Streamlining the process

Posted on January 23, 2019 by

A bit of a shift in the workload, as I’ve just made an agreement (with deposit) to sell the 1972 Airstream Ambassador. The travel trailer was an ambitious project, to say the least. Originally I’d planned to make it into … Continue reading →

End of year post

Posted on January 1, 2018 by
