A few projects I've been working on.

"Luck" Residue of design
I have been working on a lot of buses for a regular client and also get a lot of trucks to detail. I went out and bought an articulating ladder some time ago and loading it in and out of my van has been a real pain so I decided to design and build a mount to mount it to the exterior of my van so that I always have it with me but only have to horse around with it when I need it.

This summer I took a client out to dinner and left my canopy up. I wicked thunderstorm blew through while we were out and crushed my canopy. I figured someday I could use the twisted framework so I saved it. I took the legs and some of the other pieces that weren't all bent up and made my ladder mount out of it.

I also got my vacuum unit all wired up and ready to place in my van. Now I can run the power for the Vacuum unit to the customer's electrical outlet and then just plug my polishers into it and also have a toggle switch for the vacuum unit in the same box. It's nice to have a little time to get a few of my own projects completed for once. Here are a few pics of the ladder mount.

Just thought I'd share what I've been up to the last 2 days. This van is a work in progress and will be for a while I guess. Thanks for looking. TD
