Dan,

When you are done, I had better be getting an invitation to see it. It is gorgeous.

Looking great. that amazes me to put that skin on, no warps, dings, twists, in the aluminum... I can't keep them that clean without having to put the skin on.

Even though it is number 18 on the build list, Whetzeldorf 2 is progressing. Already have a deposit from a customer, moving along with construction. This one will not have a cabinet/appliance area up front. the customer has kids, and wanted bunks up front. Expected weight to be about 900#
