The two weeks spent in Canada at Daphne's Caravans were really something. I think it's probably the most intense caravan workshop she's ever had. There was a delay with the trailer frame, so the first week I was up there, I mainly just painted in preparation to build. (I'd just like to state here that this is no slam on the trailer designer. Without going into detail, there was a death in his family that week, and I'm amazed that he had the fortitude to finish it at all in the time available. He's a really great guy with a stellar reputation, and I am exceedingly grateful to him.) The frame arrived my second week, and from there it was just a flurry of activity. More about that later. For now, this was my first introduction to my new vardo. One big pile of planks. |

Since they were going to be red eventually, it was necessary to paint them with a tinted primer. I got pretty tired of the sight of Pepto Bismol pink. |

The shed we were working in had its own tenants, and they had a tendency to watch us at night and stroll around on the pine when we weren't around. I figured my friends from the Court of Miracles might appreciate photographic evidence. The return of Eddie Fingers? |

My painting station, and the nasty pink being covered by a nicer shade of red. |

MUCH better. |
