And just to say , in the beginning some people were forcefully insistent that it would NOT work and the whole thing would fly apart at highway speeds … They created a lot of Trouble and tried to ruin everything we had going … Even got me in trouble when I offered a rebuttal …
Thank Goodness, we haven’t heard from any of them in years now … Foam construction now accepted after Foamie travelers have traveled many thousands of miles now ...( none ever blew up )
The very BEST thing for us is Foamies can Live OUTSIDE (uncovered) and yet do fine …. Mine was Built outside and has lived outside for over 5 years now … with no covering other than the outer skin … Recent renovations corrected original design flaws , now we should be good for many more years ...
You’re doing Great !!! … Just keep planning , because the better you plan ahead , the better it will suit all your needs ... the building is really EASY …and lots of Fun, you don’t need a woodshop or exotic tools to make one … Don’t need a Mac Truck to tow one …All for FUN , Fun for All …
yeah...to some of what you said...
as an artist, and a musician...I bet 'you' get it....that 'we' all use more than 'one' part of our brains.....that is some of us.....maybe most of us.....even most likely all of us....its just that 'some' don't get it....and refuse to acknowledge that:
what is seen as pictorial is different than....
what is described in words....than...
what is heard, than.....
what is self written....than....
what is smelled......than even.....
what is touched.....or even....
what is tasted.....
and.....
if only one sense is used.....and used sparingly......sparsely.....not enough......like in short posts....minimal posts...with no differing ideas...with no smell.....no taste.....no feel....no sound.....no pictures....and most important......no 'color' (as in coloring of any of the senses).....its a dull world....
and that it is the combining of all of the above that adds color....and sparse color is like no color at all....so how can that be accomplished with a little bit of Little Thrifty?
usually a forum and me are soon to part.....much evidence here.....lots of concise, precise idiots rule the world.....color my world.....please....
with Big Thrifty's for everything.....I thrive on other's ideas.....and seems there are plenty to found here.....I wouldn't look for 'me' to come up with anything new under the sun......but.....if you have ever contributed some idea on this forum or who knows where else.....you just might find something familiar in everything I am to do.
After skimming Big Thrifty a number or times....I decided that I would....should....and will....am doing it.....go through the whole thing.....and jot down the ideas that I like....follow the evolution of ideas.....and weigh for myself when one idea is thrown away for a new one (will I follow with the choice?)....
Of course the planning is the time waster in most estimations of 'where did the time go'.......But.....like in most other situations.....the more time spent productively planning.....will result in a better mousetrap....five 'P's and all that....PODCC.....Planning Organizing Directing Coordinating Controlling.....its all about the Planning.....
Plan to succeed or Plan for something else.....a box of chocolates no doubt.....you just never know.....
