This is Great! A great idea.
They're wearing the same clothing in every photo which means it only took one day!
I wish they would come finish my camper in one day then take me for a test drive in their vintage convertible!

I figured out the back story...
The two women were previous “Rosie Riveters” who got laid off after the war and encouraged to go home and have babies. They were both single and had, due to their degrees in engineering from a prominent Southern California university, skills commensurate with building a kit trailer. It really took a week (plus a few friends and a case of Miller), but they were poor from being unemployed despite their education, skills and dedication to the war effort., and had sold all their other clothes to pay for the trailer. If they had had enough money, they certainly would have had appropriate shoes both for the job and the terrain, plus sun hats, trousers and lightweight long sleeved shirts to protect their fair complexions from the desert-like sun. They decided to leave California to see if they could find work in a place where they could do something that required use of their brains instead of being cheesecake. They are now almost 100 years old, living in Sweden where they spent many years working for Saab as aeronautical engineers.

Reminds me of some of the HGTV shows where they build a huge project in a few minutes. You would have to drive all screws and nails very straight since there is no frame work just what appears to be plywood panels. Do you think it came with a warning DO NOT TOW OVER 25 MPH.
