A cubby is a trailer with a sleeping compartment and a kitchen. Towed behind almost anyting, like a 2002 Windstar... anyway it is in the shape of a teardrop. It was not completed but it was complete enough to do a 2 and 1/2 week tryout. Tarps are required. I think, whether you use aluminum skin or not. We used deck paint. and aluminum tape ( check your ducts on your forced air furnace, that shiny tape, we used 450 yards to "trim" our trailer. Also I did not keep detailed notes another "NOT TO DO" so 0 for 2 - wait , it gets better. The sleeping cabin was built for two and slept three (our dog Tikka) slept on a shelf untill the wee hours of the morning and she needed to pee or cuddle - she would jump down, what are the chances of not landing on a person when two persons are sleeping on a 45 inch surface..... sigh. There were some construction "issues" and tarp "issues" and some weather "issues:" but all in all we had a great time but won't take two and a half weeks. But the camping trailer- the cubby, our droplet will be completed and we will go camping agian next year ....now if we can just upgrade on the mini-van........

Cubby camping - our little peace.
Well, it would probably be listed in the number 10 ways on how NOT to BUILD a CUBBY.
What challenges you? I know what challenges me. Negative thinking... negative self-talk. But I am, we are, more than that. I think that with the speed of life we are sometimes are left wanting the speed, and things do not stick, they are a blur. It does not leave us the time to refresh and I do not have a refresh button. The lack of time does not work in our favor as we often think our first negative thought soon the dam breaks and we are a wreck, as we have thrown ourselves on the rocks, the hard harsh words. That is why I write. To show that there are other words, other uses, other chances. You are not the darkness you think. Your may be bad, you may make mistakes, you have a choice........ so choose.... to experience..... hey re-tool, I did, you can; not cuz your better than me, cuz God is.
