Cell block #1, Oncology ward?? It can happen. Just sayin'
Edit - Just to be clear, I totally agree that deception, lack of business communication (if able), are not acceptable.

Evan
I feel for you guys that are in this predicament.
But remember,
Evan has done some beautiful work.
He built a new set of tanks for my sloshed and leaking RV-6 tanks.
I am on the east coast and had the parts sent to Evan.
He built them and built crates for them, as good as I could have.
And shipped them to me.
He was not the fastest nor the most communicative at that time either, but he did complete the task and deliver the parts.
Just saying....he has done it in the past.
IIRC this is not his full time job and he has a wife and family too.
Just saying
Merry Christmas.

Having been in a precarious position recently, I can say that communication is foremost for good will. I dont know Evan's situation, but I can assure you that life, or something out of the blue that tries to take that life, can happen.
All I can say is that when a client sends you parts AND money, you do what is necessary to communicate update to them. It generally solves most ill feelings.
Fortunately, the RV community is a great family, and in most parts, very forgiving. And, VAF is a great place to get the word out.
In some cases, if you cant do something, then return the parts or money so the client and do something else. Keeping someones money and dragging things out for months at a time probably doesnt sit very well with people. If stuff in life gets in the way, just let people know. Silence in this case is not golden, and it can destroy what good wil lyou have spent a long time developing.

The problem is the lies. There is NEVER a reason to lie to someone. If I build a tank for someone I will always talk to them and send pictures showing where I'm at in the build.

Evan?
So is Evan still MIA? If so does anyone know of someone else that builds tanks?

Repeat Evan customer
Evan built three sets of tanks for me between the years of 2005 to 2009. No issues at all. When I talked to him about another set for a RV-6 project, he was having many issues and would not commit to the timeline I specified. I have not contacted him since that last communication.
I had Ray Lawrence, at Kaolin Aviation(KOKZ), Sandersville, GA, assist me in building that set. The replacements for the sloshed tanks were as good as Evan's work. Ray is still in business and doing builder assists, in the Southeast.
TS: My latest set of RV-6 tank skins are prepunched. Many folks just have an aversion to tank sealant and the mess. The construction and sheet metal work is not much different than wing construction.
