Here's an idea for the decoration ... The wife says to Camo it ... for Stealth Camping ... :o that would camouflage all those seams and imperfections too ... :thinking: She may be right , I have the paint for that .... Image

Ps. sorry to take so long on this info :oops: I'm using "Paintbrush" to make the drawings... Was using "MS Paint" , then got a Mac ... PB is similar to MS ...

Looking good GPW. How long do you think you can hold on to it before some one offers to buy it and forces you to build another ? :twisted:

I've talked to people where I work and there is alot of intrest in buying one, not so much building one, and since the hurricane prediction doesn't look so good here on the S.C. coast I may be able to make some money to build another and make more money to build another........ and so on lol :lol:

68G , it's Very possible !!! I gave a friend the small model , and now he has people making orders...for money :shock: EVAC is Very popular here... likely to happen any time, seven day warning to pack all your (your word here) ... Season starts in days now ... :thumbdown:

If you had a small garage to work in , you could knock one out at least one every couple weeks , taking your time ... :roll: The more you do , the quicker/better you'd get too !!!
