Your friends complement you on the new carpet with silver metallic threads, when it is just the shavings you tracked in making it sparkle.

Just reviving an old, but great thread:

...you start another RV project, before you've even finished the first one!

Default 3 moves
Your airplane has 2500 miles on it and hasn't flown yet.

3 military moves. No damage!

Default Pushing the odds
Bugsy,

I understand the military move part... but you should complete your build or retire very soon because my experience says you are pressing your luck!

Just joking...good for you!

Don

I've only got 1700 miles on mine so far... but it's only about 1/3 complete. Guess I'd better move it around a little more so I can get it done!

I bought an RV untouched quick build in Wyoming. It now has around 2000+ miles on it from Oregon to Wyoming and back to Olympia, WA. Hope to see it fly that distance in one day this coming year.

Your wife sees your build budget triple the original estimate and still wants to stay married to you.

Default You are a RV builder if . .
On Christmas morning you are the first one awake and turn the Christmas tree lights on only to see where you left your iPad so you can read the posts on VAF.

This is an amazing thread. It has been going since 8-18-2005.

And it's not even a "sticky".
