Danny, That is top notch work! I hope you're pulling that with one heck of a nice car/truck. It belongs with a Rolls Royce. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Danny...what a fantastic job you did!!!! I really like the crown molding over the "entertainment" center....just wait till you go somewhere with it and everyone gives you the "thumbs-up" while on the highway...or dazzle them with a tour while in a campground....your finish work makes mine look like I put it on with a stick!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Doug

Thanks guys, it's definitely not a Rolls :lol: , just a Chevy, but we enjoy it's comfortable ride and it pulls the tear with ease :thumbsup: . 8) Danny

Danny::)

This completed effort shows your attention to detail.
Looks very well appointed. You should have many
good times to share and proud explanations of your
finished work. Cause you know there will be questions
when you are out camping? They will walk right past
those big rigs and be at your hatch wanting to see your
pride and joy. TearDrops have that effect and yours will
show off real fine Danny! Well done! You did yourself proud!

Danny,

Congratulations on finishing. You built a beautiful tear!!! If you tow it to Bingen in the near future please stop off in Camas on your way to let us see it.

Thanks Don, We won't be going that way for a few months since he will be out to sea. He is a trainer for Scan Eagle. I'll let you know when we do.

Halfdome,

Your tear is whole-some :D It does look like a custom home!

Danny, your cabinetry work puts mine to shame. Work like yours and that of Roly (and some others I can't think of at the moment) is what I aspire to, but probably won't attain. But, as amateurish as mine is, I'm still proud of it.
Dale

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

Don't put down your work, Dale. Looks good. Just keep going.
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
