I ordered my trailer yesterday!! Construction time is estimated to be 3-4 weeks. I think that even Nina will agree that that seems like an eternity...
I talked with Daniel to finalize the specs, and then had a phone call with the trailer place. They confirmed they can install the leveling and stabilizing jacks, so I'm doing that. It will make construction a lot easier... and it had to be done, anyway, so nice to get that taken care of up front.
And then - I have to choose a color. A color! Who knew?? Here are my choices: Color Options
I figured they all just came in black... Of course, I want brown, the closest match to my exterior material, and that appears to be the one color that isn't offered. So, maybe light gray? Maybe forest green? A tiny part of me wants Victory Red -- but I won't actually do it. Then someone made the suggestion of the trailer matching the roof...?? But no - I'd rather the trailer just disappear I think.
Carson Trailer doesn't accept credit cards unless you are standing in their lobby - which I obviously cannot do without buying a plane ticket - so I agreed to wire funds. I was worried the bank was going to close early on Friday for Good Friday, but I made it there in time.
The young man helping me made the mistake (?) of asking me what I was buying. That turned into what was I doing with a trailer? Which turned into an entire tiny house conversation. I said, "Okay, that's it, now I have to snap your photo, and you're going on my blog - you are much too involved now - between the wire transwer and the long conversation" - and so here we are (posted with permission,) wire transfer papers in hand:
I am such a dork. But I'm a dork with a trailer being built just for me.
