Hello Grant

The Tongue Jack is now put in place. In that pic above it just arrived so just had to take some quick photos.. I,ll take a few more this evening for you.

Just now opened the box of goodies.. Ohhh Sweet.. I,ll take photos of that too..

BTW Grant - Thank You, Hugs and even Kisses to you from Suvi and the Boys. I,ll shake your hand since Im not so fond of sending kisses to guys :lol:

But words cant explain how thankful we are to you and your father.

Your names will go down in the History Books with these Kits.

Thanks ever so much.

Dear Martha.. Reckon were hooked arent we.

Our neighbor called it a Shoebox. :lol:

I told Grant about it as well when we called him this morning our time. :lol:

Im sure it will be fun with them after they are restored.

Small or not small. Suvi says we can really get close now. :rofl:

Glad they have 2 doors though for a quick escape :lol:

Its somthing to get used to being that they are so small. But ok I only saw yours and a few others only in photos. :shock:

Must say we were surprised.

Ohhh fun..

Thanks again Martha..hugs to you and your family.

Ahh yes, Our good friend Doug.. Thank You. It was you that told me long ago what the size of them Kits were. Boy do I realize that now. :lol:

Our plan is to dig into them asap. It will be late fall or early winter. Too much fun outside with the short summer at hand. Presently weve got 28 degrees celcius and its 22:12 local time. Simply Finntastic.

Your one of the great folks that taught us about these and building teardrops and giving advice. This is also a great time to say Thank You Doug. We havent forgotten the 100,s of other Finntastic folks either and to them we say thank you for all advice, replies and teaching about this hobby. We be Hooked. Your all such fantastic folks and that comes from our hearts. Thank You Indeed.

Looks like we have a lot of photos and details to be given in the next months to come. And we,ll be glad to. :thumbsup:

From our entire family Doug Thank You once again for standing with us always. :shake hands:

PS Doug was it 40 pumps on the Coleman Lantern? :whistle:

Why thank you kind sire.

This story was kind of boring there during the crossing for us. Seems like that journey would never end but finally it did, or wait or is it just beginning :scratchthinking:

Big Al in Scotland is correct for true. about his saying. All of you on this forum wether newbies or oldies like us are all included. But you know what, stay that way. :applause:

Thank You for the kind words. This is most likely the highlight of this year.
Not long ago it was the lighting of our 1st Coleman Lantern. Ahh 40 pumps :lol:

That story topped them all.

Our best to you my friend. :shake hands:

from the entire family :thumbsup:
