Sills in place, and wall construction starts.

The trailer looks better after trimming the excess vapor barrier, and laying out (temporarily) the sills.
The plans called for a flat 2x4 header over the wheel wells (a 75" span), but since we are changing the design by adding dormers and increasing the length of the loft (which will increase the weight on the studs over the wheel wells) I built a double (vertical) 2x4 header, which I feel will be better able to handle the load.

Next, I removed the sills so I could begin laying out the walls.
Getting exciting! It will soon become much more three dimensional. Stay tuned!
