HI Frank & Jim,
Frank are you building another Spridget maybe the green Bugeye? BTW happy
grand-father-hood I can't find your original post.

I'm finally home long enough to clean mouse pee out of the camp kit for my
camper of which my shop has not done a thing on in 2 months (still in
primer) I scrubbed the wood with bleach & water to kill the mouse
bacteria/virus or what ever mouse pee brings and then wipe with vinegar to
neutralize the smell as per a message I got from VW camper folks. I was
surprised it did neutralize the smell. Not that our Spridgets would ever
have that problem.  If I get the garage cleaned out I may just bring the
camper home in primer.

I'm also polishing Pinky with compound and NuFinish : ) Very shinny.
Lin
PS Any OSHIT days coming up?
