    That is major Deja-Vu for me! My dad was an Engineering Foreman on the huge Power Dam project in Shawinigan, Quebec. That Hydro dam generated most of the power for the US Atlantic seaboard for years. When he was done, the Premier of Manitoba, where I live today, hired the firm to build a huge Floodway, which the nicknamed after the Premier Duffy, as Duffy's Ditch.

    I was about 18 months old, when we were on site, living in a 17 foot version of that same trailer. Ours had the front side windows like yours and two back windows. My two baby sisters slept in special bunks right next to the two back windows, and I slept in a crib at the back. My folks had to lower the front table and make their bed up at the front! Neat. :rofl2: :rofl2: :)

    That's the one, man! I remember my mother using long cigarette paper and those old long tobacco rollers for my dad's daily smokes. She tried smoking one and lost last-nite's stew and splashed me with it. Yuk!:whew:

    Thanks! :D

    You got a good deal. All the basics are there, now you can add the Microwave, solar panels on the roof, all the new goodies and still save $10,000 for a new small one.
