W O W IN FREAKING DEED Mark
We will have to apply for security guard jobs at the museum man....

Rick, Congrats on the additions and for finally getting that huge task completed.
Moving your own treasures must have been more nerve racking than other exports I bet.

Nice job Bud, nice job.
I cant wait till August now.

As a footnote, and I hope Rick doesn't mind the press,
I ran a googlemap search once for "Cedar" and these pictures were proudly displayed on the towns home page (for tourists) ;-)

Thanks gentlemen, the photo is of Zambias H2c the day I bought the Depot as overspill for the pole barns, the day I turned from restoring bikes to restoring buildings! I ought to write a book just on restoring "The Depot" :?
