Louella's "Foamie" Group Build

After we made some progress on our build Saturday morning we headed down to New Church, VA to help some members of our Tear Jerkers chapter with their build. Louella and Rick are building a "foamie". Instead of building with plywood, which makes for a fairly heavy trailer, they opted for rigid foam insulation. They will be pulling the tear with an HHR which doesn't have a big towing capacity.

The group had been building all day so a lot of progress was made before we got there.



The foam for the roof was scored on one side to make bending it over the spars super easy. What a great idea!



When basic construction is finished Louella will cover all the foam surfaces with canvas. This should keep the weather out. I'm really excited to see the finished project.

There were also two ponies on the property, keeping and eye on the build. This is Little Buck.


And this is Queen Bee. Guess what the "B" stands for... :)
