These CLC folks are on it. I got the UPS part of the order within a week and the rest arrives today (just 2 weeks, I was expecting 4-6), weather/driving conditions permitting. I’m going a wait a little longer before I start working out in the garage because the temperature keeps dipping down to single and negative digits. But while I was clearing room for the boxes I found a really nice heater my husband had stashed in the back corner; fingers crossed that it works. In the meantime I went through the manual and picked out a couple things I can work on until then to keep me busy (like the hatch bezel, maybe even fiberglassing the door hinges, we’ll see). I’m trying to get my corgi excited about all this, keep asking if he wants to go camping 🙂
I’m also VERY glad I asked for an electronic copy of the manual and studied it, it’s not a huge deal but my physical book doesn’t have anything about the mounting block for the galley hasp whereas the e-manual does. Cheers to being anal!
All the positive input has been super reassuring, I love it. Kit has been ordered, because of the promo they’ve got going I got my roof vent for free – and it ships out next week. I was so excited when I called to order that I totally forgot about the electronic manual so I emailed the salesperson and was sent one right away. I’ve flipped through a bit and I’m up for the challenge!
rovineye, I really like the “Hopitat” sticker you put on your TD and am leaning towards labeling mine as well. I’ve had special stickers made for car windows before, is that was you did? Did you have to put any type of seal on it or anything?
Thanks, handersen, I was thinking about doing something similar but probably more ghetto 🙂 There’s a couple things I’ll be able to do inside my house which I’ll take advantage of and it should warm up outside quickly after I receive my kit. Today it’s 8 degrees and falling (ugh, even as I type it dropped a degree) but 4-6 weeks changes a lot up here. If you were able to keep it that warm for that long with no space heater it makes me feel less nervous about being warm enough.
Thanks for the positivity, probably just worrying too much because I’m so excited! That’s a really good idea to get a copy of the manual while I wait for shipping, I’ll do that.
Our garage is detached but it’s still close enough to the house that I can go back and forth from the house to the shop to refill my MAS products, at least when I first start out. I’m sure it’ll be a pain but it’ll be worth it. I probably won’t post my entire build because that’ll just slow me down but I’ll definitely post some updates. I plan to devote some serious time to this because ideally I’d like to use it this year.
