  1. The man is a craftsman. One thing about building your own - you'll know how to fix it and it will be easier than most factory designs that give NO consideration to working on them.

  2. Thanks Chuck,
    Been interested in teardrops for a while, but especially now with the high fuel prices. Do you know if the builder used a purchased set of plans and who he bought them from ?
