  I thought water from rainy roads may penetrate from underneath at the edge, so I used a piece of cedar (from the old built-in shelves of the fireplace room) to trim out that potential path.  Most of this wood I've used in this project is free: from shipping crates from big equipment at work, so I'm happy to re-use some of my old scraps from the house, too.

Tuba Christmas

This past weekend was the first "Tuba Christmas" that Kiddo #1 was able to play in.  It all sounded just great!  

Here's a picture of Wife with her little bitty euphonium,
 and Kiddo #1 with her well-loved tuba.
