[Rhodes22-list] Considering a Recycled R22

Wed Nov 22 08:05:31 EST 2006

Slim,
I have attached two - one with sides hardly visible because Bruce wanted a room with sides and a second with screens 360 degrees.  Realistic at about 30-35 minutes installation.  Came together with PTE very snug.  I made one for the Annapolis show with red port side curtains, green starboard side curtains.  Isn't that the way it goes?
R,
Art
