[papercreters] Re: papercrete mobile building or rv type of trailer

It's probably nothing like what you want, but it's a fun inspirational video about the possibilities one might have in a trailer.

Always required buying oversize permits, attaching oversize signs, and flashing warning beacons. Then having to time the drive during least amount of traffic through town.

Have Aurora Borealis tiles (Northern Lights) which glow in the dark plus many other images and you can give us images to put on our items for you. Loads of fun but long hours and lots of people to try and please can sure wear us out. Trying to find a way not to have to work so hard on the building every year too.
