What is Secret Project Number 36

 When my father passed in 2006, I owned a significant share of the business. At the time, the sisters refused to recognize my ownership. It was just as well as the sisters headed the business towards bankruptcy by giving themselves large raises and two months of paid vacations. When the business could no longer pay the salaries, the sisters stopped paying rent to the landowning partners. I was one of those partners. For five years, I have fought a legal battle to force the sisters to follow the partnership agreement and buy out my share since they refused to recognize my ownership.

However, this is only done to simplify shipping. Step one is to strip the Chassis bare to start the project.   The one picture I forgot to take is the stripped chassis after disassembly and before the assembly started. This photo was taken at assembly school in Howell, Michigan, in January of 2019.  My plan was to document each step of assembly and invite all the friends who wanted to help with the build. The first plot complication was the virus. Inst...
