    Just absolutely outstanding workmanship. I hope when I do one of these I show some attention to detail.

    One small helpful hint. There are adapters for the fasttrax alignment tools for wheels w/o a significant lip. Might make your life a bit easier trying to align everything.

    Thanks for your comments. Come and join the fun! I do have and did use those FasTrax adapters. Wouldn't be possible on those wheels otherwise.

    New House Move Underway

    Yesterday we closed on both houses. All went fine with the sale of our current house. Nice young family relocating to the area and our place should be perfect for them. We closed on our new house with some last minute drama, but it's done. Today I had my first riding lawnmower experience. Went fine just took a little longer than (hopefully) normal because the former owner stopped mowing the lawn a couple weeks ago (grrr...). Today was mainly spent tearing down a bunch of stuff in the garage (won't even try to explain) and getting it cleaned up. While my wife supervised a cleaning company on the inside of the house. Decided to move #7750 over to the new digs so it was out of the traffic path moving stuff over the next days. Looks quite comfortable there. That's half the garage in the pic. I measured it at 968 square feet plus the alcove behind #7750. That plus the tall 14 foot ceilings. This is going to work. I'll get the Anniversary build over there in the next couple days. I'm planning to take down those RV quality cabinets when I get the garage back together. That's my new lawnmower ride next to #7750. Nothing too fancy, but pretty low time and was in the garage when we made the offer to purchase, so included it. They accepted. Basement junk tearout and clean-up tomorrow, then we will finally start moving stuff in.

    Nice Paul, with a garage like that you can build two cobras at once. You could take on a build by someone stalled on their build and provide us with even more to read as you go. Thought about this last night at work. I went to the build school, got great information from them. I wish they could have provided support after the class. I guess that is what you do best.
