Wheel Skirts for Posterity

After almost six months of full-time habitation, the time has come to enhance the aesthetics of the underbelly of the beast -- we are currently in the middle of inventing a (perhaps slightly overbuilt) wheel skirt device to hide the wheels and hitch.  Perhaps this will have a utilitarian heat-retaining function in the dead of winter.  This remains to be seen.  In the interim, here are some pictures of the half-built contraption:

The photographer's breath is apparently visible in the foreground.

Sloped top piece may finally alleviate the water-bouncing-on-wheelwell issue.

Spring will be a good time to refinish the cedar.

Sawhorses will not be part of the final version.
 
Ultimately, this will be painted an exciting shade of brown or dark red.  Stay tuned!
