Thanks Bob, praise is always appreciated.....Lol. It just sort of got out of control though. Started as a quick tart up but rapidly went south.

Terry,
Are you bloody kidding. NEVER EVER again. Once is more than enough for this old fella. If I was a tad younger then yes maybe with one of the scenic cruisers but I would still need a bit of a kick along.

Hi Shirley,

6 years almost to the day. Didn't work on it 5 days a week sort of thing but near enough sometimes. Did a lot of work at home, cupboards and trim stuff etc. but the rest at the friends house where he was good enough to let me do the major build up. Unfortunately he passed away a few months before we actually finished and I was really disappointed he missed it as he really did enjoy helping out. He had his own steel company so was really into it when we were steeling up. Great bloke and a great mate.

Slowest part by a long shot was the interior stuff. I like woodwork but it was a real PIA doing the trim work, that caused quite a few arguments. Actually almost all the painting work, steel frame and timber stuff was done by the bride. Not without complaint of course....Lol.

Steve,

40 feet.

Beautiful bus & a real credit to you both, a job well done, I knew it was several years I remember you posting when you started same.
Sad that your mate missed seeing the finished MH but guess he really enjoyed your company & helping you.
Now you both have to really enjoy the fruits of your labour, travel safely.
