I still have a few small things to clean up here and there. Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels great!!
some of the new parts have arrived today and I hope to see some more next week

I now have a roof over the Van!! A friend of mine gave me the frame without a canopy so I bought a tarp and started with that.
I scored some old crates and some plywood for the sides it's starting to really take shape it will be cold this winter but i will be dry

just be care full .I have seen heavy snow and high winds cause this type of shelter to do more damage to, than protect the vehicles under them.

Thanks Wookee that is so true I've seen it happen as well, heavy snow collapsing on top or ripped tarps that flap in the wind scratching up against the side of the van.
I'll be closely watching every day you can bet on that. last weeks heavy winds were vary scary with the open end facing North but there was no damage with wind gusts up to 100 + Km/h I was up for three nights and that is why I have the ropes on they will come off once I close in the North side.
