What this blog is about

This is where Steve and Chris (feveredSteve and ChessQueen) will share the ups and downs of 2011's fun project: building a teardrop trailer.
We'll try and include all the detail we can, along with photos, so that you will know what worked and what didn't.

The wash stand

I neglected to post about the first version of this back in 2016. Here's a photo.
It's got a "tap" made out of scrap plumbing that's attached to a table top sat on an old lab stool. I had a water container under the stool hidden by a curtain and water was pumped via the foot pump into a bowl sat on the table.

It worked pretty well, except the lab stool restricted the size of the water container we could use, so frequent re-filling. And we had to carry a lab stool around with us....

Anyhow, I've now replaced the lab stool with a custom-built stand. Having now made the adjustable leg for the table (previous post), I now had both sides of the old sewing machine table available, so I made this...
...which fits a bigger water container...
...and Chris has woven some fabric for curtains.



The table top comes off...
...and the stand concertinas up like this...
...and the other bits can pack away neatly in a bag.
